1:16:02
- I see you're a Glock owner.
1:16:04
Where can I get a Glock
in Canada?

1:16:07
- Most gun stores'll sell 'em
to you

1:16:09
if you have the proper
permits and stuff.

1:16:11
- In fact, despite all
their tough gun laws,

1:16:13
take a look at what I,
1:16:15
a foreign citizen,
was able to do

1:16:18
at the local Canadian Wal-Mart.
1:16:20
Where's the ammunition at?
- Where's the ammunition?

1:16:23
- Yeah.
- Back here.

1:16:28
What kind are you looking for?
- You know, like, bullets.

1:16:33
That's right.
1:16:34
I could buy as much live
ammunition as I wanted to

1:16:37
in Canada.
You take American?

1:16:39
Do you lock your doors?
1:16:41
- No.
- Are you afraid of anything?

1:16:44
Sarnia, Canada
1:16:46
- Nah, not really, no.
- Do you lock your doors
at night?

1:16:49
- No.
- You don't lock your doors?

1:16:51
- No.
- Well, what do you...

1:16:53
Are you afraid of anything?
- Not really.

1:16:56
- Have you ever been broken into?
- Yes, I have. Yeah.

1:16:59
- What happened?
- They broke into my home.

1:17:02
I wasn't there. They broke in,
1:17:04
they stole some booze
and cigarettes and they left.

1:17:06
So I figure it must've been
some teenagers

1:17:09
out to have a little bit of fun.
That's all they took, though.

1:17:13
Just some booze
and some cigarettes.

1:17:15
- Have you ever been
a victim of crime?

1:17:17
- Yes.
- What kind of crime?

1:17:19
- Uh, I've had people walk in
while I've been sleeping

1:17:21
and vandalize my home
and steal from me.

1:17:24
- And that didn't want to make
you lock your doors at night?

1:17:27
- No. No.
1:17:30
- As an American with
three locks on his doors,

1:17:33
I found this all
a bit confusing.

1:17:35
Even here, in Toronto,
a city of millions,

1:17:37
people just didn't lock
their doors.

1:17:41
So you don't lock your doors but
we, Americans, do. Why is that?

1:17:43
- You must be afraid
of your neighbour.

1:17:46
- Do you ever leave your doors
unlocked at home?

1:17:48
- Yeah.
- Yeah, you do?

1:17:51
Where do you live?
- Right around here.

1:17:53
- Toronto?
- Around here.

1:17:54
- You leave your doors unlocked?
- Yeah.

1:17:56
- You'd think, as Americans,
1:17:58
that the lock is keeping people
out of your place.
