Application / Regulation advice Will the handgun freeze ever go away?

I mean, we need pistols for hunting and self-defence if a bear is running at you and is near.

I really doubt it bud. Now this is my opinion so take it as you wish - Even if Canada got a majority Conservative Government I still don’t think they could amend the criminal code and “un freeze” handguns. The conservatives in Canada are basically soft liberals, and they never actually do anything. I know everyone keeps saying “Well Pierre said blah blah blah” but if you actually go back there is no article or video of PP saying he will lift the handgun freeze. My bet is that Canada continues to fall into a deep dark place
