I feel for the decent, law-abiding Canadian citizen, no Second Amendment as U.S. citizens have to protect their natural right to own a gun for self-defense. Yes, natural right, what more fundemental right does a human being have than using any means they choose to defend their life against the scum of the earth?

Canadians think our gun control laws are too easy, and in the same breath complain that they cant defend themselves.

If anyone has been proven to be irresponsible with guns, its certainly law enforcement and the military.

Strathmore RCMP are investigating a home invasion that took a deadly twist early this morning. At about 3 a.m., two culprits broke into a home near Langdon, about 20 kilometres east of Calgary.
An occupant of the home fought off the attackers, RCMP said. One of the attackers died at the scene. The second culprit received serious stab wounds and fled the residence. He later arrived at Strathmore Hospital and was taken to hospital in Calgary in critical condition.

The victim in the home was taken to hospital by ambulance to treat his injuries, where he is listed in stable condition. Another occupant of the home wasn't hurt.

All of the parties involved knew each other, RCMP said.
Calgary RCMP general investigation section, major crimes unit, and forensic identification section are working with Strathmore RCMP on the case.
An autopsy will be scheduled to determine the cause of death.

But if me, a not drug dealer with no record kills an intruder to prevent a murder and rape of my girlfriend or wife, and subsequent robbery or arson to cover it up, would any of you fellow Canadians raise a rucus?

RCMP release the name of a man killed during a home invasion east of Calgary

LANGDON, Alta. - Police have named a man who died during a home invasion in a hamlet east of Calgary, but say the cause of death won't yet be released.
The break-in in Langdon, Alta., last week ended with one invader dead and the second in serious condition with stab wounds. RCMP say 32-year-old Lance Norton was killed after two men forcibly entered a home and burst into a bedroom where a man and his girlfriend were sleeping.
They said at the time that a struggle ensued, and Norton was dead when police arrived.
They say the cause of death won't be released until the medical examiner's report is completed.
The Calgary Major Crimes unit is continuing to help with the investigation.

Affair may have sparked break-in
By NADIA MOHARIB, SUN MEDIA

A love triangle may be behind a botched break-in that ended in the death of one of the home invaders, sources say.

The shocking incident early Thursday morning near Langdon left 32-year-old Lance Norton dead.

His 27-year-old accomplice also fled the scene with severe stab wounds after a man and his girlfriend were attacked while they slept.

Cops have said the two bandits were known to the 35-year-old resident and his girlfriend, and there are no indications the brazen break-in was drug or gang-related.

"Until the completion of the investigation and until the actual motive is known, we won't speculate on what the motive is," RCMP Cpl. Patty Neely said yesterday.

However, sources said the 24-year-old woman in the home, who was not hurt in the incident, may have had prior romantic involvement with one of the suspects.

An autopsy was completed yesterday on Norton, a resident of the Strathmore area, though cops are not releasing the cause of his death.

The other intruder, meanwhile, was initially listed in critical condition but released from hospital yesterday.

Charges are pending against the latter man, who sources said had been stabbed nearly a dozen times before he fled the scene around 3:30 a.m. Thursday morning, only to turn up later in Strathmore hospital.

Neely said cops are not yet certain if the incident will prove to be a case of self-defence or if murder charges will be levelled against the man living in the home, who suffered minor injuries in the botched invasion.

The case has ignited debate among people across the country -- many who wrote to the Sun yesterday -- about the rights of people inside their homes to defend themselves against criminals. This interest in the case is hardly surprising to the founder of the Canadian Justice Foundation.

"For people, their home is their sanctuary," said Shawn Howard. "When somebody violates that, it has far-reaching impacts. I would be surprised if he is charged and ... if a jury would convict.

"We don't know what went on in the house. Ultimately. people want to feel safe in a place they call home."

But if me, a not drug dealer with no record kills an intruder to prevent a murder and rape of my girlfriend or wife, and subsequent robbery or arson to cover it up, would any of you fellow Canadians raise a rucus?

I would grab the nearest weapon I have and take him or her down without a second thought. To me that is reasonable, anything less is plain stupid.

in civilized states, as well as countries, you have the absolute right to kill a piece of shyt as soon as he steps into your house. in texas, which is the most civilized, you can kill them in your yard.
i have shirts that say, "happiness is a warm gun and a dead thief". that is what makes the world go round. only a total idiot would not kill a punk who broke into their house.

Your right to property does not over ride a persons right to live. You have no more right to shoot a thief, than the state should execute a shop lifter. Or you have the right to execute somebody with a shot to the back of the head for driving with undue care and attention and rear ending your car.

I meant that IF I KILLED AN INTRUDER who broke into my house TO PREVENT them from murdering me and raping my wife or girlfriend, and then the criminals robbing my castle, and burning my sanctuary to cover up the evidence, AND THEN IF I WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CHARGED OR CONVICTED of murder, would my fellow average joe Canadians PROTEST my conviction...
