Buy recommendations New to gun ownership

I thought Canada was safe, then I got home invaded. Still dealing with the PTSD but in the meantime, looking at gun ownership. Want to do it correctly, any tips about how to get one?

Also, (this is for the experts) based on the legal list of guns (hand guns for now) what is the best quality gun that -

  • doesn't require tons of maintenance
  • is Quality (not cheap crap)
  • Doesn't lose it's aim after some use

Thanks for the feedback.

Dude this is illegal . Self defense is NOT a valid reason for pal ownership in this country, sorry to say.

Thank the liberal government for doubling down in it, for them restricting all the guns, and for letting out the criminals and letting this crime wave rise rhat lead to your traumatic event.

But id keep this self defense reason quiet especially on your course and during the paperwork stage or else you WILL be denied.
