Can you legally shoot intruders in Canada?
This morning I was telling my brother, who lives in Montana, about thief's trying to steal my F-350 recently. They punched in the door lock, and tried to jam something into the ignition to get it started. For some reason or another they gave up.
My brother told me I needed to get a 9mm. Put it in a locked box in my closet. If I hear somebody trying to break into my house I'll have the firearm for protection. I told him that I would go to jail in Canada if I shot a firearm at an intruder.
I know there are lawyers and police officers that post on this site. Can you shoot an intruder in Canada? What if you legally own a firearm and you shoot somebody in your own home in self defense?
