#1 I am sure the heroic journalist would have rushed out into the firefight and disarmed the assailant before anyone got hurt.

#2 Sounds like they did everything right.

#3 Reads like everything was done right under the circumstances. Canada controls firearms tightly. Long guns are legal for hunting but pistols are restricted to law enforcement.

#4 I was flying my plane into Canada 20 years ago and landed at Beaver Creek on the Alcan border in the Yukon Territory. Had a shotgun in the back for survival weapon. The customs officer was a scotsman chap. The first thing that he asked was whether I had any pistols in my plane. I mentioned that I just had a shotgun, and left my pistol in Fairbanks.

So he asks me then what the Canadian punishment was for armed robbery. I told him I didn't know. He said 10 years. Then he said if the crime was committed with a pistol they tack on another 2 years for pistol time.

So I told him that's why I didn't bring a pistol. He never went over to our plane, never checked the dog's health papers. Just gave us our passports back and away we went.

#5 Maybe the Canadians should of let the poor soldiers outside have bullets in their weapons?
