First Time Card Holder

[u/ExtremeCommercial821]

I'm sure this is a tale as old as time, but I recently got my non-restricted and I've noticed 2 things;

1) Buying guns seem simple yet Googling local stores shows mostly the same stock and not a lot of "charm"

2) Prices are insane

I'm in Toronto; what are the best methods people use to buy from the community? Are there legendary go-to forums for private sales? Or are there hidden gem shops? Or gun shows where I can find cool stuff and meet enthusiastic people?

And, what are this groups opinions on the best first firearms for a newbie? I'm a big fan of brake-barrel shotguns, bolt-action, anything vintage and a good semi-auto.

Thanks everyone!

a bit of a hike but Tillsonburg gun shop is great.. the amount of used guns on their shelf is almost worth the drive

I will also add that Tillsonburg is a great store with a super large variety and knowledgeable employees that are kind and willing to help you out, plus if you like a little detour the backwoods to get there are beauty
