I live 4 miles from the border and except at the highway checkpoint (for the tourists) it is a non-existent border which is how it should be. We should have an open border with Canada. Not about terrorists, it's about control & money. Locals come & go as they please and rarely even check in. In rural areas, people on both sides are often related; they hunt, visit, fish both sides together and like it that way. Locals don't see any difference on ether side, only the crooks in D.C see a problem with the way it is.
My Canadian friends all have pistol permits for hand guns for bear protection at their EX. Gold Claims. Canadians all buy their guns in USA as they are cheaper and usually unregistered, but they can buy new guns just as easily as we can. They all have this license, like drivers license, no waiting period or call in check when they have the license in their wallet. MOst Canadians I know are just like us and could care less about what their govt has to say about gun control and that's the reality of the situation. Only the liberals worry & fret about guns in Canada.
Only difference I see is that I buy Leupolds, my Canadian friends buy Diavari's, we all just luv Weatherbys, Brownings, Savages, and Winchesters.
Are Francophones more likely to favor gun control?
I’m interested.
If your Canuck buddies buy firearms in the States then they open themselves up for trouble.
A “Verfier” may show up at his door and demand to see firearm, no warrant required. Failure to allow entry into his home and he violates the law.
This is STILL part of the law, so are licensees, for ANY firearm and crossbows.
The birg”repeal” was a meager timid babystep. Laughable by most of us in the know.
