It happened several times in the last year, I’d mark it as realistic.
"Several times" across a country with 300 million people? That's nothing but paranoia. You're significantly more likely to be struck by lightning.
Do you routinely walk into open expanses during electrical storms?
Do you routinely go around knocking on strangers doors? Or pulling into their driveways?
Both are safe activities in Canada!
Yeah, sometimes. I live in a country with strict gun laws though, so I’m less concerned about getting shot than I am about getting hit by lightening.
Kinda weird to be randomly knocking on doors, but to each their own. The country is also massive, just visit the nice states. Depending on where you live, youd be just as likely to be stabbed then shot at for knocking on a door.
