Adventure Sunday- this time on a Saturday!

[HarleyXJGuy]

This one is easy. Glock 17.

If you liked the other 9mm you will love this one. Light recoil easy trigger to get use to and a lot of bullets loaded at one time.

Awesome thanks. I've written it down so I don't forget.
I really did love the 9mm.

Would be handy to use the next time you go hunting them pesky watermelons. 

[Megan]

No can do!
Against our laws here in Canada
Maybe they'll let me bring a watermelon to the range? Also doubtful!

Wait what?

Hunting is against the law or owning a firearm?

[Megan]

I can't take a hand gun out to the woods and shoot it.

Hunting is totally legal when in season.

A hand gun is a restricted weapon. You can possess one safely (with a license) and use it for target shooting. You must also be a member of an approved club or range. And you can only use it for target shooting at an approved range.

[ducttapetech]

So you just can't go to the backyard and send a few rounds down range?

I guess it is just my American mentality towards firearms, but that is a huge bummer. 

[Megan]

Absolutely not.
Unless your backyard is truly in the middle of nowhere- and no one will know.
Still illegal.

Restricted firearms e.g Handguns - http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/fs-fd/restr-eng.htm

One of the nice things about archery is that I can take a target out into the woods and play around with my compound bow.
You can't do that with a firearm here.

Love archery.

Grew up in Michigan and been to Canada tons of times but did not know that on land that you own you could not safely shoot a pistol. Kind of crazy.

You could shoot a rifle on the same land if it is hunting season?

[Megan]

In my Province I believe it is 182 metres from a dwelling for a shotgun, 402 metres for a rifle.
800 metres from a school. This is for hunting only.

Technically to target shoot it must be at an approved range.

Yep handguns are practically pointless in Canada. You gotta lock it up unloaded, the only place you can take it to is the range, and everytime you take it outside the house you gotta get permission from the government.

Unless you are a criminal of course, then it's free for all. 

I'm always partial to revolvers and lever action rifles, there's just certain awesomeness to them.

Grant don't you have galaxy s5? Try the burst mode to capture muzzle flash.

Lol so no pistols unless you are going to the range. But it is fine to carry an AK-47 and say you are hunting till it is time to start your crime spree?

Wait you are telling me I have to lock up my pistol in my house unloaded?! Then when the criminal with the Shotgun or Pistol that he carries because obviously he don't care about the law breaks in. I say to him, one second please Mr. Criminal while I load and unlock my weapon. Inside my own house?!?!

I guess I have never felt that unsafe...
Canada does have a fair amount of guns. We have approximately 9.95 Million firearms which adds up to around 31 per 100 residents. The US has 89 per 100.
However in Canada, approximately only 1% of violent crimes are committed with a firearm. That seriously contrasts the US.

Maybe we feel a different level of safety and security?

And no. You can't possess an AK-47 unless you had one before the laws were changed and you are grandfathered in.
Our government specifically ensured that this particular firearm was banned- even though by barrel length and other specs it would be considered a non-restricted firearm.

Now that I have written all about how safe I feel- watch something terrible happen. I feel like I am tempting fate.

According to Dahlberg et al. (American Journal of Epidemiology 2004 Vol. 160-10) there are more homicides in households with firearms. Also in most cases the murderer knew the victim (co-living, friend etc.). Most commonly these homicides are the result of an altercation.
In home invasion homicides, its also more likely that you get killed if the invader is an acquaintance .


Interestingly, it appears that storage method and/or location play little to no role.

If somebody is breaking in and they are somebody you don't know and they don't know the lay out, it makes a big difference.
If it is somebody you know, and you let them, well you did not see it coming.

You must have a big house, to ensure you are never in the "keep-out" and the "secondary missile hazard" zone.

[Grant Lamontagne]

Yeah I have one and I thought about using it but I didn't.  I'll do better next time, I promise!

No pistols but I suppose a Claymore is ok in Canada.

Quinta da Regaleira, nice, but also has lots of Windows. Also how to you keep all the tourists from triggering your claymores?

This is very true.  The squirrel special ops division is pretty effective too.
