So now after years of Canadian police blaming victims of theft of not securing their stuff, they now want you to leave your stuff unsecured. Cool, Cool, Cool cool.....

But if someone breaks into your house to steal your keyfob, and you shoot them... suddenly YOU'RE the bad guy.

You have to stab them with a hockey skate, as is tradition.

Oh I thought it traditional to just invite them to the backyard rink to slap a puck around with a can of blue.

Oh if someone breaks into you're house kills your kids and then they find loose ammo in the house you're the bad guy. Canada has somehow made chief Wiggum look good.

One of the things Oregon does right. Rules on lethal force:

https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_161.219

"a person is not justified in using deadly physical force upon another person unless the person reasonably believes that the other person is:

(1) Committing or attempting to commit a felony involving the use or threatened imminent use of physical force against a person; or

(2) Committing or attempting to commit a burglary in a dwelling; or

(3) Using or about to use unlawful deadly physical force against a person. [1971 c.743 §23]"
