The benefit is that people wouldn't have to wait minutes for police to deal with a home invasion, theft, assault, violent crime, whatever.

There's not much of a point in trying to win over legacy media outlets like the CBC. They can say what they want but as long as people have the ability to protect themselves and aren't dragged through the legal system for no good reason, that's fine by me.

Definitely not illegal. But I wouldn't want anyone to have their guns confiscated, pay six figures for court fees only to be found out they were in the right. That's getting into more complex things that I don't understand enough though.
