I spent the first 14 years of my life in Nebraska, then moved to Canada with my family. I had a gun by the time I was 10 years old, and I was TAUGHT how to use it safely. Nebraska is also an open carry State, so I was very used to seeing guns. I don't care what anyone says... just having a gun on you can help to avoid any violence. I've seen it. What I'm hoping for here in Canada, is the right to open carry. Our cities are getting worse and worse, and I don't like being out at night because of the threat of violence. I'd also like to see the right to purchase handguns again.

@CCFRtv Yet, you've had years to call for civilian carry And you've stayed quiet, YOU and your second rate "gun lobby" are a fraud Rebuild your underwhelming "gun lobby" to be more aggressive like GOA
It's a slow process to change the law. Alberta is moving closer to the right to bear arms for self-defense. I hope we can get there in my lifetime. I quit being a peace officer 11 years ago, and yes, when seconds matter, the cops , on and off duty, are minutes away.
Unless you are rural like me. 20 to 30 minutes sometimes. Even longer if a train is stopped on the tracks. ( I'm in alberta ) Crimes up in rural areas, and the wait times mean you are faced with a decision. Defend and probably be charged. Or lose your stuff and attempt to run away. Not always a option if it's -35 and u have kids or are old. And in this day and age. Losing your tools could mean you don't have a job sure insurance will cover it a month or four down the line, in that time you got no food, powers shut off. We need a castle law. We need it bad in rural alberta.
What about those of us, who are according to some from less than ideal family background, who had to use self-defense once without bearing arms to survive a dangerous situation too. Are we supposed to be okay with being called a crazy female for doing so for the rest of our lives after that or just a no good low like only because we are from any kind of indigenous background while we didn't at the time use a purchased fpremit and a purchased firearm to defend ourselves while planning ahead before that kind of near death experience?
@@DDMV-ve5qf ya agreed that would be the most sensible first step, especially with how many Canadians recreate outdoors having the right to defense would be key
Concealed carry in the city....actually "everywhere" for legal RPAL holders with training. Fun fact.....PAL and RPAL holders have more safety specific training than any RCMP constable...
@@vincentrogister5006 I always carry either a 12 gauge pr a 45-70 carbine when in the bush.....that comes from a large part of my life spent working in the forest.
@TheWolfsnack ya I'm in rural Ontario I was camping on a private campground with my wife and infant son cooking breakfeast, when three dogs one of them a Rottweiler came to see what was cooking. I had my back to the dogs my wife seen them and called my name in a scared voice, luckily I grabbed my tomahawk and chased them off the golden retriever ran the minute I raised my voice but that rotty didn't flinch it was only when I lunged at him winging the axe he tucked tail. Ever since then I bring my remington 870. I've had more issues with aggressive domestic dogs than any other wildlife and I wouldn't hesitate to put somebody's dog down if it threatened me or my loved ones. All that being said it would be really handy to have a revolver on my hip and not have to haul around a heavy long gun especially for all the backpacking I do along the bruce peninsula which has a high black bear population as well as rumors of big cats. I would mind lugging the couple of pounds for the peace of mind I currently carry a fixed blade full tang bowie knife to fill that role might be too much for some people but I think it sends the right message to anyone who would think about trying something out in the woods
Ian, as someone who has known you for many years, I could not be more proud of you for speaking out for the Canadian Charter of RIGHTS and the absence of personal defense rights in Canadian Criminal Law 🙏
I'm on the fence about it. As a Canadian myself I have seen shit in my life that would make your head spin. We are polite superficially, but Canadians are BELLIGERENT. Lots & lots of proudly antisocial Canadians. Have a Canadian 2A could turn into a bloodbath. In America it's a bit different, yes they have their problems but the 2A has been there for so long that everybody's used to it by now. It probably wouldn't work if it had never been there and they tried it today--too much bloodshed.
I'd say open carry for ARs, MP5/SMG (semi autos), big barrel revolvers, other rifles except snipers and concealed for full-sized to sub compact handguns
With advanced training in firearms handling and legal training like that of police officers, along with enhanced background checks, I think the public should have that option available to them. Selling the idea to a society like Canada, who've been indoctrinated to believe that the government will keep you safe, if only you give up enough of your freedom, it's an up-hill battle.
When my friend Dennis Strongquill was murdered in his RCMP patrol car he was still unable to protect himself and died because he was a police officer and Mike Templeton was shot in the face by criminals on the highway he stopped . and these criminals could have killed many people but they were shot by police in Saskatchewan and the one girl who was with them is already on the street terry lin bell is her name . when the justice system fails and innocent people who defend themselves are turned into criminals it shows our government cares nothing for the peoples safety as police can not always protect themselves and shows the contempt they truly have for the safety of the people of Canada . When traitors are still in our government and no action is taken to arrest them then we are doomed by the corruption of this clearly compromised government who are surrounded by people with guns to protect them but not the people.
The fact that a professional hunting guide can get an ATC for self protection in the wilderness, however myself as a seasonal solo hunter cannot is a double standard. I cannot have my rifle at the ready at all times when I’m out there. It’s not just the hunt, it’s the hiking, camp set up and duties, meat processing, firewood collection, going to the bathroom… name it. And as a seasonal hunter, I am more susceptible to the dangers of wildlife with new territory, limited local animal awareness preparation, etc. most professionals work the same territory, at the same camps, which are maintained for significant periods thus discouraging animal encounters.
Well said i understand your comment.. its not just as your hunting it should be at all times. Like you mentioned taking a shit in outhouse and somthing happens.. theres no time to wipe your ass and run to the cabin.. i fully understand the way you may think
@@broomfieldsdual-sport on the north arm of Stuart Lake, a man that looked after a lodge was eaten by a bear exiting the outhouse. I remember this well. My dad was a helicopter pilot, and tradition is pilots going over camps check in. After 4 days of pilots flying over the camp and nobody coming out to wave, they went in and his half eaten body was found. Politicians and bureaucrats have no idea.
A helpful first step is to learn more about self-defense rights as they currently exist, and understand when and how they apply. Sharing this podcast is a great way to start conversations and build awareness. The more voices that speak up, ask thoughtful questions, and offer positive solutions, the more we can influence public perception and support constructive change.
@@Silvercorecafirst step is to have a “proper” government redefine what constitutes a threat to life and property including rewriting the firearms act. I have a plan but no one to hear it.
Pierre Elliot Trudeau had a non-expiry permit specifically to carry a handgun concealed. Through a FOIA application a couple of years back with results posted to a firearms owner forum it showed 2 concealed carry permits issued in Canada. The FOIA requester stated Bill Blair was one of them but I don’t know how it was discovered. If I had to guess, the Sgt at Arms in parliament was the other.
Open carry is a no no for me. Conceal is better. Nobody needs to see the gun. I don’t want to see it in public. Let it be hidden and out of sight because that’s going to lead to people trying to grab it
That's the wrong attitude. They work for us and Trudy has proven that the government will act against the people. We have the right to protect ourselves and we will force that upon any tyrannical government.
45:40 why not ask for the opposite letter from the chief of police? ask them to sign "police will protect you in case of [whatever] and you do not need ATC". And if they fail to protect, then you can come after them with everything you've got and sue them into the ground.
The police have an obligation to investigate crime _after_ it occurs. They do not have an obligation to protect you (mostly because this is, as you point out, literally impossible). This has been ruled on numerous times by the courts both in Canada and America.
@@J.DeLaPoer that would sound great in court: Lawyer: did you get a request for ATC from the victim? Witness: yes Lawyer: did you approve it? Witness: no Lawyer: did the victim indicate they need it to protect their life? Witness: yes Lawyer: and you still denied the request? Witness: yes
@@jimc9516 About 15 years ago I actually did apply for an ATC for protection of life (non-wilderness). Long story. Point is, *the ATC application form requires you to list at least 3 documented attempts on your life plus a signed admission from local police that they are unable to provide adequate protection for you.* Even if you can prove the former, no police department out there will ever give you the latter. It's a PR nightmare for them, even despite being true in general. Unless you're an "elite" with special privilege levels of course... EDIT: And the application also costs $97, which is non-refundable when you're denied. As of 2013, according to FOIA request, there were only something like 23 (non-wilderness) ATCs current in the country, and only 1 of those belonged to a regular private citizen. All the rest were for politicians and other current/former government agents, and cops. The system is broken to the point of being patently useless, and _intentionally_ so. I'm grateful I no longer live in Canada.
Greatest podcast I have ever listened to, on this topic. Nicely done. I’ve shared it with a few buddies who have military & policing backgrounds. Well done!!!! 👍🏻
Someone asked me what I would do if someone was breaking into your house at night and was a threat to your family. I would call 811. They said you mean 911 and I said I'm going to need to know where I can safely dig a hole in my back yard.
Agreed. We should start a thread of other Canadian content creators that have firearm related or self defense content. Specifically for Canadian laws. I’ll go first: Runkle of the Bailey. @RunkleOfTheBailey @direct_action_combat @theguywithbeardgunsandgear
Unbelievable, thank you for the best conversation on self defense in canada I've heard. 2 points tho, self defence is expense in court we need to change the laws on that. Also, it's illegal to carry something for the purpose of self defence in canada, we need to change those laws too.
One of the best conversations on the subject that ive heard to date. Canada needs to revamp the firearms act and allow people to properly protect themselves without the threat of jail time for saving yourself or your family.
This interview and discussion is the MOST SANE argument for ATC and the 7th amendment security of person I have ever heard. BRAVO. Of course the average citizen will not hear this or hear it with a closed mind but at least it is being said out loud by someone that is in the know.
I came across this video unintentionally this morning. ❤ I'm thoroughly enjoying listening to this informative conversation. There are some great questions being asked here. The RCMP officer speaking on here (Ian) has a very commendable approach and is very level-headed not only in his responses but clearly in his actions too. Thank you very much for sharing this video.
I want my Canada back the way it was before. Great guest. I really appreciate this podcast I don't get into situations but if I get a surprise attack on me, I am afraid to defend myself because I am afraid to lose my privilege to my firearms even though I am a responsible firearm owner. Criminals carry weapons on them all the time and they walk among us but good citizens, ex police or military guys not allowed I don't understand it. If we could carry tools on ourselves I am pretty sure criminals would think twice before they use their weapons. I am a tough guy but I don't go outside after dark anymore It's crazy out there Work and home. That's it.
Sock boy Turdo said you are not allowed to shoot someone who has broken into your home and is trying to harm you and your family. He said in that instance killing someone is not necessary. Dont believe me look it up he said it.
What a great discussion the topic was articulated so incredibly well, you guys put into words what most of us are feeling but couldn’t express to this level. I really hope this gains traction, Ian seems like such a professional no nonsense decent person. Much respect to the both of you Thank you!
This was a great podcast; Ian Sim was great to listen to. When I saw the news coverage regarding 4 people seriously injured in the targeted White Rock shooting, where criminals used assault rifles, it made me think how citizens are severely outgunned in a self-defense scenario.
the fact someone can break into my home steal me shit and i legally can be sued for intervening is ridiculous… canada has a lot of issues with justice system etc.
Unlike the USA who has "shall not be infringed", Canada has the notwithstanding clause, which makes our charter of rights a charter of permissions on whatever whim of the Government.
We need a constitution that clearly states that if public servants/ government do not work to uphold it they are disqualified and illegitimate, what else is government for?
The only rights you have, are the one you know about....and are willing to enforce. This is a sad state of affairs that Canadians have landed in and we are happy to hear this discussion. Thank you for the conversation!
“Except in accordance with the principles of fundamental Justice” And there’s the rub. Who determines the definition of that sentence and those principles? Why do you think the first section is about the government being able to curtail all of the rights following after it? And why is there section 33? The problem with self defence and the charter, I think, is that the charter is to “protect” us from the state. (Although covid showed us different) And self defence from violence and criminals isn’t seen as protection from the state. The state says x, y, and z are illegal and if a private citizen is doing any of those to you don’t worry about it, just call us and we’ll protect you, you are not competent or trustworthy enough to protect yourself.
I think it's worse than that, at this point. The government has a vested interest in maintaining a monopoly on the effective use of force. They don't care if you live or die, as long as they maintain complete control over the limits of your response to their actions.
I got grizzlies and wolves that walk around my home all the time.. but i can't carry a pocket knife for self defense without prosecution if caught by law enforcement? Canada needs to wake up. Not woke up, wake up. Criminals don't care about laws, they discuss consequences and adjust the price of drugs or weapons accordingly. If your a law abiding citizen in Canada. You should be able to carry reasonable protection. Especially if you live out in the boonies like i do. This is ridiculous. I was told to dial 911 if someone tries to take my life with violence growing up...🤦♂️
Here's how our idiotic law works. You're not allowed to carry a knife for the purpose of self defense. You can however, use the knife you carry to use as a tool to defend yourself, just as long as that's not the reason you had it. Same with guns and home defense. Can't buy a gun for the purpose of defending yourself, but if you happen to be forced to use your shotgun you use for target shooting to defend yourself, that can be ok. Biggest thing if you're forced into that situation is do not talk to the cops until you have a lawyer. If you're going to jail because you legitimately defended yourself, chances are it's because you talked to the cops before you consulted a lawyer.
@@RodneyR1986 Was that gun properly stored in a safe? Was it locked with a trigger lock? Was the ammo in a separate locked container far from the gun safe? If someone breaks in and wants to do you harm, you're dead. It takes time to unlock a safe, to retrieved the locked (rifle/shotgun), to go to the other secure location and unlock the ammo storage, take the time to find the right ammo, load the gun then save yourself. Unfortunately while doing this you have to be on the phone with 9/11 who will tell you, as you are being stabbed, raped or beaten, then you should comply, maybe give them your car keys and hope you don't get sued if the perp trips on your rug.
31:20 Unfortunately, very few officers have that mindset. They would prefer people die rather to use the very same tools the officers have. Every last person who has defended their own lives has had to face the crown and a judge not to mention an enormous financial burden for legal representation. Most officers are more than willing to press charges on the victim and that I blame on the recruitment process as well as those calling the shots. Just ask Ian Thompson how that went. Ask Gerald Stanley how that went.
I am not personally interested in concealed carry per say, but because I live out in rural Alberta, where police response would be in excess of 30 minutes, I am more interested in personal self defense rules against home invasion.
You are welcome to differ in your opinion. As someone who has been trained as and worked as an armed guard, trained as and worked as an armed guard firearms and use of force instructor, created and delivered courses and syllabus’s for armed guard firearms and use of force student and instructor programs both provincially and federally and provided expert testimony for both crown and defence counsel on use of force and weapons related matters I disagree. Armed guards carry firearms for protection of their life or the life of a third party in the event of imminent grievous bodily harm or death. They aren’t armed to protect money.
@@Silvercoreca Ok Fine if there was no money or valuables to protect you wouldn't be allowed to have the gun! I know the gov likes to confuse the issue with bs but this fact remains!
Being responsible for movement of securities or money puts your life @ risk, hence the need for self protection. It should be the same for those working in remote locations. Recently a 66 yr old tradesman in rural Saskatchewan was held at gunpoint had his truck keys taken. Was moved into a building and shot. Tough old bastard walked a mile for help and is still alive.
@@thomasjeffersoncry They aren’t allowed to have guns so they can protect cash and jewelry. They get to have them because openly transporting and controlling hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars of negotiable goods puts them at higher risk of a violent encounter from criminals seeking to commit armed robbery.
Lots of things could be said, to me the bottom line is, right to carry arms for personal saftey, if the politician cqn use guns for their own personal saftey, so should the citizen. Of course a background, and saftey course.
I served the CAF and black badge qualification and pal instructor and a former small arms instructor in the military and I would gladly teach for free weapons handling and would give free PAL courses if we had a self defence rights
@@sansremoro3724 Good to hear from an instructor…. You know the requirements for blackbadge and maintaining that! I shoot as a competitor, IPSC, 3 Gun and long range. Have trained both in Canada and the US. Home defence is a must based on criteria but I see and know many that have qualified for their blackbadges that don’t continue to meet the requirements to hold that ability. You know being an instructor the expectation of being a blackbadge holder, and if these people don’t maintain the requirements what will the regular citizens be like with the ability to CCW…..WE KNOW I’ve heard every excuse from these people and I for one don’t want to be in someone’s background who rarely shoots when that person decides to cowboy a road rage incident or be a hero in a mall parking lot. What’s the next scenario when my children or grandchildren get hit sitting in the vehicle 10 feet away…..as a guy who’s already trained and training 3 to 4 times a week, what’s my call at that point?? Pandora’s Box people………
With the high rate of major crimes & the fact that most criminals are out on a promise to appear & a Piece Bond even before most police officers are finished their shift. We really need to have castle law for forced entry in our homes from unwanted criminals. I live in a big city & deal with unstable people, gang members and thugs. No I'm not a cop just a security guard of 26yrs. I'm about done with this big city crime. I retire in a few years and I'm looking to move to the Bush away from all people. yes getting food & gas will be hard to get if I do this, but I'm done with these lawless people and want to get away.
As a victim twice of gun violence, I 100% agree with the right of Self Defense for all Canadian citizen. Legally vetted, licensed and trained individuals should be allowed to apply for the Authorization to Carry (ATC) a firearm in Canada. Currently in Canada it is illegal to “be prepared” to protect your own life and those you are in charge of. Long podcast, but very good… Thanks you to Travis,,, years ago for allowing me to take the Silvercore Use of Force training (Armored Car Guard) at the Justice Institute of BC along with many other courses offered at Silvercore. Thanks Dennis Galloway (Dievert’s Jewellers / Vancouver Island) th-cam.com/video/OnK2lzFUf6o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3vnoTumHj4c1VcHb
59:20 it would be a matter of time before someone says that officers carrying off shift puts more officers at citizens disposal therefore no need for civilian ATC/CCW. What’s good for them is good for us.
Like like like. Commenting for reach We're losing our basic rights in Canada under this Trudeau/NDP government. Not just safety rights but also property rights People need to hear this and think about how it affects them, and vote accordingly
@@loganwhite3904 No political party in Canada would get elected by promoting self-defence rights before an election. Sheep fear sheep dogs just as much as they fear the wolves, because they're too stupid to know the differnce.
@@loganwhite3904while I agree, that may be a political strategy to avoid being deemed "extreme" or otherwise evoking a negative emotion from potential voters. Not every conservative, whether a politician or civilian, is pro gun or pro carry.
Our charter is too weak imo. The thing is that if you read it, our rights can be taken away in certain circumstances, such as in an " emergency ". It's more like a charter of privilidges when the powers that be feel like we deserve them.
How much time gets wasted when the cops do get there but then have to acquire knowledge of the situation and then make a plan, then to execute that plan?
Especially if I’m taking my child with me who is of hunting age (12+) into provincial Forest with only bow, so they can learn, but cannot bring a shotgun for protection. My obligation to protect my children is my utmost priority and concern, but the DNR officer says just carry bear spray. (Which we do). But if you end up having to field dress and pack out a quartered animal in the dark, in the forest, Leaving a massive BLOOD scent and all you have is a bow you are in a very vulnerable position. Shotgun with a light should be allowed in archery season.
@@SvenTSchixe curious, how many ads are on it? Will see if there is a way to reduce the number of odd without turning them off completely. TH-cam doing its thing.
@Silvercoreca I just finished the podcast and there was approximately 15 to 20, I lost count after 15. Nevertheless great show though, awesome work, I really appreciate what you do.
6:30 gonna be honest. as someone who spends a lot of time involved in politics... i don't know what the charter says because its not worth a damn. everything after section 1 of the charter is entirely irrelevant because of what section 1 says. We don't have rights in canada. we have privileges subject to the governments whims. so why give a damn about the lies they put on paper to trick us into thinking we have some kind of protection against their abuse.
@tyler111762 Very well said tyler. Over the years they made everything a privilege. From having a Driver's Licence to operating a Snowmobile to owning a Firearm. And they make you pay dearly for taking advantage of those privileges.
up to 1998 in Canada you could get a wilderness carry via your work requesting on your behalf, and the aeronautics act said you were supposed to take a firearm with you at all times for survival in operating an aircraft in sparce settled areas. Then the socialist govt there stopped it.
It is a horrible feeling when criminals come to your door armed and want to hurt you or your family and you have nothing to protect yourself and your family.
Good podcast. Our actual self-defense laws as outlined by S. 34 of the criminal code are very robust. We have no "duty to retreat" in Canada and I disagree with complicating S. 34 with whatever the Brinks/Armoured Car ATM guys are doing. That said, I believe there are two quick options to allow for conceal carry in Canada. First, the province could technically have "reserve constables" who are volunteers and have to pay for their own training (with some sponsored training from the province). These volunteers would have opportunities for additional courses so that they can volunteer with law enforcement and would be on-call for responding to fire and flood disasters. There are a few problems with this plan due to the medical & fitness requirement to be a 'reserve constable' but it could be brushed away by using 'inclusivity'. Second, as you mentioned, the province could just become more liberal in handing out ATC licenses. Both ideas come with complications, but it's the two routes I see as "win/win" situations for the province (i.e. Alberta) and the individual. I'd suggest for Ian Sim to check out a dude named "John Locke" who wrote "Two Treatise of Government" which was very influential on the American Constitution. Locke's idea's about "natural laws," the "state of nature" and the right to life and liberty was fanatical but also logical. I'm sure Ian's already heard of him, but I figured I'd throw this out there anyways. Thanks for the podcast and I'm glad to see the channel doing so well!
There needs to be a voluntary course for rpal holders to gain a civilian ATC and have a certain number be activated on rotation daily by location. It’s time to let Canadians who wish to, at least attempt to defend themselves and their communities. It’s getting to the point now thanks to various political decisions, that Canadians need to take a new approach to their relationships with firearms.
Why is Safety degrading worldwide....? We used to have a "High Trust" society....We have a great culture in Canada and this is being degraded to our own detriment. "Strong and Free"
Strong and free? Canada is a developing nation, we were never strong and free. A high-trust society is very fragile, trusting strangers is naive and they will abuse it every chance they get. People are fucked.
Six years in the Canadian military in the infantry. The safest I ever felt was in the middle east with a pistol on my hip. When you are properly trained and have educated yourself in a subject, you feel empowered.
The problem for leting retired police and off shift peace officers is that those people still are subject and owned by the state. Were talking about freedom people. Not creating a standing army. If you make some more privlaged than others for protection of their or their loved ones life then its is still but a privilege and not a right. We are not seen as euall value as a human being if you have anything that tells someone who hasn't commented violent crimes that this person can carry and this person can't.
someone said police cant respond to a gu N call unless two respond, so at night in rural areas its a long time when they pair up to save you. we read about a guy in Calgary Alberta who had the carry permit, and used it one time while at a motor cycle shop being held up. . was gunned down one day at a stop light . They said the Federal police firearms are a problem as they are prohibited status and no new prohibited statuses will be issued.
Different situation maybe different topic for conversation live in rural farming community along Maine USA border been big changes in our once safe never locked doors or took keys out of anything farming neighborhoods today we have youth and people from here and not around here our population has grown since covid and even before from all across the Midwest and the country really lots of meth and drug problems theft is major problem on farms not everything can be locked up but we are now faced with being faced with being locked up ourselves when police are called and you've stopped someone or God forbid brought a weapon out to even warn them your defending yourself and you're property just the threat won't be the criminal caught in the act with handcuffs on it will be you for defending or uttering threats when they roll in lights blazing hour later
Police carrying off shift s o they can violate peoples Rights on and Off duty, fucking 24/7 Police state. Thats one of the very negatives that would cuase im pretty sure. Just let all law abiding competent people carry what they need.
Armoured car guards are allowed to carry to protect money. Nobody is allowed to protect themselves in Canada with a firearm and if you so happen to use a firearm to protect yourself or family the police charge you with as many charges as they can and you have to spend thousands of dollars to defend yourself and hope you did it right so a judge or jury will come to the conclusion you had no choice, your firearm was locked up legally and you used it properly as far as law will be interpreted. This country has really changed in the last 10 yrs and it’s getting worse. We need the laws changed to protect ourselves from being locked up.
@@Silvercorecain regards to the armoured car guard, wouldn’t the two go hand in hand? I mean, I’m pretty sure the only reason one would “mess” with said individual would be for the money no? In the case of an armoured car robbery, is the protocol to simply give up the cash?
@@andrewdominowski4631 well, yes and no. It’s kinda tricky because how would you attempt to get money from an armed guard? Ask nicely? Or threaten them which could end pretty badly for you because now they feel like their lives are in danger. They can’t protect the money, only themselves.
@@T_Amphetamine ya that’s what I was thinking. Honestly not looking for an argument but rather clarity. Hope I’m not coming off as argumentative as that’s in no way my intention. I kinda feel like this boils down to some kinda weird semantics dealyo. Like with knife laws. A dude carrying a knife for self defence = major no no. Exact same knife but for the purpose of opening packs of skittles… good to go. What a head scratcher.
Having a atc program setup in Canada would not be hard. Even if it's a multi week certification course and a yearly qualifier would be completely reasonable. Not to poke fun but as a sport shooter who has observed officer training i think they could also benefit from more routine training. Not everyone is a competent shooter and that's fine but for those that are I see nothing wrong with qualified carriers.
Secondly I'm very happy i found this podcast and appreciate what it brings to the conversation, both of you brought up great points and I couldn't agree more! And north America as a whole could use alot more common sense.

Self defence is a natural instinct. It requires no sanction from politicians.
Unfortunitely the politicians are creating laws, and the courts are enforcing them, that do not support our rights.

It's a slow process to change the law. Alberta is moving closer to the right to bear arms for self-defense. I hope we can get there in my lifetime. I quit being a peace officer 11 years ago, and yes, when seconds matter, the cops , on and off duty, are minutes away.
Unless you are rural like me. 20 to 30 minutes sometimes. Even longer if a train is stopped on the tracks. ( I'm in alberta )
Crimes up in rural areas, and the wait times mean you are faced with a decision. Defend and probably be charged. Or lose your stuff and attempt to run away. Not always a option if it's -35 and u have kids or are old. And in this day and age. Losing your tools could mean you don't have a job sure insurance will cover it a month or four down the line, in that time you got no food, powers shut off. We need a castle law. We need it bad in rural alberta.

Shoot shovel shut up.
Also watch John Robson's documentary on TH-cam regarding our history with Firearms and Self-Defense.
What about those of us, who are according to some from less than ideal family background, who had to use self-defense once without bearing arms to survive a dangerous situation too. Are we supposed to be okay with being called a crazy female for doing so for the rest of our lives after that or just a no good low like only because we are from any kind of indigenous background while we didn't at the time use a purchased fpremit and a purchased firearm to defend ourselves while planning ahead before that kind of near death experience?
Canadians who a legally vetted should be allowed to CC & Open carry in the wilderness
@@DDMV-ve5qf ya agreed that would be the most sensible first step, especially with how many Canadians recreate outdoors having the right to defense would be key
Concealed carry in the city....actually "everywhere" for legal RPAL holders with training. Fun fact.....PAL and RPAL holders have more safety specific training than any RCMP constable...
@@vincentrogister5006 I always carry either a 12 gauge pr a 45-70 carbine when in the bush.....that comes from a large part of my life spent working in the forest.
@TheWolfsnack ya I'm in rural Ontario I was camping on a private campground with my wife and infant son cooking breakfeast, when three dogs one of them a Rottweiler came to see what was cooking. I had my back to the dogs my wife seen them and called my name in a scared voice, luckily I grabbed my tomahawk and chased them off the golden retriever ran the minute I raised my voice but that rotty didn't flinch it was only when I lunged at him winging the axe he tucked tail. Ever since then I bring my remington 870. I've had more issues with aggressive domestic dogs than any other wildlife and I wouldn't hesitate to put somebody's dog down if it threatened me or my loved ones.
All that being said it would be really handy to have a revolver on my hip and not have to haul around a heavy long gun especially for all the backpacking I do along the bruce peninsula which has a high black bear population as well as rumors of big cats. I would mind lugging the couple of pounds for the peace of mind I currently carry a fixed blade full tang bowie knife to fill that role might be too much for some people but I think it sends the right message to anyone who would think about trying something out in the woods

Ian, as someone who has known you for many years, I could not be more proud of you for speaking out for the Canadian Charter of RIGHTS and the absence of personal defense rights in Canadian Criminal Law 🙏
As a lifelong Canadian, I want a second amendment like america, I'd feel safer, Don't feel safe with trudeaus madness
I'm on the fence about it. As a Canadian myself I have seen shit in my life that would make your head spin. We are polite superficially, but Canadians are BELLIGERENT. Lots & lots of proudly antisocial Canadians. Have a Canadian 2A could turn into a bloodbath.
In America it's a bit different, yes they have their problems but the 2A has been there for so long that everybody's used to it by now. It probably wouldn't work if it had never been there and they tried it today--too much bloodshed.
open and concealed carry needed for RPAL holders
I'd say open carry for ARs, MP5/SMG (semi autos), big barrel revolvers, other rifles except snipers and concealed for full-sized to sub compact handguns
Absolutely
With advanced training in firearms handling and legal training like that of police officers, along with enhanced background checks, I think the public should have that option available to them. Selling the idea to a society like Canada, who've been indoctrinated to believe that the government will keep you safe, if only you give up enough of your freedom, it's an up-hill battle.

When my friend Dennis Strongquill was murdered in his RCMP patrol car he was still unable to protect himself and died because he was a police officer and Mike Templeton was shot in the face by criminals on the highway he stopped . and these criminals could have killed many people but they were shot by police in Saskatchewan and the one girl who was with them is already on the street terry lin bell is her name . when the justice system fails and innocent people who defend themselves are turned into criminals it shows our government cares nothing for the peoples safety as police can not always protect themselves and shows the contempt they truly have for the safety of the people of Canada . When traitors are still in our government and no action is taken to arrest them then we are doomed by the corruption of this clearly compromised government who are surrounded by people with guns to protect them but not the people.

@TheCrusades1099 thank you.
The fact that a professional hunting guide can get an ATC for self protection in the wilderness, however myself as a seasonal solo hunter cannot is a double standard. I cannot have my rifle at the ready at all times when I’m out there. It’s not just the hunt, it’s the hiking, camp set up and duties, meat processing, firewood collection, going to the bathroom… name it. And as a seasonal hunter, I am more susceptible to the dangers of wildlife with new territory, limited local animal awareness preparation, etc. most professionals work the same territory, at the same camps, which are maintained for significant periods thus discouraging animal encounters.
Well said
Well said i understand your comment.. its not just as your hunting it should be at all times. Like you mentioned taking a shit in outhouse and somthing happens.. theres no time to wipe your ass and run to the cabin.. i fully understand the way you may think
Meat processing in grizzly country it’s a huge concern
@@broomfieldsdual-sport on the north arm of Stuart Lake, a man that looked after a lodge was eaten by a bear exiting the outhouse. I remember this well. My dad was a helicopter pilot, and tradition is pilots going over camps check in. After 4 days of pilots flying over the camp and nobody coming out to wave, they went in and his half eaten body was found.
Politicians and bureaucrats have no idea.
How do I support the fight for Self-Defense Rights in Canada?
A helpful first step is to learn more about self-defense rights as they currently exist, and understand when and how they apply. Sharing this podcast is a great way to start conversations and build awareness. The more voices that speak up, ask thoughtful questions, and offer positive solutions, the more we can influence public perception and support constructive change.
Join groups that advocate for it like the CCFR.
@@brandonl4762 it’s a God given right. No law can obstruct it.
@@afar9587 Somebody should tell the Supreme Court that.
@@Silvercorecafirst step is to have a “proper” government redefine what constitutes a threat to life and property including rewriting the firearms act. I have a plan but no one to hear it.
Pierre Elliot Trudeau had a non-expiry permit specifically to carry a handgun concealed.
Through a FOIA application a couple of years back with results posted to a firearms owner forum it showed 2 concealed carry permits issued in Canada. The FOIA requester stated Bill Blair was one of them but I don’t know how it was discovered. If I had to guess, the Sgt at Arms in parliament was the other.

Open carry is a no no for me. Conceal is better. Nobody needs to see the gun. I don’t want to see it in public. Let it be hidden and out of sight because that’s going to lead to people trying to grab it
@@afar9587 there are many great ways to conceal carry
That's the wrong attitude. They work for us and Trudy has proven that the government will act against the people. We have the right to protect ourselves and we will force that upon any tyrannical government.

45:40 why not ask for the opposite letter from the chief of police? ask them to sign "police will protect you in case of [whatever] and you do not need ATC". And if they fail to protect, then you can come after them with everything you've got and sue them into the ground.
@@jimc9516 don’t work if ya dead lol. Just don’t ask. Do what you need to do. No pos politicians can say no to you
@@jimc9516 was think the same but ain't gonna happen
The police have an obligation to investigate crime _after_ it occurs. They do not have an obligation to protect you (mostly because this is, as you point out, literally impossible). This has been ruled on numerous times by the courts both in Canada and America.
@@J.DeLaPoer that would sound great in court:
Lawyer: did you get a request for ATC from the victim?
Witness: yes
Lawyer: did you approve it?
Witness: no
Lawyer: did the victim indicate they need it to protect their life?
Witness: yes
Lawyer: and you still denied the request?
Witness: yes
@@jimc9516 About 15 years ago I actually did apply for an ATC for protection of life (non-wilderness). Long story. Point is, *the ATC application form requires you to list at least 3 documented attempts on your life plus a signed admission from local police that they are unable to provide adequate protection for you.* Even if you can prove the former, no police department out there will ever give you the latter. It's a PR nightmare for them, even despite being true in general. Unless you're an "elite" with special privilege levels of course... EDIT: And the application also costs $97, which is non-refundable when you're denied.
As of 2013, according to FOIA request, there were only something like 23 (non-wilderness) ATCs current in the country, and only 1 of those belonged to a regular private citizen. All the rest were for politicians and other current/former government agents, and cops. The system is broken to the point of being patently useless, and _intentionally_ so. I'm grateful I no longer live in Canada.
Greatest podcast I have ever listened to, on this topic. Nicely done. I’ve shared it with a few buddies who have military & policing backgrounds. Well done!!!! 👍🏻
Thank you! It helps a great deal!
Someone asked me what I would do if someone was breaking into your house at night and was a threat to your family. I would call 811. They said you mean 911 and I said I'm going to need to know where I can safely dig a hole in my back yard.

Unbelievable, thank you for the best conversation on self defense in canada I've heard.
2 points tho, self defence is expense in court we need to change the laws on that.
Also, it's illegal to carry something for the purpose of self defence in canada, we need to change those laws too.
Thank you, and great points!
Agree with both points
Change the definition of what constitutes a threat, with that the reasonable force edict changes. There more changes within the FA that are needed.
One of the best conversations on the subject that ive heard to date. Canada needs to revamp the firearms act and allow people to properly protect themselves without the threat of jail time for saving yourself or your family.

I came across this video unintentionally this morning. ❤ I'm thoroughly enjoying listening to this informative conversation. There are some great questions being asked here. The RCMP officer speaking on here (Ian) has a very commendable approach and is very level-headed not only in his responses but clearly in his actions too.
Thank you very much for sharing this video.
I want my Canada back the way it was before. Great guest. I really appreciate this podcast I don't get into situations but if I get a surprise attack on me, I am afraid to defend myself because I am afraid to lose my privilege to my firearms even though I am a responsible firearm owner.
Criminals carry weapons on them all the time and they walk among us but good citizens, ex police or military guys not allowed I don't understand it. If we could carry tools on ourselves I am pretty sure criminals would think twice before they use their weapons. I am a tough guy but I don't go outside after dark anymore It's crazy out there Work and home. That's it.
you have to deport 10 million people to make Canada how it was before
Sock boy Turdo said you are not allowed to shoot someone who has broken into your home and is trying to harm you and your family. He said in that instance killing someone is not necessary. Dont believe me look it up he said it.
He is the epitome of killing with "kindness", he makes me sick.
One of a long list of completely brain dead stupid statements he's made.
Mr. Sim, thank you for your service and support of this topic

Here thanks to CCFR. Subbed 👍
Trekker here: You nailed it. Couldn't have said it better myself.
This was a great podcast; Ian Sim was great to listen to. When I saw the news coverage regarding 4 people seriously injured in the targeted White Rock shooting, where criminals used assault rifles, it made me think how citizens are severely outgunned in a self-defense scenario.
the fact someone can break into my home steal me shit and i legally can be sued for intervening is ridiculous… canada has a lot of issues with justice system etc.
Protect yourself and tell no one.
Unlike the USA who has "shall not be infringed", Canada has the notwithstanding clause, which makes our charter of rights a charter of permissions on whatever whim of the Government.
That was a heck of a good podcast episode
@@kevinbustard3270 Thank you.
We need a constitution that clearly states that if public servants/ government do not work to uphold it they are disqualified and illegitimate, what else is government for?
The only rights you have, are the one you know about....and are willing to enforce. This is a sad state of affairs that Canadians have landed in and we are happy to hear this discussion. Thank you for the conversation!
“Except in accordance with the principles of fundamental Justice”
And there’s the rub. Who determines the definition of that sentence and those principles?
Why do you think the first section is about the government being able to curtail all of the rights following after it? And why is there section 33?
The problem with self defence and the charter, I think, is that the charter is to “protect” us from the state. (Although covid showed us different)
And self defence from violence and criminals isn’t seen as protection from the state.
The state says x, y, and z are illegal and if a private citizen is doing any of those to you don’t worry about it, just call us and we’ll protect you, you are not competent or trustworthy enough to protect yourself.
I think it's worse than that, at this point. The government has a vested interest in maintaining a monopoly on the effective use of force. They don't care if you live or die, as long as they maintain complete control over the limits of your response to their actions.
This is an amazing interview, great job!
I love Silvercore !!!
I got grizzlies and wolves that walk around my home all the time.. but i can't carry a pocket knife for self defense without prosecution if caught by law enforcement? Canada needs to wake up. Not woke up, wake up. Criminals don't care about laws, they discuss consequences and adjust the price of drugs or weapons accordingly. If your a law abiding citizen in Canada. You should be able to carry reasonable protection. Especially if you live out in the boonies like i do. This is ridiculous. I was told to dial 911 if someone tries to take my life with violence growing up...🤦♂️
Here's how our idiotic law works. You're not allowed to carry a knife for the purpose of self defense. You can however, use the knife you carry to use as a tool to defend yourself, just as long as that's not the reason you had it. Same with guns and home defense. Can't buy a gun for the purpose of defending yourself, but if you happen to be forced to use your shotgun you use for target shooting to defend yourself, that can be ok. Biggest thing if you're forced into that situation is do not talk to the cops until you have a lawyer. If you're going to jail because you legitimately defended yourself, chances are it's because you talked to the cops before you consulted a lawyer.
@@RodneyR1986 Was that gun properly stored in a safe? Was it locked with a trigger lock? Was the ammo in a separate locked container far from the gun safe? If someone breaks in and wants to do you harm, you're dead. It takes time to unlock a safe, to retrieved the locked (rifle/shotgun), to go to the other secure location and unlock the ammo storage, take the time to find the right ammo, load the gun then save yourself. Unfortunately while doing this you have to be on the phone with 9/11 who will tell you, as you are being stabbed, raped or beaten, then you should comply, maybe give them your car keys and hope you don't get sued if the perp trips on your rug.
31:20 Unfortunately, very few officers have that mindset. They would prefer people die rather to use the very same tools the officers have. Every last person who has defended their own lives has had to face the crown and a judge not to mention an enormous financial burden for legal representation. Most officers are more than willing to press charges on the victim and that I blame on the recruitment process as well as those calling the shots.
Just ask Ian Thompson how that went. Ask Gerald Stanley how that went.
I am not personally interested in concealed carry per say, but because I live out in rural Alberta, where police response would be in excess of 30 minutes, I am more interested in personal self defense rules against home invasion.
I beg to differ armoured guards carry hand guns to protect money! not life!
You are welcome to differ in your opinion. As someone who has been trained as and worked as an armed guard, trained as and worked as an armed guard firearms and use of force instructor, created and delivered courses and syllabus’s for armed guard firearms and use of force student and instructor programs both provincially and federally and provided expert testimony for both crown and defence counsel on use of force and weapons related matters I disagree. Armed guards carry firearms for protection of their life or the life of a third party in the event of imminent grievous bodily harm or death. They aren’t armed to protect money.
@@Silvercoreca Ok Fine if there was no money or valuables to protect you wouldn't be allowed to have the gun! I know the gov likes to confuse the issue with bs but this fact remains!
Being responsible for movement of securities or money puts your life @ risk, hence the need for self protection. It should be the same for those working in remote locations. Recently a 66 yr old tradesman in rural Saskatchewan was held at gunpoint had his truck keys taken. Was moved into a building and shot. Tough old bastard walked a mile for help and is still alive.
@@thomasjeffersoncry They aren’t allowed to have guns so they can protect cash and jewelry. They get to have them because openly transporting and controlling hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars of negotiable goods puts them at higher risk of a violent encounter from criminals seeking to commit armed robbery.
Lots of things could be said, to me the bottom line is, right to carry arms for personal saftey, if the politician cqn use guns for their own personal saftey, so should the citizen. Of course a background, and saftey course.
The charter can be suspended at any time can it not?
I served the CAF and black badge qualification and pal instructor and a former small arms instructor in the military and I would gladly teach for free weapons handling and would give free PAL courses if we had a self defence rights
@@sansremoro3724 Good to hear from an instructor….
You know the requirements for blackbadge and maintaining that!
I shoot as a competitor, IPSC, 3 Gun and long range. Have trained both in Canada and the US.
Home defence is a must based on criteria but I see and know many that have qualified for their blackbadges that don’t continue to meet the requirements to hold that ability.
You know being an instructor the expectation of being a blackbadge holder, and if these people don’t maintain the requirements what will the regular citizens be like with the ability to CCW…..WE KNOW
I’ve heard every excuse from these people and I for one don’t want to be in someone’s background who rarely shoots when that person decides to cowboy a road rage incident or be a hero in a mall parking lot.
What’s the next scenario when my children or grandchildren get hit sitting in the vehicle 10 feet away…..as a guy who’s already trained and training 3 to 4 times a week, what’s my call at that point??
Pandora’s Box people………

As Ian Runkle said. If something is beef style. It’s not beef! Lol
With the high rate of major crimes & the fact that most criminals are out on a promise to appear & a Piece Bond even before most police officers are finished their shift.
We really need to have castle law for forced entry in our homes from unwanted criminals.
I live in a big city & deal with unstable people, gang members and thugs. No I'm not a cop just a security guard of 26yrs.
I'm about done with this big city crime. I retire in a few years and I'm looking to move to the Bush away from all people.
yes getting food & gas will be hard to get if I do this, but I'm done with these lawless people and want to get away.
As a victim twice of gun violence, I 100% agree with the right of Self Defense for all Canadian citizen. Legally vetted, licensed and trained individuals should be allowed to apply for the Authorization to Carry (ATC) a firearm in Canada.
Currently in Canada it is illegal to “be prepared” to protect your own life and those you are in charge of.

People need to hear this and think about how it affects them, and vote accordingly

Property rights? What property rights? Trudeau 1.0 left all mention of property rights out of the Charter. It wasn't an oversight.
@@loganwhite3904 No political party in Canada would get elected by promoting self-defence rights before an election. Sheep fear sheep dogs just as much as they fear the wolves, because they're too stupid to know the differnce.
@@loganwhite3904while I agree, that may be a political strategy to avoid being deemed "extreme" or otherwise evoking a negative emotion from potential voters. Not every conservative, whether a politician or civilian, is pro gun or pro carry.
Our charter is too weak imo. The thing is that if you read it, our rights can be taken away in certain circumstances, such as in an " emergency ". It's more like a charter of privilidges when the powers that be feel like we deserve them.
How much time gets wasted when the cops do get there but then have to acquire knowledge of the situation and then make a plan, then to execute that plan?
Why can't bow hunters defend themselves from cougars and bears.
Well, you can, but if it's a bear then it better be a bow with a 3-meter draw length and a 2,000-pound draw weight :)
Especially if I’m taking my child with me who is of hunting age (12+) into provincial Forest with only bow, so they can learn, but cannot bring a shotgun for protection. My obligation to protect my children is my utmost priority and concern, but the DNR officer says just carry bear spray. (Which we do).
But if you end up having to field dress and pack out a quartered animal in the dark, in the forest, Leaving a massive BLOOD scent and all you have is a bow you are in a very vulnerable position.

@SvenTSchixe Thank you for the feedback!
YUPP! IT’s all about the consequences! LIFE or DEATH! PROTECT YOUR FAMILY / NEIGHBOURS !
6:30 gonna be honest. as someone who spends a lot of time involved in politics... i don't know what the charter says because its not worth a damn. everything after section 1 of the charter is entirely irrelevant because of what section 1 says. We don't have rights in canada. we have privileges subject to the governments whims. so why give a damn about the lies they put on paper to trick us into thinking we have some kind of protection against their abuse.
@tyler111762 Very well said tyler. Over the years they made everything a privilege. From having a Driver's Licence to operating a Snowmobile to owning a Firearm. And they make you pay dearly for taking advantage of those privileges.
The notwithstanding clause erases any and all rights in Canada. It creates unlimited government power, and we know what ultimate power does.
I'm sorry, but something cannot be considered a right if the government can take it away with the stroke of a pen. It's a privilege.
What a excellect show ...
How would these retired officers in Canada be insured? In the US I believe you can purchase liability insurance? I’m not sure?
The most important right is freedom of speech. I’ll use that to get back all the rest
With the Not Withstanding clause we do not have rights. We have a set of revokable privileges.
Civilian Carry is the best option pertaining to the Death Gap
up to 1998 in Canada you could get a wilderness carry via your work requesting on your behalf, and the aeronautics act said you were supposed to take a firearm with you at all times for survival in operating an aircraft in sparce settled areas. Then the socialist govt there stopped it.
It is a horrible feeling when criminals come to your door armed and want to hurt you or your family and you have nothing to protect yourself and your family.
I would love the right to conceal carry!
Good podcast. Our actual self-defense laws as outlined by S. 34 of the criminal code are very robust. We have no "duty to retreat" in Canada and I disagree with complicating S. 34 with whatever the Brinks/Armoured Car ATM guys are doing. That said, I believe there are two quick options to allow for conceal carry in Canada. First, the province could technically have "reserve constables" who are volunteers and have to pay for their own training (with some sponsored training from the province). These volunteers would have opportunities for additional courses so that they can volunteer with law enforcement and would be on-call for responding to fire and flood disasters. There are a few problems with this plan due to the medical & fitness requirement to be a 'reserve constable' but it could be brushed away by using 'inclusivity'. Second, as you mentioned, the province could just become more liberal in handing out ATC licenses. Both ideas come with complications, but it's the two routes I see as "win/win" situations for the province (i.e. Alberta) and the individual. I'd suggest for Ian Sim to check out a dude named "John Locke" who wrote "Two Treatise of Government" which was very influential on the American Constitution. Locke's idea's about "natural laws," the "state of nature" and the right to life and liberty was fanatical but also logical. I'm sure Ian's already heard of him, but I figured I'd throw this out there anyways. Thanks for the podcast and I'm glad to see the channel doing so well!
There needs to be a voluntary course for rpal holders to gain a civilian ATC and have a certain number be activated on rotation daily by location. It’s time to let Canadians who wish to, at least attempt to defend themselves and their communities. It’s getting to the point now thanks to various political decisions, that Canadians need to take a new approach to their relationships with firearms.
Why is Safety degrading worldwide....? We used to have a "High Trust" society....We have a great culture in Canada and this is being degraded to our own detriment. "Strong and Free"
Deport the problems and trust will rebuild...
Strong and free? Canada is a developing nation, we were never strong and free. A high-trust society is very fragile, trusting strangers is naive and they will abuse it every chance they get. People are fucked.
LLDA sounds like a solid start and 100% agree that cops need to get out of their cars and patrol on foot, it's way better community policing.
We don't have rights in Canada, we have the responsibility to pay taxes 😂
Six years in the Canadian military in the infantry. The safest I ever felt was in the middle east with a pistol on my hip. When you are properly trained and have educated yourself in a subject, you feel empowered.

Self defense by any means necessary is a god givin right is a right. Its one of two natural reaction of humans. Fight or flight
What we need is an insider saying legal gun owners aren't criminals until the RCMP makes you one.
The problem for leting retired police and off shift peace officers is that those people still are subject and owned by the state. Were talking about freedom people. Not creating a standing army. If you make some more privlaged than others for protection of their or their loved ones life then its is still but a privilege and not a right. We are not seen as euall value as a human being if you have anything that tells someone who hasn't commented violent crimes that this person can carry and this person can't.
someone said police cant respond to a gu N call unless two respond, so at night in rural areas its a long time when they pair up to save you. we read about a guy in Calgary Alberta who had the carry permit, and used it one time while at a motor cycle shop being held up. . was gunned down one day at a stop light . They said the Federal police firearms are a problem as they are prohibited status and no new prohibited statuses will be issued.
Injections and madking?
Willing or unwilling?
Conscious or unconscious?
For the love of God how can i help you with this? We have lost our minds in Canada.
Different situation maybe different topic for conversation live in rural farming community along Maine USA border been big changes in our once safe never locked doors or took keys out of anything farming neighborhoods today we have youth and people from here and not around here our population has grown since covid and even before from all across the Midwest and the country really lots of meth and drug problems theft is major problem on farms not everything can be locked up but we are now faced with being faced with being locked up ourselves when police are called and you've stopped someone or God forbid brought a weapon out to even warn them your defending yourself and you're property just the threat won't be the criminal caught in the act with handcuffs on it will be you for defending or uttering threats when they roll in lights blazing hour later
Police carrying off shift s o they can violate peoples Rights on and Off duty, fucking 24/7 Police state. Thats one of the very negatives that would cuase im pretty sure. Just let all law abiding competent people carry what they need.
1:16:26 what do you mean you don’t know if it is “sound policy”? It literally is about sound 🔊😂😅.
You’re welcome (to all you dads!)
Armoured car guards are allowed to carry to protect money. Nobody is allowed to protect themselves in Canada with a firearm and if you so happen to use a firearm to protect yourself or family the police charge you with as many charges as they can and you have to spend thousands of dollars to defend yourself and hope you did it right so a judge or jury will come to the conclusion you had no choice, your firearm was locked up legally and you used it properly as far as law will be interpreted. This country has really changed in the last 10 yrs and it’s getting worse. We need the laws changed to protect ourselves from being locked up.
@@craigsmith450 FYI, armoured car guards are issued ATC’s only for the protection of life, not money.
@@Silvercorecain regards to the armoured car guard, wouldn’t the two go hand in hand? I mean, I’m pretty sure the only reason one would “mess” with said individual would be for the money no? In the case of an armoured car robbery, is the protocol to simply give up the cash?
@@andrewdominowski4631 well, yes and no. It’s kinda tricky because how would you attempt to get money from an armed guard? Ask nicely? Or threaten them which could end pretty badly for you because now they feel like their lives are in danger.
They can’t protect the money, only themselves.
@@craigsmith450 they get robbed all the time. They just give the money up. It’s not reported because gov doesn’t allow it
@@T_Amphetamine ya that’s what I was thinking. Honestly not looking for an argument but rather clarity. Hope I’m not coming off as argumentative as that’s in no way my intention. I kinda feel like this boils down to some kinda weird semantics dealyo. Like with knife laws. A dude carrying a knife for self defence = major no no. Exact same knife but for the purpose of opening packs of skittles… good to go. What a head scratcher.
Having a atc program setup in Canada would not be hard. Even if it's a multi week certification course and a yearly qualifier would be completely reasonable. Not to poke fun but as a sport shooter who has observed officer training i think they could also benefit from more routine training. Not everyone is a competent shooter and that's fine but for those that are I see nothing wrong with qualified carriers.
Secondly I'm very happy i found this podcast and appreciate what it brings to the conversation, both of you brought up great points and I couldn't agree more! And north America as a whole could use alot more common sense.
