For protection in case some crazy dumbass were to walk around with a gun in the neighborhood, I could feel safer at home. I can feel safer. Already have a PAL.

    I know body armour is restricted to people who need it in a professional capacity in my province.

    That said, if you know of someone wandering around with a gun, you call the cops to report on a known location and put as much distance as possible between you and that location, at speed or find cover and don’t make yourself a target. Thinking you can be the “good guy with a gun” statistically adds to the body count when cops show up.

    Body armour is not something that will protect everything form everything. A deranged shooter can disable you with one shot then casually aim the next.
