A couple of days ago, stats were released on (Canadian) border armed guards...can't recall the number of times they drew their weapons...but a total of 3 discharges were recorded. Two were called "loading/unloading" incidents, and one round was fired to kill an injured moose. Fortunately, no one was injured by the mishandling discharges.
None of the prosies have provided any Canadian stats supporing their position for the "need" so I remain unconvinced.
