Do you own a firearm?

[crazy canuck]

No guns.  I am the first generation in my family that didnt own a gun at least at some point in his life.  My father wanted to hand my grandfather's hunting rifles down to me but I have no idea what I would do with them.

like all good americans, I own 5 so i'm never too far from one; I also have a concealed weapons permit because sometimes one in the briefcase or glove compartment is just prudent

Where does this fear come from ?

It's sad in a way, that a part of traditional life like that dies out, but I guess as Canadians become more urbanised the need/enthusiasm for hunting diminishes.

Sometimes, you just need to brush your suit coat back or the blazer back and let them see the holster. That lets people know you are getting tired of their bullshit.

I think that is the way my dad looks at it.

It depends on where in the car

in fla, in the trunk would be legal without the cwp or more than three steps from operable (iirc)

keeping it loaded and in arms reach requires the permit

Until March of this year, you could keep a firearm in your car in Kentucky without a CDWL, but it had to be in the glove compartment or the trunk.  If you had a CDWL, you could keep a gun anywhere in your car.  As of March, they changed that law and you can now keep a gun concealed anywhere in your car without a CDWL.

Also, suppressors are legal in Kentucky but you still gotta pay that huge licensing fee to the federal govt, and they run a background check on you if you apply for a permit.

Isn't Canada still almost entirely wilderness, geographically-speaking?  Maybe it's that cc is the first generation of his family to live in urban Vancouver?

Yep, that's my impression as well, but iirc Canadians are highly urbanised rather like Australians. I'd guess Americans are less so.


edit:
according to wiki:
United Kingdom - 90 %  ( I already knew we were highly urbanised )
Australia            - 89 %
United States    - 82 %
Canada             - 80 %

so I was wrong but as whole us languishites come from fairly urbanized countries.

The city vs rural divide is a much bigger factor in gun ownership than most other things, I think.

Maybe you should start easy and go with well adjusted people like Meri and Max, before you consider weird fuckers like Seedy, me and Grumbler ?
