| My door is unlocked during the day when I'm at home. But before I go to bed at night I lock the door. |

| when i lived in medicine hat we didn't worry about locking our doors too much, the population is about 50 000 and it wasn't a massive problem, however now, i live in downtown calgary with another girl and so we do keep our doors locked at all times just incase. But it is more common to have doors unlocked in canada, at least that's what i think. |

| I keep my door locked and my gun loaded. I live in the suburbs, but there's always going down on my street. Last time someone tried breaking in I broke his nose & jaw. It took 3 hours to get the stains out of my carpet! :whip: |

Not to mention the fact that my ENTIRE collection of trance is in the CD binders in my drawer and on my hard drive. Basically, everything I own (other than my car) that is important to me is in this room. :toocool: |

| I don't lock my doors generally, but I live in a small house in a small town. At night I do just for peace of mind. Otherwise they answer to my 13-ball in a sock.:wtf: |

Eh, I believe it has to do with population size of the town also. I know when I lived out in the country (low pop density) of the US, a lotta people never locked their doors, but now I am in a crime filled area with over a million people (high pop density) and you better believe people are locking their doors.

Low population density? I do believe Michael Moore was in Toronto when he went knocking on open doors. Toronto's population as of the 2001 census was 2 481 494. The population of the GTA was 4 682 897. That ain't no small town. |

I lock my doors at night to keep out the riffraff, which includes my own kids who think they can roam in at any hour of the night with their buds and dick around while I'm sleeping. They generally get the message and avoid awakening the friggin' ogre (me), and move on to another house to screw around in.
Works for me. Guns no problem, got several loaded.

| I usually leave the doors unlocked, but my parents are absolutly paranoid, so they end up getting locked anyway. |

that shows you how many times I watched it, zero.
for some reason I wish I did watch it so then I could rip into it proper. :). |

| Locking doors is overrated. I live in a basement suite and the only reason I lock mine at night is because my housemate is a creeping psycho. All other times my doors are proudly unlocked :p |

I recently saw Bowling for Columbine. In the movie (for those who haven't seen it) Michael Moore visits a Canadian neighborhood in some major city and checks the front door of homes (all of which are unlocked). His point was Canadians are more trusting and less paranoid about their safety.
My question are:
How many of you leave your doors unlocked?
Is this a common practice in Canada?
Are Canadians less paranoid about home security (compared to americans)?
I live in the USA and don’t but I'm in the country where there isn't any crime. |
The movie lied, it's as simple as that. I'd like to see him try the locks in Parkdale. Or alternatively, in a rural American town. |
