Yes. Not only would I use it to save myself and my family, but I would also use it to save you and other people who are unable to defend themselves.

Oh for the love of every god who is and ever was, lets drop the faux heroic rhetoric - you sound exactly like the idiots south of the border using the safety of others attacked by potential though unnamed bad guys[tm] to justify firearms strapped to their leg in Walmart parking lots.

Do you really believe that vigilante justice within Canadian society is a good thing?

Yes. I have stood up for people before and will do it again. People assaultIng others and commiting crimes, in that moment, think there will be no repercussions for doing so. If someone were to walk around with a full grow pet tiger, nobody would mess with them. Obviously we can't do that in civilized society. As civil as we may choose to be, there are those who live among us who don't respect civility, rules, or laws. When they attack, they are acting impulsively and not rationally. The only thing that is going to stop them in this state is a change to their current emotional state. Physical pain and/or fear are the quickest ways to do that. Since their parents failed to teach them why it is bad to break laws against people and property, I will take it upon myself to teach them a lesson, that hopefully lasts and serves as a constant reminder for them.

When YOU are assaulted by someone, you will wish that someone like me comes around.

The police wouldn't catch anyone and let the one on the ground go.

No, they were both apprehended and according to the article

An Edmonton police source told me the assailant Tews apprehended three blocks away was beaten “pretty bad.” And that officers on the scene thought there were enough inconsistencies in the stories of Tews and his parents to cast doubt on “whether they were telling the whole story.”

So, do you want a society with vigilante justice - a society where every citizen has the right to dispense justice with a baseball bat, if they see that as appropriate.

The only reason they were arrested was because they were beaten. They have to keep track of them so they testify against the people who actually work so the state can take their money.

As it is there is no justice, so some is better then none.

The dumb rhetoric is strong in this one........

Let me ask you the same question I asked above,

So, do you want a society with vigilante justice - a society where every citizen has the right to dispense justice with a baseball bat, if they see that as appropriate.
