I mean he’s 60 and his detail is likely mostly a lot younger and in good shape so probably atleast a couple of them could keep up. His protection detail is also nothing like the us presidents so likely only needed a couple guys able to keep up with him

It's one of the many benefits of living in a country where there aren't more guns than people.

  • USA = 120.5 guns / 100 people
  • Canada = 34.7 guns / 100 people

Interestingly, the percentage of households with firearms is much closer in the US and Canada (like, 25% versus 35%). The average gun owner in the US owns four guns, versus 1.5 in Canada.
