If you're a licensed gun owner and own the gun legally demand a jury trial. The Crown will tell you that you can't have one but you can. They have no hope of empanelling a jury that will convict someone for returning fire while they are under fire as long as they are licensed and own the gun legally.

Everything you say is true but you dismissed my point in your first sentence. A Canadian jury will not convict you for returning fire when you are under fire. The Crown will tell you that you can't have a jury but you can and should demand one.

Having said that, returning fire would be my last choice. My first choice would be to not be under fire in the first place. If you come to my house and start shooting at and are not gone in how long it takes me to retrieve and load my gun while calling 911 you are going to receive effective return fire and you are going to have a bad day.
