Group therapy from a few weeks back, really wished I had got a wheel gun before the freeze.

u/Relevant_Diver_3228 Aug 02 '26
If you are their informant does that make you gay too?

u/A_a_ronA Aug 02 '26
Gay by association perhaps?

u/mokapotWONTmokapot Aug 02 '26
Just the tip of being gay I suppose

u/yummybunnybear Aug 02 '26
There are 3 ways of being gay. The old fashioned "happy" gay. The same-sex attraction gay (which we're totally cool with). And then there's the Justin Trudeau banging Katy Perry but he's still gay because he banned our guns kind of gay.

He's so toxic. Banning our funnest hobby and then fucking tje shit out of Katy perry

u/HoneyGlazedSlut Aug 03 '26
I can't lie if this was Katy Perry from 2010 he'd be the guy but now it's just weird 😭😭

You can in 22LR. They look identical.

u/Eglitarian Aug 03 '26
Well now the RCMP has gotten wise to that loophole since people abused the hell out of it, especially in BC where the burden of proof that you’re actually doing it specifically and only for Olympic shooting disciplines was lower…
I imagine they might pull something soon.

u/Curious_Joe2020 Aug 03 '26 edited Aug 03 '26
The loophole was people trying to convert to 9mm and importing said parts from the USA. I think that's the major problem. The exemption for 22LR is not a loophole it's the law but different provinces had very different requirements for the exemption. As I said before get as many as you can while you still can.
I have no issues with 22LR and have no interest in 9mm so don't understand the obsession. 9mm is expensive to shoot and not practical for target shooting due to noise and recoil among other things.
Glock 44 looks identical to Glock 19 except it's 22LR.
1911 5inch looks identical to 1911 except it's in 22LR.
I don't think people are shooting hundreds or thousands of rounds with 9mm on many different guns but they are with 22LR.

u/Brav0_Romeo Aug 02 '26
Is that a Dan Wesson 1911?

u/crashblanchard Aug 02 '26
Yessir! Its the specialist in .45

u/Curious_Joe2020 Aug 02 '26
Sounds expensive. You're not shooting hundreds of rounds a week with that. Better the 22LR version.

Yo that Lady zealot gun nazi said illegal guns weren't the issue remember guys xD

u/crashblanchard Aug 03 '26
Just wait until you realize the illegal one is cheaper 🤣😅 so unbelievably frustrating haha.

u/julienjj Aug 03 '26
That's the crazy part with criminality quite often. The bandits take those massive risk for such shitty paydays.
No one ever said they where smart.

Sheesh what’s happening here. Comp on the glizzy and a light on the 1911? 🎃🤣 bored after the freeze ?
1
u/crashblanchard Aug 02 '26
I actually use the light on both. I have the omnivore holster, allows me to use either gun in the holster with just swapping the light haha. It is definitely not the best holster by any means but im sure not the best shooter so works for me haha.

u/Marauder934 Aug 02 '26
I’m fcking with you. Love the choices. Traded my Glock and 1911 right before the freeze for other pistols. Regret it

u/Savings-Beautiful-46 Aug 02 '26
The other exemptions are the wilderness authorization to carry which trappers and other remote wilderness occupations can get for there job or for protection of life which is almost impossible to get.

u/x_Alpine_x Aug 03 '26
I too missed out on the wheel guns, but am tempted by the heritage rancher 22 revolver rifle.

u/crashblanchard Aug 03 '26
Those Turkish revolver .410s keep tempting me, it's only a matter of time at this point lol

u/Curious_Joe2020 Aug 02 '26
Can you tell me what the makes and specific models are? And you can still get the 22LR Glock and 1911 versions after the freeze. They look identical just less recoil.

u/QuarterFantastic6134 Aug 03 '26
Those are things the less fortunate after the sale ban and freeze will never own… 😔
Dinky 22LR via Olympic exemption just doesn’t do it for some. Only alternate I’ve found after research to fire a “modern” round that has punch is find $5K+ great condition, Nitro Proof antique revolver that can reliably run standard 45ACP. Let the saving begin…

u/Icy-Veterinarian8662 Aug 04 '26
I would more often if the only thing I'm still allowed to use didn't cost 2$ per shot

u/Qwazz161 Aug 02 '26
We can't use handguns in Canada. Illegals only unfortunately.

u/Relevant_Diver_3228 Aug 02 '26
You can use ones purchased before the freeze you just cannot purchase new ones unless you have a .22 exemption or another exemption. I forget what it is but I know there is one

u/mwmwmwmwmmdw Aug 03 '26
or when a real conservative government gets elected

u/WeightedDips95 Aug 03 '26
Carney is a conservative. Conservatives are showing how dumb they are because they’d vote for carney if he ran for CPC, just dumb tribalism. He was literally appointed by Harper too! /s

u/Curious_Joe2020 Aug 02 '26
Yes you can 22LR is exempt. Both of those have 22LR versions that look identical. And you can import from the USA too.

People shouldn't forget. Or else it's fades and gets forgotten. Then we will never get them back.
