Are you eastern bloc or western allies? Or should none of this have even happened in the first place?

Only thing about the US I am attracted to is their gun culture partially. The ability to get anything you want with the right ATF tax stamp. Silencers for one, but definitely just a lot of firearms we can not even dream of owning here.

I was considering moving to Texas, until I found out they don't support medical cannabis. I've used it for arthritis, back pain and permanent nerve pain for 15 years and my medication would be considered a Felony in Texas. So scratch that.

Now that's what Im talking about, I could totally move to Montana, not much different than Alberta. I'm from NS, but been here in Alberta for the past 25 years

Theres something about being responsible and trusted enough to have a mpx as a truck gun and sig on the waist. I dont have any fantasy or desire to hurt anybody or else id just be a criminal. I just want to carry and im more than capable but being canadian we are some of the least trusted citizens.

I hear you. Honestly, I would pack a .44 Magnum, .45colt, or .45 ACP if it were legal. I originally wanted one for bush carry for years, though I'd be happy just to be able to own one now.

Hell, I'd even carry in Edmonton these days if we had even open carry as an option. If that was an option, I would likely carry a Ruger Redhawk in .44 magnum on my belt, the same as the fixed blade I carry everywhere currently.

Only ever had one security guard at Walmart have a problem with me carrying a knife, as he tried to tell me carrying a knife was illegal in Canada LOL. I proceeded to educate him on the laws in Canada. Knives are only illegal if they are prohibited varieties or concealed. I currently carry my Buck 102 with the 4" blade. I have carried a knife everywhere for 40 years. It's a tool I use multiple times a day, from opening packages and cutting things at work to even using it for cutting food at times.

A cordless hole puncher would be just another tool for me ;)
