3 months ago, i was very much in the very few people need a gun camp. Me and a buddy in the same camp just started the process.
I still don't think a lot of people out there should have them, but those of us not batshit should be getting ready.
If the PAL process was more strenuous you would weed out almost all the crazies. People who want to shoot people aren't interested in going through a gun safety program haha
I know a gun owner who should not have one. He legit scares me, and i know one day he's going to pop off. However, to date, being an incel creep with despicable ideas isn't enough to prevent him from owning. He follows every rule and law while gleefully fantasizing about the day he can finally use his stockpile against the evil pedo Liberals in government and at the CBC.
He should not have a gun, but there is no legal reason to prevent him from having one.
I did mine about 7 years ago and I didn’t find it easy or quick. It took two full days of proper (theoretical and handling guns - no shooting) training and the tests were not easy. Maybe there is difference where or who puts them on but my brain was smoking lol. I passed with flying colours, so did my friend (we were both the only females). We were the two with the highest scores in the room. Several didn’t pass! I am a bit fuzzy on the number but I would say 7ish out of 40ish?! One was there for the second time and didn’t pass. The other one had tried several times before and never passed. The instructors were talking between them after they failed and left and I overheard.
Absolutely agree that criminals don’t care about gun safety and the proper paperwork. Neither for themselves nor for the guns.
