Interesting if true, at least does appear to be per capita

Trudeau bans handgun sales in Canada today:

Deep wisdom from Teudeau: "But other than using firearms for sport shooting and for hunting, there is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday lives."

Lolol so why do your armed guards need them?? I guess the concepts of crime and self-defense don’t exist in your utopia?

What else do you expect from a statist? that is their team and they look out for it.

Wooded beardsmen getting their guns grabbed by an agnostic unitarian.

Seeking the opinions of a bunch of disabled 45 year old elven LARPists is like trying to discuss philosophy in your local walmart parking lot.

I'm glad someone else understands the scope of this forum, at least

And I've been robbed in a Wal-Mart parking lot twice, and been arrested once

Robbed twice is pretty scary

I don’t carry a gun anywhere. Not on me, not in my car. Only if I camp, and only then if it’s going to be a rural area. We have lots of campgrounds with tons of people at them that are closest that I have camped many times at unarmed

I can outfight or outrun any threat, not worried about it. My dad is in a constant state of disappointment for buying me a 9mm more than 6 years ago that I have never shot once, not even in practice

But when I get old and frail I will probably carry. Women, especially alone at night in a sketchy area should carry. I see so many stories of women deciding to walk home at night from a bar unarmed that end up in pieces in the woods somewhere on the crime channels I watch

The interesting thing is out of the dozens and dozens of stories I’ve heard of abducted and murdered women, almost none are killed by a gun. The only memorable one I recently read was a serial killer picking up truck stop sex workers that executed them with a 22 shot to the head

The vast majority of women are either grabbed and man-handled forced into a car or talked into it. Then they are almost always strangled, second most common death seems to be beat with a blunt object. So being armed could have saved them

The caveat is that the person needs to be able to handle the gun quickly and confidently. I’m not sure if a girl with a gun sitting next to an adult man intent on killing her, if that gun can save her. What if he leads with a sucker punch to the nose? She gonna keep her wits about her to get that gun out in time? Let’s hope so…
