Show Notes
In Okotoks, Alberta, a rancher is facing criminal charges for shooting at people who were allegedly stealing his equipment.
When - and to what extent - is a Canadian permitted to use a firearm to protect one's property, family and self? And why do people who use firearms to defend themselves frequently find themselves criminally accused of more serious criminal charges than their attackers?
Guest: Scott Newark, former Alberta Crown Attorney, executive officer of the Canadian Police association, security adviser to the governments of Canada and Ontario, adjunct professor at Simon Fraser University
