    Self Defence in Canada (split from Gun Control 2.0)

    Not a legal expert, but " in the heat of the moment " and " temporary insanity " come to mind. On the other hand, after enough time had passed to cool down a bit, and plotting cold-blooded revenge, perhaps the courts would take a less sympathetic view? < dunno emoji
