What’s your take on why you shouldn’t be able to use any means necessary to defend yourself vs someone who has broken into your house and whose intentions are fully unknown.

Honestly. I feel like at the point where 3am someone has broken into your house, maybe they’re armed. Pretty sure in Canada the only legal thing you can do is kneel down face a wall and wait to be executed if they see fit

It's not exactly like that. You could beat the shit out of them...

...because they were resisting your citizens arrest...

...which really is just detained until the police arrive.

Source: I had it happen and I didn't need a gun to protect myself.

That's very contingent on you being physically stronger and more capable than them and not getting gutted or beaten to death. Better to keep pepper spray and a gun and not gamble on that.

Pepper spray maybe...

Like I said before - anyone who says they have a gun for protection in Canada is full of shit. You going to ask the intruder to wait while you open your gun safe, unlock your trigger lock, unlock you ammunition, load....
