I'd be more concerned if there was a McDonalds close by.

Probably be the safest daycare place in the entire country thanks to the guys next door. It'd be like having a place right next to a police station. Even the dumbest of criminals wouldn't dare to try anything with all the firepower too close by.

Seems to me I've heard of the odd gunstore or two being robbed.

I once thought that too and in some places of Toronto, it doesn't matter where the stations are. The most recent mass shooting was a block from a new police station.

There's one division in Toronto, #41 that has numerous shootings and murders at the building right beside it.

If I had my druthers I'd want the daycare next to a bar-b-cue.

Nothings ever guaranteed in life but just living next door to a big and potentially dangerous dog has it's benefits. Dude I knew a few years back used to work at an electrical repair place in a commercial strip-mall. They got robbed about a dozen times over a three-year period. Then a motorbike repair shop that was run by a "club" opened up next door to them. Over the next few weeks the break-and-enters in the entire area came to a screeching halt because none of the robbers wanted to risk offending the bikers. Dude's boss started sending over a half-dozen flats of beer every month to the bikers as a thank-you just for making the place safer for his business.

Funny how effective things like that can be to deter crime. I knew someone who lived in an area where auto break-ins were very common (apartments with unsecured underground parking). His truck was one of the only vehicles that was never tampered with at all in his building as he kept a few empty shotgun ammo casings here and there on the dashboard and in view on the floor. He always had tools & car stuff in the back and a mondo stereo/speaker system that were never touched!

Some people are worried that someone is going to buy a rifle, and then walk over to the daycare and open fire. In the history of all gun violence in Canada, how often has someone just purchased a firearm and then walked to an adjacent business and opened fire?

Fixed, because I'm sure some gang-banging POS has picked up a gun shortly before going out to "bust a cap" at someone.

Yes, I suppose I could have stipulated purchased at a retail location.

"My personal fear would be that someone would come in after purchasing a firearm and open fire on the kids," she said. "[It could be] someone that's not completely there."

My fear is that this person might one day have children of her own.

I guess someone might buy a new gun and deside to shoot the kids in the daycare. Then again someone might buy a new car and deside to go to a school and wait for school to end and run over kids crossing the street.

Never happen. Cars are registered.

Not necessarily related to the thread topic, but more about gun ownership and CCW laws: how about we perform a study? Why not choose a jurisdiction and try CCWs for tasers? We could even force people to carry them. Let's test the CCW logic by arming citizenry with non-lethal incapacitating weapons and see what happens. If the CCW advocates are right, we should see crime disappear. If not, we should see a lot of people suing for wrongful tasering.
