Hammer Screw
Is it illegal to carry around a hammer or screw driver in Canada?

I ask because I walk my dog late at night in a dangerous part of the city where I live and have encountered hoodlums every once in a while.

This would just be a last resort form of protection if anything happened to threaten me.

I think a more sensible strategy would be not not walk your dog late at night in an area you know is dangerous.

If you do carry a screwdriver or hammer with you, and you encounter a ‘hoodlum’ and feel the need to draw your weapon, you are taking a big chance that he isn’t going to either beat the crap out of you, or draw his own weapon which might be a gun or a knife.

Generally speaking a ‘hoodlum’ is not going to be especially fearful of someone like you walking a little dog and pulling out a screwdriver on them. They are probably quite used to violence if they are accustomed to spending long periods of time hanging out in dangerous areas at night.

The best thing that would happen should such an altercation take place is you pull out your hammer, and they run away. The only problem is when they lie in wait for you a few days later with their friends, they come armed and seriously injure you.
