We have a camp with coyotes around and I’m aware of this exception - it’s part of the reason I’m a firearm owner.
But this case is not true for the vast majority of Canadians. The additional nuance here being that it’s still illegal to use or point that firearm at/on a human, even a trespasser.
Illegal and necessary are two different things.
Philosophically, Im from a long line of pacifists. Practically, if Im Gerald Stanley and someone is on my yard and threatening my wife, Im pointing my gun at him and telling him to get the hell off my property. I’ll deal with the charges later.
