“Men don’t wear pistols in Canada!”

The photographic, archaeological & written evidence seems to suggest otherwise.

Don‘t even make me delve into the first legislation against firearms ownership which dominion of Canada implemented and where those laws applied and who they were used against.

My Great-Great-Grandfather sure did. Him and his horse Buck

Can I add this to the collection? My dream is to one day assemble a book of sorts about firearms and specifically handgun usage in the Canadian West.

Now any backstory on Albert? My great great grandfather was a horse rancher who went west to Montana at age 12 when his family were all dying of fever, he eventually set up a ranch near Shaunavon around 1913, there is a family story of him holding some chicken thieves at gunpoint with a shotgun while his wife summoned up the mounted police.
