Being able to defend yourself in your own home is and always will be a God given right. Who are the RCMP and the government of Canada to take that right away from you? If someone breaks into your place of residence and tries to harm or kill you or your family, your natural instinct would be to protect/defend yourselves. Not according to the RCMP, you will be charged for defending yourself by any means.

Here's an article: http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/01/20/man-faces-jail-after-protecting-home-from-masked-attackers/

That man had a long court battle.

There are a lot of cases like theses ones in Canada, and if you defend yourself, you can be looking at more jail time than the offender and its time the people say ENOUGH to the government.

We the people can't sit back and let the government and all the police forces dictate us, whether protecting yourself with a baseball bat, knife, gun, axe, broom' or using whatever force necessary to protect you and your family and property it shouldn't matter, IT'S YOUR GOD GIVEN RIGHT!

I for one used to be a proud Canadian and now, because of these government laws, I am disgusted. If you believe you should have the right to self defense then please, sign this petition.
