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 come from a far away land and I find canadian laws to be ..... weirdly dishonest.

In Canada you have:

  1. Privilege to own a firearm for recreation and hunting.
  2. Right to defend yourself, reasonably using any means.

Canada, in a weird twist of a joke says, you can not own a gun to defend yourself BUT if you own a gun you can defend yourself using one and we will later see if that was reasonable.
