00:02:13And then there were issues around storage.
00:02:16But I think some people will look at it as another case in which,
00:02:19sure you can use a gun to defend yourself to protect your your home your family but if you do
00:02:25the police will find something to charge you with and i mean in this case if he's found guilty
00:02:31depending on the judge he could do a significant amount of time and so you know it's this whole
00:02:38quandary around defending yourself we you know what in this country our politicians particularly
00:02:44the left-leaning ones are uncomfortable with the idea of people defending themselves
00:02:48aren't they yeah they they literally are in fact in in that last home invasion uh i made a video on
00:02:58it the bridal path home invasion it was uh some eight or nine days ago now and the police have
00:03:04got no more information on the suspects there's been no arrests in it uh in fact they had the one
00:03:11guy in the hospital and they let him like you know go i would have arrested the guy but they said oh
00:03:16know, made reasons they didn't arrest the guy. You know, the homeowners, three people got shot,
00:03:24one got hit with a hammer. Police are all kinds of hands off on that one. Here in this one in
00:03:31Glengarry, as you say, this guy fought back. He shot a bunch of the people that were breaking in.
00:03:38Now, they didn't charge him with shooting the people. They're saying he did have self-defense,
00:03:43But to your point, they just couldn't help but resist to lay the other charges for having the guns, having the firearms and storing them improperly, which, okay, we all kind of get, but I don't think it's going to go terribly far when it goes to court because the police wouldn't have had that information had the guy not been involved in shooting to defend himself.
00:04:06they come into the house they come upon the information is that a legal way to take it to
00:04:11have it to charge the guy or not i mean that still needs to be determined but once again i was
00:04:18watching before coming on your show here the supreme court hearing today where the canadian
00:04:22coalition for firearms rights is in the supreme court talking about the government coming and
00:04:27taking your firearms by regulation and i tell you it's one scary thing watching some of those judges
00:04:32the way they ask questions it makes you worry that these are really the people in charge of our
00:04:37rights uh canadians have got to come to grips at some point with what's going on here because the
00:04:45violence is increasing the use of weapons by bad guys is increasing the police saying as i was
00:04:53going to finish off the last point they're saying no no if someone invicts your home just call us
00:05:17In a locked safe where the firearm is unloaded.
00:05:21I mean, how quickly can you get access to that firearm to use if you hear
00:05:27noise and maybe you can see security video that somebody's on your property or inside your home
00:05:35you know uh i mean you would understand this better than the average person having been a
00:05:42security guy yourself i mean do you have enough time to you know especially if you're you're maybe
00:05:47a little nervous you're tense you know you you want to defend your home you got to get to the
00:05:53safe. You know, you got to open the safe. You got to, you know, you got to do all this stuff.
00:05:57I mean, how practical is that? Well, it's not practical for self-defense. In fact, those rules
00:06:03are made pretty much to make it impractical. As you said, gun has to be locked away, trigger locks
00:06:10on them. Ammunition has to be stored away from the guns. It all has to be secured, the whole
00:06:17thing. And each time the police will define for themselves that they think it's secure enough or
00:06:22not. But the issue of being able to defend yourself is coming up. Now, you can buy devices
00:06:27in the States. You can get little safe locks right beside your bed that hold the gun in there with
00:06:32the ammo and everything, and you can't get into the darn things, and you just got to put your0.84
00:06:36fingerprint on there. It reads your fingerprint, unloads, puts the gun out, and then you have it
00:06:40to defend yourself. This is coming up more and more. I mean, churches are now asking, and synagogues
00:06:46are asking for the law to be changed, that you can use firearms to protect places of worship.
00:06:53People may not know this, but in Canada, you can only use guns as a security person,
00:06:58if you're not police, to protect valuables. Jewelry, gold are very valuable things,
00:07:04but you can't use them to protect human life, which is funny because human life is more valuable
00:07:10than the golds or the things that you're protecting. So we just had a synagogue shot0.66
00:07:15to pieces, shot to pieces with not, if not for some hero cop, man, I'm very impressed by that
00:07:22Constable Smith. They'd all be dead in that synagogue. There'd be 30 dead people in the0.99
00:07:27synagogue. So they're trying to get the right to use guns to protect you where people are coming
00:07:31at you. And clearly now we're seeing a massive increase. I think it's more than 45% in the GTA
00:07:37area, the greater Toronto area for home invasions going on. And these are violent, violent thugs0.90
00:07:43that are coming in. These aren't someone coming in to steal your PlayStation out of your basement.
00:07:49No, they're coming for your crypto, your gold, if you've got firearms in there,
00:07:53all that sort of stuff. They're coming and they're willing to do harm. In the Bridal Path case,
00:07:59beat your wife with a hammer in front of you unless you give the stuff up. So it really is0.91
00:08:04becoming an issue, Mark. That's why I'm glad we're talking about this. Can you defend yourself?
00:08:08will the government let you defend yourself? Let's be real. Crime is up. Repeat offenders
00:08:14are released on bail. Police responses are slower than ever. And in many places,
00:08:19law abiding citizens are expected to just hope nothing bad happens. That's not good enough. And
00:08:25that's why I'm very pleased today to be telling you about Berna. And I'm so pleased to have this
00:08:29partnership with Juno News because I actually own one myself. I bought one before we ever had this
00:08:34deal with Berna. So what is Berna? It is a non-lethal self-defense launcher that gives you
00:08:40real protection without carrying a firearm. It looks like a firearm. It kind of feels like a
00:08:45firearm, but it's not. It's non-lethal. So Berna launchers look and feel like a real handgun,
00:08:49but they don't use bullets. Instead, they fire powerful kinetic rounds designed to stop a
00:08:54threat from a distance up to 60 feet without lethal force. Here's why it matters. You don't
00:09:00need a firearms license. You don't need a background check. There's no waiting period.
00:09:04There's no permanent life-altering consequences if you're forced into the situation where you
00:09:10have to defend yourself. Use the link in the description or visit junomarketplace.com
00:09:14slash Berna for special offers. Make sure that you're prepared. It's better to be safe than sorry.
00:09:20I think they're discouraging people without actively saying don't do it with the laws that
00:09:26In this case, I mean, this guy could end up going to prison for 10 years, you know, if he's convicted on the various charges and, you know, all depends on the judge, you know, kind of a person he is, whether he's empathetic to people defending their home.
00:09:40But it just seems to me that they've kind of rigged the deck in favor of discouraging people from defending themselves and defending their home, uh, without actually saying you can't do this.
00:09:51But, you know, to me, I mean, if I were ever in that situation, I, well, first of all, I happen to be in Florida.
00:09:59So here, like the cops will pass a lot and say, thank you.
00:10:06But I mean, in Canada, if you do it, then I would certainly not be talking to police.
00:10:12And this is going to sound bad, but, you know, they're going to be asking all sorts of questions and they're asking you to make a statement.
00:10:17I would think twice if I had taken a couple of people out, you know, with a firearm in my own
00:10:23home, defending my own home. And they're going to come in and ask for all sorts of information.
00:10:29Understandably so, they're trying to piece together exactly what transpired. But you got
00:10:33to figure at the end of the day, you're the one who's going to end up charged. So you know what,
00:10:37I'm going to lawyer up the first thing that happens in a case like that. Call the police.
00:10:42And then when they show up, I'll just say, you know what, I want to talk to a lawyer immediately.
00:10:47To me, that's the way I would handle it, based on the way people end up getting treated in cases where they end up defending their home and family.
00:11:00Like I said, I worked in law enforcement and I worked in private security protecting billionaires.
00:11:05And let me tell you, I had plans on how I was going to protect them.
00:11:08It was not just something I would think of on the whim of the moment when they were going to come in.
00:11:13And I think what you're going to have to do today is you need to have a plan for your home and for having a home invasion.
00:11:20If you're in any way remotely think that you might be the target of one, you need to have a plan for it.
00:11:26And so, you know, the issue today, I mean, I laugh sometimes back in the old days, they used to say, oh, children, we don't talk about our money.
