    In America. Maybe in Surrey if you are brown and offend the wrong also brown people… Anyway here even the tough guy persona compensators generally don’t have guns and are pushovers when it really comes down to getting into an insurance claim where icbc will guaranteed try to put at least partial blame on the driver and not budge without the guy paying for a lawyer.

    The only Canadians I have met that legally own a gun are also mentally stable and would never shoot a person. Just hunters that love to share homemade deer jerky and sausage with their coworkers.

      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.
