mc, the US is a great country that has made a great contribution to the world, socially, economically and militarily, as I messaged in response to your earlier post. It pleases me that you are campaigning against the antis more than just sending off money for your NRA membership.

The only point where you've got it wrong is my being pro-gun to protect my property. I don't think there's a license for protection of property in Canada. Pistols are licensed under onerous conditions almost entirely for target shooting (although some may regard their pistols for safety).

You couldn't know, of course, that no one locks their homes or cars in our fishing and agricultural communities for miles around, and there hasn't been a break-and-enter here as far back as I can remember. We do not have carry concealed or otherwise. I have no need of a firearm for protection.
