It’s funny to me that BC easily one of the most liberal provinces has some of the more lax approach to gun laws with exception to them participating in the “definitely real I swear guys” “” buyback””
BC is just a mix of hippies, rednecks, first Nation and city folks eh. I'm considering making the move with all this separatist bs going on in AB at the moment.
I’ve lived in BC for almost my whole life sans 4 months in Onterrible.
I’ve lived in the lower mainland, the Kootenays, and the eastern Fraser Valley.
There’s a little bit of something for everyone. Which is nice. The weather is generally mild but rainy. However the cost of living makes it tough.
I’d say the Vancouver area is mostly full of neoliberal WASPS (regardless of actual ethnicity) with a sprinkling of progressives et al. There’s a few ranges in the outskirts but last time I checked membership was hard to get.
The Fraser valley leans more conservative WASP and has the collective IQ to go with it. Expect idiots blowing past you on the highway at 130 in their lifted Duallys and soccer moms in their Cadillac/Ford/Chevy SUVs tailgating you. I’ve been rear ended twice living here. Lots of forest service roads littered with beer cans and shot out mile markers.
In the interior you get the sprinkling of what you actually mentioned. If you’re not an ivermectin soaked chud you’re a hippie, no in between.
Generally for shooting sports I’d say the further east the easier it gets to get a reasonably priced range membership and to find good crown land to shoot safely on. The Fraser valley has spots in that are legal, but I’ve yet to find a longer ranged spot with an actual backstop.
