Application / Regulation advice home defense and Verney-Carron Flash-Ball

Post image

i was wondering with the violence increasing (i am in montreal, people break in houses is increasing) why Verney-Carron Flash-Ball is not allowed?

I check the law and I saw the joules etc but can we decrease the PSI of it? I know they're mostly associated with law enforcement in some countries.

just wondering if a company had release a news for an equivalent.

Edit: for **self-defense**

I think the phrase “home defense” is your answer. Firearms on this country are not for home defense.

Exactly nothing firearm related is allowed for “home defence” say that on your PAL and see if you get a license

You are legally allowed to use firearms to defend your home if you believe your life is imminent danger, multiple people have in the past and were not charged or had the charges dropped after an investigation was conducted.

Edit: 100 different people seem to think I don’t understand this, so I’ll say it, yes, you are not allowed to buy firearms for the specific purpose of self defence.

But you can’t list that as a reason to get your PAL/RPAL…
