Including select fire, "pocket pistols" and regular cap mags.

Am I a law abiding Canadian citizen, with a right to personal security, or am I not?

Absolutely, you are right and you make a good point. Yes you have the right to personal security, what get's in the way of our personal security is a little law called "reasonable force" unfortunately the guy that makes the call on our personal security is a judge. If we make a big hole in some goof that just broke into our home the judge decides if we used reasonable force.
