If a libertarian believes in individual freedom and responsibility, he'll also believe in the individuals right to protect his home and family.
Assuming it's true that gun control doesn't work (a position I'm shifting towards) then it's (obviously) true that gun control doesn't fit the libertarian's view at all. That said, I think it would still be less offensive to the libertarian than imposing conservative values as at least the intent behind gun control is public safety.

Not sure how I would look at them now with the two latest leaders they have had.
Dion moved the party away from fiscal responsibility. He turned out to be a left wing nut and that's why he's not the party leader anymore. It's hard to say where exactly where Ignatieff would fit in.
