Imagine that....somebody who openly admitted he was new to guns in his first post by writing "I'm new to the world of firearms" and was asking which course he should take.
What was the point of your post, other than to mock somebody who wasn't born into such great knowledge as when you were born?
Well that broke down quickly..
Gr8ness - I don't believe StouffvilleGuy meant any offence, but his post was a little lacking in tact.
He is correct, however - Protection is not a valid reason to own a restricted firearm in Canada. If you use that as your reason, your license will be denied. Once you learn about our storage and transportation laws, you'll find that it's pretty difficult to store it legally and with easy, quick access; our laws are specifically designed to prevent quick, easy access to restricted firearms.
"I don't have a firearms problem; they all work perfectly well." - Strike that. I do have a problem; the gov't has decided some are too dangerous to own.

Gov’t couldn’t make sense if you gave them a recipe.

That's an understatement lol. Finesse has never been my thing, but thank you for recognizing what my underlining point was.
My comment had no ill intention, I truly don't want him being screwed over in both the licensing process or in a real world situation where a handgun would be useless.
I over reacted. I interpreted your post as one of a sarcastic tone. I was wrong. I apologize. I truly know nothing about guns, and I really just want to learn as much about them as possible.
And I appreciate you taking the time to explain yourself, and not jumping down my throat for my over reacting.
I hope you guys can forgive a newb who's just trying to learn as much as humanly possible on this subject.
Cheers.
