   Guns are not allowed in Canada 'for trespassers', ya dumb rabbit.   
   They're not even allowed - with very few exceptions - 'for personal   
   protection'.   
      
   You might want to reread the Canadian laws, gun owner.  Because you seem   
   as screwed in the head as most gun owners who become criminal gun users.   
      
   And you might also want to ask what people in more crowded countries,   
   where guns are just not allowed at all.  They don't have the 'privilege'   
   of threatening someone's life over trespass.   
   Time Canada got smarter.  Certainly it's too late for the Americans.
