Fuck'in "A" - and got the fucker in the leg, right on.. We need the same gun laws as they have in the USA.

But until then, shoot to kill, then bury the body.

[BartSimpson]

Even in liberal California this would've been perfectly legal and the only person facing charges would be the thief. One of these days someone with some sense is going to fix your laws.

$1:

Police charged Gerry Edward Franklin Bigchild, 19, of the Sunchild reserve with possession of a weapon for the purpose of committing an offence, careless use of a firearm, use of a firearm while committing an indictable offence, and aggravated assault. On Wednesday, he appeared in Rocky provincial court and got bail.

Yep, that's it, throw a bunch of charges at the guy defending his property, no mention of what the thief is charged with. I don't want American carry laws in this country, but somebody defending their home is a whole different story.

Yeah, the property owner defending his home will "probably" have some jail time...

While the theif will get, probabtion, sue the home owner and of course get rehabilitated back into society to steal or worse to another victim.

Justice system in Canada seriously sucks.

(Something we can agree on Bart, but Texas gun laws rule.)

He wasn't defending his home...he was defending a fucking quad or its gas. He exited his home then decided to "shoot in the direction" of the would be thieves.
Spare me, please.

He's getting charged for careless use of a firearm for one. He didn't take deliberate aim and shoot one of the fuckers, he unloaded in the direction they took off in. They hadn't even managed to steal anything there ffs

And these are the kind of gun owners that people cheerlead?
I have no issues with self-defense, but being willing to shoot and potentially kill someone trying to steal "stuff" is almost incomprehensible to me. And to just blaze away in the "general direction" is TOTALLY indefensible!

And actually, he wasn't defending ANYTHING! They tried left empty handed BEFORE the gun was even drawn.

Here you are defending the civil rights of a criminal.
Spare me, please.

[Heavy_Metal]

you are not to take the law into your own hands! if you want to shoot something, use a camera, fly out with a camera take pictures of the scumbags and give the pics to the police, when the hell will people learn, we have police for a reason.

Civil rights of a criminal? Are you slow in the head? Yeah, and what IF someone not even involved in any of this had been in the line of fire and got hit? You'd still be cheerleading this 19 yr old fucktard?
And I'll repeat, they tried to flee empty handed BEFORE THE GUN WAS EVEN DRAWN!!!

Yeah, you've got a point - the dick heads didn't even steal anything. But I get so tired of these pukes.

Your courts and ours have ruled repeatedly that the police are not there to protect anyone or their property. They maintain order. Period.

So down here most states' laws recognize this point of jurisprudence and don't bother fettering people with silly rules when they have to defend themselves or their property. Because the legal expectation is that you are your own first responder.

But for some reason you and people like you are possessed of the bizarre notion that something magical happens to people who put on a badge and that they become uniquely qualified to protect everyone everywhere and that only they can be the High Priests of The Law.

And that's a fine attitude to have for a people who need to be ruled.

Oh trust me andy, so do I! But this kid did SO many things wrong when he shot at them. Hell, even in the Old West you couldn't really shoot someone in the back, no matter how big an asshole they were.

The only thing I have to recommend here is that the 19yo kid should spend some time at the range with a certified instructor and I'm also going to recommend the kid get himself a more accurate pistol with a little more stopping-power. I'm biased towards the .45ACP but I guess he could also go with a .454 Casull.
