I am afraid of retaliation, and feeling personally unarmed. Zero, it's not about street cred, the point of the coalition was so that the US isn't the brunt of the military force there. Obama took troops out of Iraq not just so he could put them back in. Obama asked Canada in August to join in air strikes- it's not about us trying to gain experience flying And yeah we have a large population of Muslims here, but that doesn't say we're protected?! ISIS is currently brainwashing men to join them, many have left the country. I am not naïve enough to think that the there are not men still residing in this country with that ideology. My point in all this, is to say, I am concerned and feeling vulnerable and I am not quite sure what to do.
When it comes down to it, owning a gun isn't going to help you in this sort of situation... In the end it comes down to trusting God to protect you, and trusting the government (and citizens!) to be on the watch for any terrorist activities. We've come a long way in knowing how to spot suspicious activity and head it off. I'm sure your government has a close watch on undercurrents with those who may be suspect in Canada.
