    My point was, don't worry about it, just like with lightning strikes and shark attacks. By arming yourself daily, in the 1 in a billion chance of being in the area of an active shooting, you actually increase the danger of harming your family. Not only do you chance having an accidental firing of your own gun in your families prescence, but in the extremely unlikely event of being in an active shooting scenario, you put a very large target on yourself, unless you manage to completely catch the shooter off guard at point blank range.

    Even people who practice with their handguns daily have trouble hitting a distant target when adrenaline kicks in. So if you miss, you now have the shooters full attention at you, and your family.
    not to mention the potential of hitting an innocent bystander, potentially in a situation like the OP where it was targeted and you were never in any danger, or perhaps due to mistaken identity... then what's your family going to do when you go to jail for manslaughter/murder?...

    I think there has to be a middle ground between arming myself, and playing the lottery. I totally agree with your points, I'd rather not arm myself because of the arguments you make, but I'm not comfortable with ignoring the situation. What if it progressive gets worse and worse like in the US?

    Good convo sir.

    Take martial arts (Krav Maga) and learn to defend yourself that way.
    If you’re ever faced with a defence situation, you are much more likely to be attacked with a knife, bat, fists etc than anything else

    Victim blaming people who have been struck by lightning or bitten by a shark is not very woke, sir.

    lol because the United states is doing right, gun violence/deaths/rate in the united states > Canada. It is also the highest for a country with countries with high standards of living which makes no sense because gun crime (and crime in general) is normally positively associated with poverty (more poverty=more gun crime/crime). Funny people bring up the United States gun laws as a model...

    Yup, Canada needs to fix its broken self defence laws before CCW is even a talking point. Plus the last thing we need is trigger happy cops assuming everyone is packing like in the USA.
    Cops already assume everyone is packing some kind of weapon by default, otherwise they are doing themselves a disservice - it's why you are supposed to keep your hands on the wheel in a traffic stop, and it's why often there are 2 cops that approach your car even for a basic speeding ticket. It's also why most of them wear a bulletproof vest 100% of the time they are on duty. Even loss prevention/mall cops always have to assume people have a weapon on them and protect themselves accordingly. I don't mean draw their guns or anything, but they take extra precautions based on the assumption that the person is armed in virtually every scenario. Just like if someone breaks into your house, it would be wildly irresponsible to assume they are there for any other reason to harm you or your family, because you won't find out until it's too late.

    Well yeah, of course there will be way more in the USA than Canada. Population of ~37M vs ~327M, way more gang violence (around 80% of the gun deaths are gang related and often with illegal firearms), lower access to quality education, larger barriers to healthcare and mental health help, 50 different background check systems that don't talk to each-other, etc. It's a lot more complicated than that.
