How does Canada compare to Boston for that ?

I live in the country where most of my neighbours have at least one. It's much much more secluded, which leaves us a bit more vulnerable.

The houses aren't crammed all together here like they were there (in the city) and it's much easier for someone to break in a house here without being detected by a bunch of neighbours.

When I lived in the city, there wasn't one spot around my house where plenty of neighbours couldn't see, but here it's the opposite.

Of course it's not secluded like this in the cities in Canada.

Someone broke into a house a few houses down from me just a few months ago.

My dad bought me a 12 gauge when I was about 14. We took it to a rifle range to do it proper-like. The gun was almost as tall as I was, but I loaded it and pulled the trigger. It knocked me flat on my butt!

I was always a bit shy of that gun after that.

I've never been good aiming with pistols at all. Can't shoot the broad side of a barn.

I do have an Anschutz (sp?) .22 single shot that I've had since I was 14. It's an old gun :wink: and a beauty but it's not for defense. I can still take out beer bottles with one shot.

I've tried a 9mm but it almost took my finger off (don't like clips). The 357 was too heavy; I have small hands. I don't like the idea of carrying a loaded gun around in my purse (especially my purse where Things Get Lost Forever). Maybe a taser would be better?

Yes.

We just bought him a 22-250 a couple of months ago. He killed his first buck at age 7 during a youth hunt, and thats what he toted that weekend. He fell in love with the gun.

So....he worked for his allowance, and earned it. So we went and bought it for him.

Here's a link to some pictures.......I won't put them in here. Seems a few years ago, I posted a pic of a deer and I was about to be tarred and feathered for it...lol

The link I give you is to the main page, look to the left I believe and there is a list of sub pages to choose from. There is 2006 deer season and a 2007 deer season. And no...you won't see my pic in there with a deer...lol, my fat ass isn't being photo'd.....lol My deer are though.......lol

Is Canada or Boston easier for the legalities of handgun possession ?

I'm not sure David. I had an FID in Mass and couldn't buy a hand gun with that and I heard it wasn't easy to get a permit to carry a hand gun over there, at least at that time.

I have no idea what the requirements are here because I haven't gotten that far yet, but I'll let you know as soon as know more.

Also, all the people I know here have shot guns. I'm not aware of anyone with hand guns here, but I also don't ask.

I'm sure it's even harder now to get a hand gun in Mass as it was years ago when I had my FID.

I think you've set yourself a tough row to hoe, in Canada. I don't know the laws, but I've heard they're pretty tough, nationwide.

I'd prefer a hand gun, but a shot gun is good too.

Any suggestions?

Shotguns are vastly over rated - unless you anticipate a mass invasion by a motorcycle gang, or something like that. It's really hard to open the door to a late night knock, for example, with a shotgun. You just can't throw down on every innocent visitor, and if it's held at your side, you'll probably never have a chance to get it into action. It's dandy as a second weapon, of course, and at defensive ranges, a 16 is as good as a 12.

Handguns are basically a defensive proposition; long guns are essentially offensive. Outside of tankers, officers, and military police, you seldom see handguns used by the military.

It is highly unlikely that you would get a handgun permit in Canada unless you are a collector or target shooter. You must demonstrate a valid need in order to get a licence.

Most handguns are the ones that come in from the U.S. (and elsewhere) illegally.

Do thay have the fortitude and the patience
to carry shotguns around all the time ?

Thanks Rog and Intrepid. I'm gonna look into it. I want it for defense and target practice. I really need to get out there and get a life, so I'd like to join a gun club and hang out there.
I'd be willing to go through whatever training required to get it.

David, I have no idea yet. I'll get back to you on that.

Even if the stock n barrel r sawn off,
u still have a big, heavy, clumsy object to carry,
w/ small magazine capacity and a big kick.

Its not to my taste, but each to his ( or her ) own.

Yeah, me either, but if it's the only choice I have, I'll have to settle.

It's better than nothing.

It seems to me, that shotguns
are more effective home defense weapons, against burglars,
than self defense weapons from street robbers.

Thay r unwieldy, n slow to get into action;
( but then I 've never been much of a shotgun person ).

Even a compact a submachinegun ( like the 9mm H&K MP 5 KA4 ) is too bulky
to carry around all the time ( tho thay 'd be terrific home defense weapons ).

As a practical matter, reasonable convenience limits your choices
for daily personal defense to revolvers or automatics.
Revolvers are much more reliable, in my experience; faster too.
U don 't have to rack anything;
( and u don 't have to rotate magazines overnight to relax the follower spring ).

My own choice ( structurally similar to the LadySmith revolver )
is a .44 special stainless steel mirror ( with rubber grips ) 2 inch revolver,
loaded with hollowpointed slugs, for optimal stopping power,
with plenty of practice at the gunnery range.

The stainless steel finish is reputed to have
a better intimidation factor at night, against the bad guys.
