No guns is 100% better. There's no debate shit is better up North.
Unless the government is the one you're afraid of sending masked men with guns into your home...
I hope you guys never have to make the same level of risk assements.
But apparently body armor isn't even legal in Canada to start with, so this is all off topic anyways so I'm just gonna peace out.
Take care!
It is legal for the most provinces, but most also require a PAL as well.
In my case, I'm not looking to use any gun, just to have the ability do the best practical minimum and protecting my protect my vital organs some.
Like you said, it's not 100%. Ok.
I hopefully never need to wear it. It's more in case if ever an emergency situation. And one less person for police and military enforcement to worry about.
It just doesn't cover as much as people think and really expensive unless you get surplus vests which can be cheap.
Take some first aid classes instead, knowing what to do and having the supplies to help will make you feel better and is more likely to be useful in and out of your home, and for things other than gun violence.
If you own your home, for the price of a new vest you can get an exterior grade door installed on a closet/bathroom/basement and have a super cheap safe room that would work way better at not being shot at all.
But think about the chances of someone being in your home with a gun, and just shooting you a few times only in the vest. As morbid as it is, why would they just stop instead of finish shooting you?
Like, even just jumping out a window and running would be a better option than a vest. If you can't do that because of a family, what is one vest solving? We're back to a safe room being better.
This is this best response here!
Thank you for that. Well shared and practical response.
Having a small super safe room does sound ideal!!!
Canadaians own guns you doofus
You may not understand any part of the conversation, but you're upset and want people to know both things...
I want people to know the truth? Yes
