Thanks guys for all this - I've been away so have only just caught up. This situation is more than a little depressing it seems, as far as handguns go, and I think I'll have to give it a pass and stick to long guns.

But I agree with Halftail's various points. And as far as muzzleloading flintlock long guns goes, Canada is still gloriously free of paperwork - I can buy or build a gun, buy ball and powder (which is classified as an explosive, not as 'ammunition'), and shoot target or varmint on my own land, without having to get a permit or register anything. The only restrictions where I live are imposed by the local county which does not allow recreational shooting on Sundays or from half hour before dawn to half hour after dusk. Pretty good if you ask me.

I'll agree Strider,
All in all it's not to bad.I can shoot here 365 days a year,daylight to Dark.It seems to that with the change in our Government the Firearms act is going to get better.Let's hope we have sense to keep Harper and Crowd in power long enough to undo Cretiens Mess.

Well ..
I have a dragoon...And my range is used by cops a plenty and I use the shotgun area.I dont know how big your planned "pistol" is supposed to be but it may still be considered a longarm.
"mine is 24"long, hardly a pistol by the firearms acts standard......

Big bore horse guns are kinda a grey zone. like those japenese matchlock carbine thingys :hmm: :hmm: :v :grin:

ya thats what im sayin, but non the less, stay legal. for most part they aint going to say much at range, but no one needs a power tripin police man should the ocasion arise.
