    Words cannot describe how happy I am that my chance if getting shot over a minor traffic argument are 0. I can’t imagine what it’s like to live knowing that at any moment a lunatic with a gun can decide to kill you.

      In Canada you need to take a safety course, pass a written and hands on test, apply for the permit to acquire firearms which includes at least 28 day waiting period and checking with current and former partners that you are safe to have guns.

      If you get charged with crimes then the police know you have guns and may come and take them away.

      Pistols require a restricted permit and have further restrictions like having to travel only between home and the range, no stopping for shopping or dinner with the gun left in your vehicle. No carry permits except in very specific conditions.
