That's the difference between Canada and the U.S. Not everyone has a gun here including me and don't want one either. I think to own and carry a gun like that 17 yr olds aren't responsible enough to have one but then again some 21 yr olds aren't either. One question I do have though did the cops THINK or KNOW he had a weapon in the SUV or did they plant it to cover their butts? Happens every day.
