Anybody here carry one of these?
As an Alaskan I can state with all assurance that we don't use them for survival.
We tend to just sic our polar bears on threats
Thinking of buying some, not really sure how the process works in Canada. Can someone tell me about it?
Good Lord. I walk into a gun shop and 10 minutes and 1 background check later I'm out the door with anything from pistol to an AR.GettingLicensed
Basically you find an instructor who will teach you the firearms safety course and conduct a written and practical test (or you can challenge the tests yourself though I would advise against it if you didn't grow up around guns). After passing the tests and receiving the approved results from your provincial Chief Firearms Officer (CFO), you mail it to the licensing centre in Miramichi, NB. If you've indicated that you also want restricted conditions on your license, prepare to have a phone interview with the RCMP and have two references which will also be phoned (I think one has to be a spouse/common law partner and they will want to speak to exes if you lived together as well). After submitting all that, there's just a bunch of waiting.
To put the wait times into perspective, I took the safety course in April of this year and did not receive my (R)PAL until September, I've also heard of the process taking up to a whole year. If you want to talk about actually buying guns with your PAL, then I can discuss that in detail later as well.
500 rounds for like $15 bucks? Yessir.
Yea around here at Walmart it's something like $20 after taxes for 500. Way better than the $28 out the door per 100 I pay for .40 S&W:icon_sad:Jesus, that's cheap. Yesterday I picked up a 500 round brick of Winchester Super X .22LR, 40 grain, standard velocity, lead round nose and it still cost me $27. I guess I just have to accept that we get charged an arm and a testicle for everything up here, north of the 49.
