Her husband, a legal gun owner, didn’t have time to load his shotgun, but pointed it at the criminals who quickly took off.

The family, who immigrated to Canada six years ago, say they now fear for their safety and say more needs to be done to catch and punish those responsible for recent home invasions.

“It’s a criminal situation in this country. It’s a terrible situation,” the mother told us. “I hope maybe the government will see what is happening. I have hope, maybe government will change the law and do something.”

      Would this situation be better if they’d all had guns?

      No, not at all. This home owner was lucky they didn’t have handguns or shotguns, most people cannot stand around while their family gets man-handled by hoodlums like seen in the video, Canada needs sane self-defence laws that don’t favour the criminal over the victim.

      Our government needs to focus on violent offenders access to deadly weapons, not folks who follow the law by obtaining a firearms license from the RCMP and who already receive daily background checks.
