Mike K says:

Where can I buy a Coldsteel Torpedo in Canada? I have seen some throwing
videos too and it looks like an interesting tool. I didn’t know about the
engraving, looks nice. 

caddilacjim says:

Great points,I would never even consider using an airgun for self defense.

bfgguns says:

I would never use a toy to defend my life. You are better off with a club
or baseball bat.

fordxbgtfalcon says:

Canada sucks ass!! cant use a gun to protect your family? what if the
invader had a gun? what kind of law makers do you have in that shit ass
country??

Tom Rawley says:

Lol ‘2….400’. Hah hah.

StarPuss www.ToxicRedNeck.Com says:

*YUP I would take a Big Knife over a BB Gun LOL!!!*
OR Better yet a Real Gun!!

TheMrAGsmith says:

what about a 25caliber air pistol they can take down coyotes they have
some air rifles that are 50cal that would stop someone

Ghondi1 says:

Self defense? No, Getting yourself killed? Yep… 

Muphlon says:

so the best way would be to use the gun, change barrels and get rid of the
body in the forest?

MACH1 E-Scooter says:

I disagree. You can use an airgun for self defense. First, as you said one
may think, it’s real and second you don’t want to get shot even with an
airpistol as it hurts badly. You can even kill someone with that by
shooting into the eye or throat. It’s all about the shot placement. And
still if the shooting power is not enough for stopping someone, then you
can still punch him. It will give you an advantage in the fight 😉 Anyway,
it’s better than just using your fists or other stuff 😉 Watch some videos
here on YouTube, some idiots have tried this. I can post some links here,
if you want to ;)

Canada seems nice. In America police get away with murder all the time. 

POVgames says:

“Here in canada the police can’t just shoot some kid in the back”
I really wish I lived in canada;

American police will shoot dogs that make noise, and often shoot people
reaching for things, (IE, unbuckling a seat belt)
They’re mostly power hungry bigots, but hey, that’s what kind of people you
attract when you pay someone ALOT of money to be above the law.

Jonathan Hildebrand says:

Depends on what state in the U.S

Mackbros24 says:

If I shot someone with my pellet rifle with special hunting pellets and I
shot them would that do any thing its .177.

musiclovr2 says:

whats bad is ppl can still be charged with carrying a look a like ,or
wrongly using a weapon , even a ink pen, or anything can be charged as that
these laws are such bull shit they dont want ppl even defending them selves

XF360 says:

In the UK you’re only allowed to use what you think they’d do to you, so if
they absolutely wanted to kill you then you can do the same to them,
likewise if they had a gun and you happen to own one legally then you can
use them. I wouldn’t recommended using a weapon, a baseball bat is
perfectly fine unless they have a gun, in which case, you’re fucked.

fx02zbn says:

Better to be tried by twelve than carried by six.

Tom Rawley says:

Heh! ‘Cleaning it at the time…’ Love it.

Muphlon says:

mike, in canada, if your life was in danger and you shot them you would
still get charged with murder/manslaughter. it’s very likely that would get
acquitted, but the system is set up is a way that obliges the police and
prosecutor to charge and prosecute you.

tyler111762 says:

hell id rather take pot shots with an airgun than nothing

Arief Makmur says:

Better We use a Big dogs such a german Shepherd Dog’s or Rottweiller,
Dobermans, or events an American Pittbulls.

Taeshin Taechaaukarakul says:

So we can’t defend our self in Canada ? This is bad cause defend=no your
family get killed=yes

SigSkyline says:

The short answer is no, but it doesn’t stop me from keeping my We
Scar-L/XM203L loaded with cayenne pepper for the potential intruder. Being
in Canada, my choices are limited. 

McKeegan H says:

with your trapping license here in Ontario you get the ability to carry a
handgun while trapping

mihkel markus says:

in canada u cant use pistol for home defence, so if u shoot people who
brake in, you will be a criminal, but.. if u shoot with shotgun or rifile?
xDD

lthammox says:

Very sober video. I’ve got several proper guns in my house, but I’m not
even sure I would go for them if faced by an intruder. If you bring a gun
to a fight you take it to a whole other level – where people can get
killed. Are you really prepared to become a killer? Depending on the
situation I might have a gun at the ready, but I would never ever brandish
it. Statistics show that most intruders scram if they know they are
detected. If they are armed, they are more likely to shoot at you if you
constitute a lethal threat youself. Owning guns for self defence are self
defeating – espescially in a society as a whole. Therefore I support gun
laws like in Canada or my home country of Norway. It makes sence that you
may only acquire pistols for target shooting. A weapon’s intended purpose
will also reflect its philosophy of use. Norway is pretty high up on the
list of guns per capita, but have v v few gun related deaths. I agree that
guns don’t kill people – but intended use does.

Jose Oliva says:

wow, so you can’ defend yourself at all in Canada without been charged with
a crime? How stupid is that.

steve white says:

guns don’t kill people.people kill people

JTstuff1 says:

Canada beat USA in hockey :(

Cory Sennett says:

There is no law nor penalty I’m worried about when it comes to protecting
my family. If their lives are in danger, you best bet the intruder is going
down. 

northcacalacka545 says:

I like my laws here in North Carolina. We have the Castle Doctrine here.
Your home is your castle, if someone invades it (not uncle Joe), you can
shoot them, no questions asked, no bullshit I wonder why they are here, are
they going to hurt me or my family. BAM! We’ll talk after the shotgun
blast….

Illyious Parsons says:

a man in the uk broke into a garden knocked an elderly man over then ran
into the house, the son came out of the bedroom and took him down and then
the burglar sued the guy for back injuries….. 

Martin Ruut says:

What about a nailgun? I bet it can stop anybady!
