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.

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.

You might be, but you are not allowed to own or posses anything for the purpose of self defense. That nice big stick you picked up on a trail becomes a prohibited weapon if your intention is to protect yourself incase someone jumps you.

A stick is never a prohibited weapon.

We are allowed weapons within certain limitations such as no concealed weapons and complying with the firearms act and other regulations.

No, you are not allowed to carry anything for the intention of personal defense. If i am carrying something with the sole purpose to defend myself against another person then it is prohibited.
