I've lived here for nearly 50 years, a few blocks from one of the highest crime areas in Canada, and I've never once been "called upon" to defend my life. I've never met anybody who has. Either the danger is much greater in the U.S. or you guys are blowing it up out of all proportion.
I can't imagine that Stubblejump would have one of the highest crime areas in Canada. I went to high school not too far down the road in "the Hat" and we didn't even lock our doors normally. That was a few decades ago however.
However, I agree with you on the gun thing. I would contend that there are far more lives lost by the misuse of guns, than there are lives saved because someone was able to defend themselves with one.
