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. |

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

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?! |
