I know one thing our shelves are full of ammo... you boys stocking up for something down there? Most smart firearm owners shelves are so full they have to build more shelves. Saves from going to crowded stores.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

There are some misconceptions in this thread on both sides... first and foremost, we cannot get "all" the same guns here as they can in the US as some are restricted to importation here and it is not a simple matter to get ones hands on an AR platform gun anymore.
By the same token, I believe there are a few models readily and cheaply available here (SKS?) that may not be so easy to get in the USA.
The full auto guys got grandfathered in the 1970s, I don't believe that it is possible to bring new select fire or full auto weapons into Canada now (but I could be wrong)
We can buy guns (standard and restricted) via mail order... we don't have the interstate commerce issues here that are in the US related to firearms so guns and ammo via mail are non-issue.
Any airgun over 500 FPS is treated like a firearm under the law
Pike River, you are correct that our Conservatives are "small-c"... but they are more like RHINOs than they are like Dems. A party with a Republican platform would be unelectable here simply based on how our electoral system works and how much weight eastern Canada (especially QC which is lefty heaven) is given. I have read on other forums that Canada does have it a bit easier with importing Military surplus weapons, such as old WWII bolt actions and some semi autos of various types and country of manufacture. That I am envious of as I do like the old war horse rifles. I think former president Obama shut down importation of Milsurp weapons, I could be wrong.

You can have any gun here that you can in the states as long as you got your licence.
Gun licence is like a drivers licence here.
Once you have your licence there is none of that dumb waiting for background checks of having someone else with a licence get one in the mail for you.We can buy/order guns/ammo anywhere any time here.
Like trapping you guys have too many restrictions down there. Can you have suppressors? Machine guns?

I got my first gun from my American uncle in Ohio.I was about 6 or 7 and he gave me a BB Gun.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Suppressors, or fully automatic weapons, Boco says Canadians can have any guns that Americans have.
Can you purchase either of these in Canada right now?

Are you guys aloud to carry them, open or concealed? I carry a gun every day on my trap line. A pistol?

Can you purchase either of these in Canada right now? Okay, Canadian Crickets on the suppressors and fully automatic weapons. How about Gen 3 night vision, or thermal imaging optics....Can Canadians purchase and legally own these?

Even with a prohibited license. You can’t legally possess fully automatic/suppressers in Canada.
You can get a collector license. But then have too be inoperable.

If you got the right licence you can get any kind of gun. Yes many trappers carry pistols in the bush,for dispatch or protection from predators. If you dont believe me,go on any Canadian gun seller site and see whats for sale. They sell all classes of firearms.

Thanks spjones, I wasn't sure....We still can, but you have to register with the BATFE, and basically jump through a few more hoops. I am more surprised about the suppressors, since I thought it was just an American bias against them, interestingly they can be purchased openly without restriction in the UK.
