Celebrated new year's eve in Hart plaza in Detroit once and at midnight the fireworks sounded a bit off sharper report it was a fair bit of ordnance taking flight. Apparently emptying you gun into the sky is a form of celebration in certain circles its surprising that you don't hear more about incidental damage from this.
Found an interesting deal today, older Browning Citori O/U based on the 525 and sold as the Sporting clays special edition , 12 gauge ,30” ported barrels and fitted custom stock ( pistol grip) to replace the Prince of Wales grip. Includes Briley custom tube set for 20/28/410 shells and skeet chokes for each . The tube set alone are worth 4K now so it was a deal .
Now I can buy shells twice the price of 12g and make hitting a target harder…..

I put a new roof on my old house. When I removed the old shingles I discovered a .30 calibre slug embedded point first into the roof sheathing right above my daughter's bedroom.

I'm also in the market for a O/U to replace the Beretta 686 I sold a while back... 'Sellers remorse getting the best of me Lol
'Will likely just get another 686
'Been using my Benelli M2 for trap lately, but... It's just not a day on the trap field without a nice O/U.

There was at least one. It may take me a while to remember their username.
I`ve always had an interest in firearms, though never pursued owning one. Can someone possibly explain the legal trail involved in purchasing and owning one and ranges to go to. You know, like Denzel said..." Explain it like I`m a 5 year old ". My nearest dealer is in Port Perry, could ask them, but since I`m here daily... Thanks all.
What types of guns you want to own/use and what you want to do with the firearms changes the path at bit. Assuming you want to own normal hunting rifles or shotguns you need to take the firearm safety course and wait for your license to show up. Then you can buy guns. If you want to hunt you need to take a hunting course too and then you can buy hunting licenses. If you want to shoot, you can do it on private property but you need a reasonable backstop/distance or your life can be miserable. Joining a gun club can be a fun way to learn and hang out with others. Most have long waiting lists (although sometimes they have bring a friend day so that is a good opportunity to try various firearms and see what you like).
I haven't paid too much attention to JT's firearm stupidity. I think you can still get a restricted firearms license but I'm not sure if you are allowed to use any of them anymore.
Good luck. Shooting is a fun way to turn money into noise.
not just money into noise, soemtimes there is dust and cheering to go with the noise.
I shot a registered targets clay event last week , you put up $50 to enter then the pool pays out based on some odd bell curve score. With my 5K gun and a season worth of practise , probably 2k in shells and related , I netted out $12.00 bucks. Thats a solid pay back right there .

1. Sign up for and take/pass the Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC). There are two types of courses. The regular "non-restricted" and the "restricted" course. 'May as well do BOTH or, some instructors may piggy-back the restricted course one onto the non-restricted as both courses are almost identical with the restricted course just adding some material on the laws re. storage and transport.
2. Apply for your Possession and Acquisition License (PAL) or "Restricted Possession and Acquisition License (RPAL).
This can be done on-line through the RCMP Firearms Program website or the old fashioned way via the paper application form and snail mail.
On-line or on paper you'll fill out the form with your info. Your CFSC course info. Two personal references and their contact info., You'll also need to supply a passport style photograph of yourself and someone must sign as guarantor that the photo is of you. Doing this online is easy as you can just upload your photo and your guarantor can verify via an email link the RCMP will send them.
***Note: Some of the questions on the form seem a bit intrusive, but that's the way it is..
3. After you submit your license application along with the appropriate fee ($89 for the RPAL) you will have to wait about 28 days from when it's received for the application to be processed. According to some people, the system, it's either the RCMP or the Chief Firearms Officer (OPP) is experiencing delays. I'm not so sure though... My daughter applied on-line for her PAL/RPAL back in September and she had her license in hand in UNDER three weeks.
4. If/when your application is approved your license will be mailed to you. Unless you're a convicted violent offender or a severe mental case you shouldn't have any issues with receiving your license.
The license is good for five years, Renewing is less of a hassle and is best done on-line.
With your license in hand you may now buy or receive and posses any non-restricted or if applicable, restricted firearm you can afford.
'Not going to take the time here to explain the difference between restricted and non-restricted, but suffice it to say the rues don't make any sense.
That said there are a plethora of non-restricted firearms available for Canadians to buy/own/enjoy and many different shooting sports to participate in. Everything from casual target shooting to shotgun sports like Trap, Skeet and Sporting Clays to Action Shooting Sports like IPSC and IDPA... We won't mention SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) otherwise known as CAS (Cowboy Action Shooting)... Dammt, I mentioned it!
Then there's Metallic Silhouette, PPC (Police Pistol Combat) and "Bullseye"...
I'm sure I've left some out... Oh yeah... Don't forget Rimfire Precision Shooting.
As far as gun clubs go... There are many and they're all a bit different in how they're run and what you can do shooting-wise. A quick search on the Google should get you started.
I'll tell you though... The best thing about shooting and riding bikes is... They go together pretty well
Another 324 guns added to the banned list yesterday:
And apparently they're sending them to Ukraine....
And apparently they're sending them to Ukraine....
Sending what to Ukraine? They have "bought back" zero guns. There is no price list. There is no approved budget. There is no viable path to any of this. These are just more meaningless press conferences from people completely detached from reality.
EDIT:
I should also add that it's disgusting that they did this on anniversary of L'Ecole Polytechnique and raised that tragedy as part of their justification. The liberals are disgusting human beings that are so sick that they truly believe in the insanity they peddle. Stop spending money on this. You could have spent the tens of millions on the border and actually had a measurable effect on safety. This has everything to do with being scared of guns and control and nothing even remotely to do with safety or criminals.

The charter is a charter of convenience not worth the paper it's scribbled on.
This brings me to five firearms, collectively worth about $8k I can't take out of the house.
Three from the first OIC and now two more.
FFS facepalm.
