Misc Does military surplus exist in canada?

I mean are there any milsurp stores that sell any firearma cause whenever i go to a city when i can i go and shop at a store that sells milsurp clothes and i shop there but they dont have any guns so are there any stores that still do that or is it no more? (Im young and dont know if it exists here never heard of it so relax)

It’s been decades since a surplus store in Canada would have had firearms.

There's one in Halifax selling guns right now

That’s surprising. I’d have thought the regulatory burden would have killed it. Makes me wonder if Halifax is a unique market and what other rare business situations occur there.

My comment was a little too definitive - although I’d stand by the overall tone. It’s been a very long time since you could wander into a surplus store and not be surprised to see guns, and even longer since you’d be surprised not to.

Edit: some of the comments are showing I really need to get out of Toronto more.
