There was a bit of a news story a while back that is, perhaps, an interesting commentary on this. Apparently, the state of Florida enacted some sort of law that allowed a person to use deadly force with a firearm to defend themselves. A lot of Canadians spend time in Florida in the winter (or did at a time contemporaneous to this law being enacted). Canadians are effectively not allowed to carry a firearm, so we tend to be unarmed when we travel. Many Canadians vacationing in Florida either drive their own cars, ore fly and rent a car. After the law allowing deadly force was enacted, the demographics of armed robberies in Florida suddenly showed a bias towards people showing either Canadian plates or a car with a rental sticker on it.
