Fine, maybe I misinterpreted why people think it’s OK to shoot at people for knocking on their door or pulling into the wrong driveway. I still don’t want to go to places where people are likely to do that.
That’s not a realistic fear. Certainly not something worth putting out a public notice about an entire country of 300 million people.
It happened several times in the last year, I’d mark it as realistic.
“Several times” across a country with 300 million people? That’s nothing but paranoia. You’re significantly more likely to be struck by lightning.
Do you routinely walk into open expanses during electrical storms?
Do you routinely go around knocking on strangers doors? Or pulling into their driveways?
Both are safe activities in Canada!
Good news: it’s safe here, too!
Yeah, sometimes. I live in a country with strict gun laws though, so I’m less concerned about getting shot than I am about getting hit by lightening.
Kinda weird to be randomly knocking on doors, but to each their own. The country is also massive, just visit the nice states. Depending on where you live, youd be just as likely to be stabbed then shot at for knocking on a door.
Neither of those things should get you shot and/or killed what the fuck!
They won’t. That’s the point.
You can’t say they won’t when some dipshit shot at a kid for knocking on his door lol. They will.
