   In Vermont 7% of the population identified as non-white but represent 17% of the inmates in the “State” Prison system (Government Stats). Why were they in prison?
   I looked into it way back and was told by a criminal defense lawyer there that were two types of broad crimes that resulted in incarceration in VT. Domestic violence and drug/gang related crimes. Whites were overly represented in the domestic crime and non-whites made up the majority of the drug/gang crimes.

   My conclusion was if you had no spousal problems and were not involved in drugs or gangs, your chance of incarceration or even being a target was so low as to not be concerned. Those involved in crime knew that the average citizen who they were not involved with could be armed to the teeth and you were likely to be “shot” in the victim’s house. Novel concept for Canada!

   I was given a loaded 22 rifle and a box of shells by my landlord for garden critters or someone who made it through the front door. GMG wisely suggested we give it back, so I did. I kept a baseball bat by the door but never needed to use it. Never felt threatened.

   In Canada it is a disgrace to hear the local Police give these suggestions. It only encourages crime. An unarmed citizenry but armed criminal members lead to Canada’s high crime rate.

   In spite of this, still, even in America if you shoot someone IN SELF DEFENSE there will most likely be huge amounts of money spent on legal fees and it still might go to court – even if the law is in your favor, it could bankrupt you.
