Jin, I bet your stats are even lower than 0.0045% for rural areas like the one I am in. But even if I wander into town I am way more likely to be mowed down by some idiot with a steering wheel in their hand and not paying attention to driving than I am another sort of violent crime.
I've had a couple or three bear encounters while prospecting and was glad to be licensed and carrying,
The first time doesn't count because the bear just snorted and walked away....
The second time the bear charged and about 30ft away, a split second before I was about to pull the trigger....he stopped, fake charge, and he walked away....
The third time, it was a bear cub that wanted to play with me, while the sow was making noises in the bush and I couldn't see her, exactly where she was...
Now if you can imagine a guy holding a .44 magnum in his right hand and throwing rocks with his left at playful bear cub to chase him away.....
That time again the bear cub left to join his mother and I walked backwards for the longest time with .44 in my hand.
You might say I never did need that handgun, and it never saved my life even the time I shot and buried a sickly looking fox that might have had rabies.
But damn .....I felt a little more secure because I had it with me!

Winchester 1895 hand me down, .410 and 12 gauge. Used to hunt birds but never really had the bug. It's just like fishing. Way easier to golf all day and pick up something at the grocery store.
Just gotta ask at the right time. Maybe after our new PM has toked a few, come with a bag of chips and ask then.
You can, but there has to be a specific need for it. In Canada, claiming a need for self-defense without proving said need will result in your application being denied.
To date, only about 50 private citizens have been issued permits to carry in public.
Yeah leave the hunting and fishing to the real men, you go shopping with the women like a good boy.
I love fishing and hunting, I can't understand how anyone would not love the challenge of casting out a line and reeling in dinner, fresh.
You just don't get it, the more rules, the more there is an under ground market and things are done illegally.
Honestly, why bother have a gun license in Canada, when you can go to the USA and pick up whatever you want at a gun show, and ammo from any corner store.
You still constipated ??
Not embarrassed that I enjoy fishing and hunting.
I'm sorry for you that you would rather go shopping with the ladies, you're the one that should be embarrassed.
...and you shouldn't be. You should be embarrassed that you find it a challenge. The lack of a challenge is precisely the reason it bores me. I can certainly understand how you can find it challenging though.
meh Grocery store fish; frozen crap from fishfarms. One good thing about grocery stores is, though, that they seem to help keep annoying people rushing around in cars buying stuff instead of annoying others in their boats. Let them fight each other on the roads and in checkout lines. =)
Anyways, I think we do not need unsubstantiated carry permits here.
