Stabbing an intruder: Is it self-defence or assault?

You can get a gun permit in Canada, as long as you have a clean record, are not mentally unstable and you take a firearms safety course. There are also other requirements such as safe storage. I have included a link below.



According to the RCMP website, there are 1.9 million firearm licence holders in Canada

Interesting. But, unless I'm misinformed or missing something, Canada doesn't allow concealed carry. Which defeats the point for self defense.
 
Who knows....if the robber pleads "don't hurt me", how do you know if he is being genuine or not. He could possibly distract you and what worse, kill you in the process. Personally, I would hurt him as much as possible to protect my family and myself.
 
Like a cop once told me. If you catch someone in your house don't wing him. Kill him.
 
Robbers have got what is coming to them....occupational hazzard

How about Fathers that abuse their kids and wife?.

TORONTO - Zhou “Peter” Fang was sentenced to life imprisonment with no chance of parole for the minimum 10 years Tuesday for murdering his life-time tormentor and father Si “William” Cheng with a crossbow and a hammer in a crowded Toronto public library in 2010.

Justice John McMahon said the Ottawa man and his mother, Nora — who attended the sentencing but sprinted away from reporters without making any comment, suffered what senior forensic psychiatrist Dr. Hy Bloom described as “one of the worst and most chronic child- and spousal-abuse scenarios he has ever encountered.”

McMahon recited some of the litany of horrific abuse endured by the accused and his mom at the hands of the deceased, including threatening to cut off his penis for bed-wetting as a child.
Fang was neither criminally insane nor was he acting in self-defence when he committed the shocking crime that displayed some elements of planning and deliberation, McMahon said.

Fang was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder before, during and after what the judge described as a “brutal and savage” slaying of an unarmed Cheng, 52, as he stood at a bank of computers surrounded by innocent library patrons shortly after 4 p.m. on Dec. 2, 2010.

Fang drove from Ottawa to Toronto, using his own identification to rent a van, the day before the murder. He left the van running outside the library, ambushed his father, then slowly drove off but was apprehended without incident a short distance away, court heard.

Fang shot an arrow into his father’s heart, then sprayed him with an aerosol can and crushed his skull with a hammer in front of shocked onlookers.
Fang, now 26, pleaded guilty in July to second-degree murder and will be eligible for parole in December 2020.

He and his mother suffered graphic abuse and degradation too obscene and depraved for any Hollywood script, court heard.

Bloom described the Fangs’ abuse case as “one of the worst and most chronic child-and spousal-abuse scenarios he has ever encountered.”
But a psychiatric assessment indicated Zhou Fang’s “not predisposed to violence towards others” or criminal behaviour in general.

Fang was pinched on the cheek as a one-month-old and when his mom intervened, Cheng attacked her.
Later, he poured urine on his son, forced him to eat vomit and fish from the garbage, and choked the child in his sleep.

The father twisted the heads off Peter’s pet birds “as punishment for his son making a charitable donation at school,” said Fang’s lawyer, Mark Sandler.
He outlined 22 pages of “the most extreme, physical, emotional abuse” heaped upon both Fang and his mom.

Cheng threatened to kill or cut out his wife’s and son’s tongue — and he chopped off a rabbit’s tongue in their presence to emphasize the point — if they divulged their torturous lives, Sandler said.
Both of them were sexually abused by the twisted Cheng.

The wife was so viciously beaten by Cheng that she stopped working as a Toronto teacher.
The attack at the hands of her abusive husband left her temporarily blind, documents indicate.

“I stopped working because of the cruelty I suffered at the hands of William Cheng,” wrote Fang, 51. “I was forced into hiding by Cheng.”

I agree in a case where it's spontaneous and still high risk one must do what needs to be done to secure ones safety. In a case where the burglar has been subdued then one should wait for the proper authorities without inflicting further injury.


what's that officer? I should have warned him??
Hell he forgot to call and warn me that he would be breaking in and threatening me, in the middle of the night.
 
your honor.

I even have a warning sign on my doors: The owner wakes in a bad mood. Guests and intruders are received only between the hours of 10am and 11am. Violators will be killed and fed to the dogs or others as I see fit. :biggrin2:
 
"hello 911?

I just shot a varmint, outside my front door. Yes I know I live on the 14th floor of a high rise."

It's like if you call the cops to say you see someone sneaking around on your property. They reply they might send someone out in a couple hours. Then you call back to not bother sending the cops, but send an ambulance, because you shot the bastard. Watch how quickly the cops show up!

The Crown has withdrawn an aggravated assault charge against a man who was arrested last year after stabbing an intruder he confronted in his home.

Prosecutor David Fisher told Superior Court on Thursday that after reviewing the evidence, the Crown has concluded there is no reasonable prospect that Moses Mahilal, 29, would be convicted.
Mahilal faced up to 14 years in prison if he had been convicted.

While Mahilal was committed to stand trial after a preliminary hearing, the judge noted there were credibility issues with the Crown’s key witness, Kino Johnson.
Johnson, 33, has admitted he was unlawfully inside the upscale home, near Keele St. and Eglinton Ave. W., when the stabbing occurred just after 3 a.m. on July 31, 2011.
Johnson later pleaded guilty to break and enter, and two counts of possessing stolen property.

Mahilal and his girlfriend Sarah Walsh arrived to the house they share with her mother and confronted Johnson, who was upstairs hiding in her mother’s bedroom as she slept.
Mahilal said he was acting in self-defence and protecting his loved ones when he slashed Johnson three times with a large kitchen knife. Johnson testified Mahilal stabbed him as he tried to flee out a side door.

Johnson has had 14 criminal convictions since 2003, including five break-and-enters.

“It was his evidence the Crown attorney would rely on to support a conviction and if he was not believable then they didn’t have a basis to prosecute,” defence lawyer Daniel Brown said Thursday.
Mahilal said he was relieved the yearlong case is finally over but remains dismayed he was charged in the first place.
 
If I had to kill or maim someone breaking into my home, and endangering my family, I would.. and I'd do the time if I had to.

I know exactly where the zip ties are, and if I could subdue the intruder, I'd soon have him trussed up. I don't own a gun and could never get one legally, but if I lived in a high risk area, I might get one anyhow. Fortunately, i live in a quiet neighborhood in a quiet city.
