Canada has .22 LR in stock!
Canada! has guns!
Canada! has ammo!
I met a fellow Texan working at Wholesale Sports Outdoor Outfitters this afternoon in Edmonton, Alberta.
Not being familiar the the Gun Laws in Canada! I asked some questions.
(Disclaimer: The following is not verified legal information):
Handguns with barrels under 4″ are not allowed, but rifle barrels can be shorter than allowed in the U.S. as long as the overall weapon’s length is 26″. Short barreled rifles and shotguns are no special category as long as the items are commercially manufactured – do it yourself modifications are not approved.
AK-47 type rifles are bad. Mmm-kay.
AR rifles – and variants, are limited to using “pinned” 5-round capacity magazines only.
Handguns are sold to those with Firearm Training certification cards – but they are permitted only to be carried to a range that the bearer has (another permit) to attend. No handguns allowed in the wilderness, unless a special fur trapping exemption is granted. There is no handgun hunting allowed.
Silencers are not OK.
Savage Arms manufactured in Canada have to be sent to the U.S. for re-importation as foreign-sourced goods before sale in Canada.
All of the above may or may not be true – consult more appropriate legal authorities to confirm any and all information cited.
But this much is true:
Canada! has guns!
Canada! has ammo!
No matter what the political climate that may exist in any given Country, there will remain some things that need to be shot with a firearm.
