Err.. shake your own "frickin" head and read my post again. [img]smile.gif[/img] I was just giving information about the situation in my country. If you're from Canada, you have a different gun law than my country has, and therefore your example is useless to me since I wasn't talking about that.
It *is* true that since people normally don't own guns here, thieves usually do not consider the possibility and hence are not as prone to "disabling" the inhabitants of the house they burgle as a preventative measure. It's only logical, don't you think - most people don't own guns, therefore thieves know there's little chance of being shot when they break into someone's house, therefore they don't whack those house owners' brains out just to be on the safe side... and therefore house owners don't think they need guns.
Not saying it doesn't happen, just saying it happens a hell of a lot less often. Theft is still wrong, but at least there's a smaller chance people get killed when it happens here.
