If that happens im buying a new shotgun.
Not because I intend to use it to defend my home, but because its an excuse to buy a new gun I can tell my wife

What are you going to say to your wife if she asks why you can't use your current guns? You have to think a few steps ahead.

I swear, some of these people know something I don't. Good representation at the Outdoor Show here in BC, and Reliable Gun JUST opened up a second location...

Can you further explain plz I’ve got some idea you’re trying to say that they’re opening up a second location because they may know that some legislation may be cut ? Or that new laws that are pro gun may arise ?

Pretty much. It seems more and more restrictions are happening. Which would seem to be a bad time to open up a gun store...

u/Natural_Comparison21 Mar 21 '26
Despite more and more restrictions there are also more and more pal holders.

u/AdditionalLoss7274 Mar 21 '26
Weird, right? Almost like none of the people actually want these restrictions...

How much of the gun community in Canada is under 40? Every time I see pics like this, it's always middle aged men or seniors/retirees.

Hard to say. Age stats are not kept in Canada apart from minor pal numbers. However I am under 40 lol.

Probably a small number, due to Gen Z not really able to afford much due to fuddinflation🤷♂️.
At least it's more affordable than hockey: https://youtu.be/oca_4WD69SQ?si=e0kFLsHbOOiJ_qnz

I think the show used to have a lot more firearms, some old footage from 1965:

i imagine at a show like this you'd get way more gun sales in an era when almost anyone could buy a long gun without needing a bunch of licensing and paperwork beforehand. and of course before online sales too, so if you saw something you wanted you knew you might not see it again.

I’m not surprised there’s a massive surge for guns, Canada is in a crime wave and the liberals are still denying it. People will look to protect their loved ones and property.
Truly remarkable how Trudy dreamed of a gun free Canada only to inject more guns than ever before. He truly is the dumbest pm elected in Canadian history.
