“Men don’t wear pistols in Canada!”

[u/Borealbound]

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.

Imagine how many times people would leave their pistols in the loo at timmies. It would be a bad look. These fuckin guys who don't do up their pants would be dropping their shit everywhere. Right now we treat them with reverence because they're dangerous. We use them with purpose and keep other people safe from accessing them. The worst case scenarios are all over US news. Do you want that level of peril around here?

No reason to engage lol, they are day dreaming about a world long gone lol

I am a machinist, making guns disappear could only be accomplished by ending humanity.

[u/Cb1receptor → u/Borealbound]

I didn’t say anything about making guns disappear. I just don’t think it would be good for us to have just anyone able to carry firearms. Imagine all the people that make you want to carry being armed as well.

Those people are already carrying and you arent. Youd be surprised who is carrying and what they have.

[u/Cb1receptor → u/hunterofsteelhead]

They aren’t. It’s not easy concealing a full size frame. Most people who have the fear will carry 9+ and we don’t see compact frames when the police do their perp galleries. I am aware there are lots of stingers in Canada. It’s not Canadian to walk around all scared trying to hide a gun in your pants. That’s US chicken shit behaviour.

I literally have literally concealed carried a CZ-52 with an inside the waistband holster here in the US. That’s not a small pistol, it’s a full sized service pistol. I know people who have CCW’d full sized 1911’s or Beretta 92’s. It’s not difficult to conceal a handgun on your person. Most Canadians also as a result of living in a place where people typically do not carry don’t look at things like people’s waistlines or if they are carrying a fanny pack, or the newest rage with ATL youth which is to wear skinny jeans, their sisters jacket and stuff their handgun under their arm and hold it in the armpit, so when people look at their waist they see skinny jeans, assume they are not carrying a pistol. 

Truth be told, a lot of criminally minded people do not use holsters, they just stuff it into a waistband, backpack or pocket. I literally have more holsters than pistols.

Yea itd probally more rare to find a holster in the streets than a gun lol besides waist bands and hoodies some guys are wearing purse-like things and some shooters are pretty intelligent they live in urban areas so they have protocols with vehicles , license plates , concealing their face. There was even one where the shooter was on camera wiping prints off things immediately after the shooting and then running. 8 years later they never been caught https://youtu.be/qAl-LS5eo1E?si=Q9bLaWYn8jqorTqZ
