I think borealboy's thoughts are what the government has been doing to some extent. Handguns are restricted weapons. Our ordinary FAC can't purchase them. They are supposed to be locked in cases and only transported to known locations for use. Unfortunately the controls have gone about as far as you can go without totally banning them. I don't think that banning the legal users will lower the criminal effect and we will have only set a precident for banning other firearms.

Borealboy; I know where you're coming from. We Canadians try to go half way or better to help solve problems. Unfortunately; I think this one is more like putting a line in the sand and refusing to go over it.

In your part of the woods I would have thought that most of the gunshot wounds would have been from rifles? My daughter goes to Lakehead and I worked a summer near Minaki so that was my impression. I didn't think you had a concealed gun problem?
