An Entertainment TV show from Canada that illustrates the benefit of people having a gun

Television show bias against guns is never-ending. It is exceedingly rare to see an entertainment television show with a civilian successfully using a gun defensively. Instead, something always seems to go wrong when guns are used defensively (from being fatally shot by the criminal without stopping the crime to getting in the way of police to continually having the gun stolen and used in a crime to it being used in an accidental shooting). Here is a surprising discussion from Canada’s CBC, though it is from 2014. Given Canada’s current push for gun bans, we are skeptical that the government TV network would have a similar discussion. In 2014, the Conservative Party’s Stephen Harper was the prime minister. This episode shows two people whose plane has been forced to land because of engine problems having to deal with an aggressive bear and wishing they had a gun for protection.

If you watch entertainment television these days, you would never know that people use guns defensively some 2 million times a year. If you want some examples of people successfully using guns to stop crimes, here are some examples. Other examples of people using guns to stop mass public shootings are available here.
