EDMONTON (CP) - A judge's decision to allow a suicidal alcoholic to keep guns for protection should not been seen as a call to arms, says Alberta's justice minister. Dave Hancock said Tuesday that Albertans do not need guns to protect themselves in their homes despite a provincial court judge's ruling released Monday. "We have good and safe communities and I hope people wouldn't take it as a call to go out and arm themselves to protect themselves in their homes," Hancock said. "That's not necessary in our society."
