I wonder if the Gentleman from Canada knows there is a wide-open concealed carry law, alive and well issued by the RCMP. All issued good for one year only. Has to be reissued each year.
It is called A Cross Canada permit? This allows you to carry a documented handgun, anywhere in Canada.
I once was an expert witness in the case of a young Lady. In the high court in Toronto. She was not the permit holder, her roommate was.
The roommates S&W Revolver, named on the piece of paper, was a 4" barreled .357 Mag. with Target sights, big wooden target grips, and had gone through the S&W accurizing shop Mod 686? (whatever it was called, sorry) why this young lady needed a gun to protect herself? She was a Cook in a Lumberjack Camp out West in Canada. When she received the Permit, she went to a local gun store, the only one for many miles. Who had this BIG gun in stock, which also managed to be the most expensive one in the shop!
She lived in a big double-wide, that was SECURE!
I do not believe she ever fired it. Anyhow, a short time after receiving permit, and gun! She quit her job, and headed to her friend in Toronto, by train!
Were it went in a drawer, in the S&W Cardboard box it came in. Plus a 50 round box of .357 lead Semi Wadcutters? Full power rounds.
I will give you the short version. The Newfy roommate, borrowed the S&W to go and rob a diamond store on Younge Street, the longest street in Canada.
She went into a Costume Jewelry store, by mistake! And shot the Indian Owner through the chest, accidentally. (I helped with that) He recovered.
The money was needed for her sick mother and the other 9 children in New Foundland. If you want all of the story? It would take ten pages.
The Homicide Sgt. Bert Novis delivered the .357 to the Court. He is long retired. He stuck his hand in the big envelope, grabbed it out by the barrel, and handed it to the Crown prosecutor, who walked towards me, in the Witness box, dry firing the revolver pointed at the floor. I pointed out to the Judge neither one of them had proved the revolver. The Crown said, "The Sgt. would not have given me a loaded weapon?" Bert just shrugged his Shoulders
and lifted his hands.
After I destroyed the Crowns testimony, wasn't hard, max of 8 and a half years was reduced to 4. This young Lady was 5 ft tall, with tiny hands.
I know, a long-winded story to point out the very rare case of a Cross Canada Permit being granted, but trust me, I have left a lot out.
