Those are the only legal reasons in Canada to permit the ownership of firearms

That only applies to restricted. You can own a non restricted for whatever reason you want - you think it looks cool, you want to use it as a dildo, whatever.

Additionally, possession of a restricted or prohibited firearm for self defence is recognized in our laws (Authorization to Carry), but that of course is likely restricted to political elites.
