I don't care about guns, I could own them but I don't, I don't care if my neighbour does. I don't agree with CCW in Canada except for extreme situations. If it's my time, doesn't matter if I have a knife, gun. nothing, it's my time.
I'd rather live my life to the fullest and not be so afraid of what might happen that I feel the need to carry a gun - again; each to their own.

Bob,

Sorry you feel that way. I have lived and worked in Canada and spend a lot of time with Canadians along the way.

Guess my experiences and relationships with Canadians are different than those of the majority of the posters on this thread. They are not happy with the govt much of the time, and many of its actions, and especially not happy with the govt playing what they see as political games with their weapons and ability to protect themselves.

Afraid that I agree with them from what I have seen. Problem is that many people feel that you should not have to carry a weapon and while I agree with that in principal, the crooks and criminals do not subscribe to that theory and they are almost ALWAYS armed in one manner or another.

When the criminals are eliminated from society (good luck with that one eh?) then no one will need weapons to protect themselves! Am not going to hold my breathe on that one happening in my lifetime as its sure not happened in the last 2000+ years on Earth.
