Angry Oh Cana-duh: Canadian Man Charged in Home Invasion...For Defending Himself

Break-in suspect shot, man in home charged
THE CHRONICLE HERALD

A man is charged with attempted murder and a raft of firearms offences after helping fend off home invaders, one of whom he’s now charged with shooting.

Kyle Earl Munroe was arrested on July 12 after RCMP and Halifax Regional Police responded to a report of a home invasion involving firearms at a home in Porters Lake.

Police said that three men entered the residence with guns and a struggle took place with two men inside.

The two in the home seized a firearm from one of the suspects and several shots were fired as the suspects fled. Police later located one of the suspects, who had non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.

Munroe faces charges of attempted murder, intent to discharge a firearm, intent to discharge a firearm when being reckless, careless use of a firearm, improper storage of a firearm, pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm knowing that possession is unauthorized, and possession for the purpose of trafficking.

“Right now they’re just pending charges,” said spokeswoman Chris Hansen at the Public Prosecution Service.

Munroe is banned from any contact with two named individuals, must attend court as ordered, keep the peace and be of good behaviour, not leave his residence except for essential activities such as work or medical appointments, remain in Nova Scotia, not consume drugs or alcohol, not possess a cellphone or pager, have no weapons, and answer the door to police when they check at his home.

Munroe is due back in Dartmouth Provincial Court on Aug. 22 for election and plea.
Homeowner takes the home invader's gun and uses it against the home invader, and the homeowner gets charged? WTF? No really, WTF?

OK, the full list of charges is really stupid, but this one takes the cake: possession for the purpose of trafficking

Did he try to sell the gun after defending himself?

Sounds like the prosecution is "stacking charges" in the hope that the investigation will provide evidence for one or more of the charges being upheld.

Also, it sounds as if Mr. Munroe was shooting at the home invaders as they fled the home. In that case, it could be difficult to maintain that you and your friend were still in imminent danger as the home invaders had left the house and were presumably onto easier pickings elsewhere.

They always charge the homeowner in those cases but 99% of the time they get off in court. Stupid laws up here about not legally defending your castle.
Once he got the gun he should have just beat the guy with it....that would probably be ok. Firing a weapon is a felony.

Hopefully there will be enough fallout to get those laws changed.
Wouldn't count on it though.

Not going to happen. Up here only the criminals have handguns for protection. And there's more of THEM everyday. Mostly criminals killing other criminals (damn imports)

Firing a weapon is illegal unless you're hunting with a license or at a qualified range. And that's not going to change.

Sounds like this is a law done to make more work for the lawyers (or whatever you call them up there)

So nice to be in a country that your a subject, not a citizen!

Canada: we are the gov't, it is our duty to defend you, don't try this yourself, that is against the law!

citizen: what about the criminal that attacks me?

Canada: that's our job to deal with him, call us, we'll show up. eventually. just hang in there, after all, we're the gov't, we protect you!

citizen: you aren't and you can't.

Canada: shush! have you seen our Mounties? aren't they good looking?!
