What kind of world do you live in that you need to be blasting people in the face with a flare gun? Is it really that dangerous out there? How many of you guys have shot other people? Don't get me wrong, I would feed anyone a lead pill if it meant any harm to my wife or children, but the chances of that situation arising where I am from are about 1 in 30,000,000! So I take that calculated risk and do not carry guns, baseball bats, knives, taser guns, etc for personal protection. I am by no means a peace activist and I own lots of rifles for hunting moose, deer, elk, bears etc.
Is it just the media that gets you guys all worked up packin heat for personal protection, or are there confrontations all the time or whacko's trying to "get" you? I am just a plain old Canadian and not once in my 32 years of life have ever been scared of being attacked for any reason. I would move somewhere else if I was always living like I was prey on the food chain. But what do I know... ... . I am just a Donkey!
