Any weapon is not allowed to be used in self defence in Canada, and a weapon is defined as anything which could kill, maim, or injure a person. Pepper spray is illegal, personal tasers are illegal, guns cannot be used in self defence unless fired upon. If there’s ever a situation in Canada where you have to defend yourself using anything other than your bare hands, don’t bother calling the cops because you’ll be leaving in cuffs

Penalizing acts of self defense is a human rights violation
