Conceal Carry in Canada
I am in Canada and just got a licence (possession-acquisition licence) or PAL for restricted and non-restricted firearms. In this country only police,military and security folks can carry a gun around.For restricted firearms (handguns with a barrel over 4.14 inches long),I had to pass two written tests, have a police investigation into my good character, wait two months and pay $80 CDN. Conceal Carry Permits are impossible for the average citizen to get,I don't have a problem with that. To own handguns in Canada you have to belong to a shooting club and have a permit to transport them to and from the range, again I can live with that. How does this compare with the laws in the U.S. and elsewhere?
