home defense and Verney-Carron Flash-Ball

[u/Careful_Passage969]

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

Nothing is allowed for the express purpose "home defense", "self defense", "personal protection", etc. whether they are firearms or not. You can certainly keep that bat next to your bed, or a knife in your pocket or any other force multiplier one can legally own including firearms and use them for those purposes if circumstances dictate. As soon as you admit that you own/carry/stage them around the house for those purposes you're inviting a much greater risk of legal entanglements, especially when it comes to guns.

The axe I keep behind my front door is only there to keep it handy if I need it to split some wood.

Exactly thank you for the elaboration

Also if that actually happened and you follow the laws or above for storage like I do you’re dead before you even get to said weapon… I can’t believe people keep asking these questions on here makes us look bad as a community
