CHAPTER

Guns and City Life: A Tense Contrast

This chapter transports listeners to 1870s Dodge City, where a classic Western standoff unfolds amidst a discussion on modern firearm laws. It juxtaposes the cultural differences in law enforcement approaches between Canada and the U.S., while delving into the implications of self-defense laws in high-crime urban environments. The narrative raises critical questions about the safety of public spaces and examines the fears some citizens face in regards to gun carrying and the realities of living in a city.
