Honestly, if you have to shoot and kill someone who is coming into your home to kill you or someone in your family then I would much rather have a court case than be dead, so who really cares what the laws are, it is not like you are going to keep from shooting and be killed because you do not want to defend your actions in court.
There are consequences to your actions, positive and negative, you use your judgement and I will use mine, I do not fear anyone will be coming in through my door to kill me.
Violent crime numbers in Canada are very low and your chances of being involved in one goes way down if you simply do not commit crimes yourself.
The rate of homicide in Canada in 2012 was 1.56/100,000, attempted murder was 1944/100,000. In the US the rate of homicide was 4.5/100,000, that is 2.88x greater murder rate in Canada than in the US and guess what, we cannot legally walk around with loaded guns all over the place and have loaded guns laying about in our homes. Oh, and I forgot, when was the last time a 3 year old shot and killed their mother in Canada? I do not recall that every happening, but it has happened multiple times in the US.
CANADA IS NOT THE US, STOP THE FEAR.
