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.

That’s just false. does not matter what gun you use handgun or shotgun. It’s the exact same defence in court

It is the same defence but low IQ judges (not knowing guns) will for some reason give more scrutiny if you used a prohibited AR15 vs a Non-restricted Backland Hunter, even though it's the same calibre and everything.

Sorry again, false. Father is a crown attorney and I’m sitting with him now. Says it does not matter what gun is used if it’s legally owned it’s the exact same charge and process and will have zero bearing on the case
