"Unlike our American neighbours to the south, we don't have a right to own them. I think we should" My rights come from God and not from government. I may be thrown in jail, by a tyrant government, for asserting my rights but I still have the right none the less. Since the Charter of Rights and Freedoms Preamble states: "Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law." and since they cannot show me a document, signed by God, that grants them authority over me and the rights given to me by God, then they are my equal, not my master.
@canadianoperator 15 сағат бұрын
To be frank, rights, at least the way we understand them, don’t actually exist. If a”God” wanted you to have them, you would. And they’d be actual rights and not temporary privileges, because rights can’t be arbitrarily taken away.

I had my RPAL but dropped it for a few reasons. 1- a handgun is useless in Canada! My brother owned 250 acres but could not fire his pistol on his own land. 2- if you have a PAL and the RCMP want to inspect your storage facilities, they must give you notice, but if you have an RPAL they can inspect anytime without warning. 3- if you use a handgun to defend your home, it is likely you will be punished more than the home invader!
@canadianoperator 15 сағат бұрын
Have to disagree here. Despite the current legislation, handguns and the RPAL are not useless. It only depends on your use case and whether it’s practical for you. The RCMP can’t just show up and search your property. They need either reasonable grounds to believe you are a danger to someone, which would have had to have been reported, or a search warrant. In both cases, they’d need to be able to articulate why they wanted to search. Lastly, if you use any firearm to defend your home you are liable under the law based on interpretation of section 33/34 by a judge. That has nothing to do with whether you have an RPAL or not.

Even the renewals for PALs are slow. The RCMP site approved my renewal back in February and I still haven't received it , phone support says "It should arrive any day now but hasn't shipped yet" . Last time it was the card printer and the time before it was short staff. Do they have an excuse jar and just pick a new excuse to use every year ?

I came across your channel and am curious. I am curious as to your gun laws up there. Do your gun laws change from province to province like down in the United States or are they the same across the country? I am actually surprised to see a channel about guns from Canada because I was under the assumption that your federal laws are essentially not in support of the citizens of Canada owning firearms. I hope I am way off in my assumption but judging by you and your channel, clearly I am wrong unless you are in an underground bunker off the grid somewhere in the Yukon territory with a fake name. All jokes aside, I gave you a sub. I will support every American, Canadian as well as anyone in the free world the right to own a gun. Cheers from Arizona! BTW, nice video!
@canadianoperator 19 сағат бұрын
Thank you for the sub :) Really apostate that. So, this made me chuckle a bit. Of course we appreciate the solidarity from our brothers and sisters to the south. As for our laws, they are federal. Keeps things simple. Our firearms program is enforced by the RCMP (the Mounties, the federal police) and this is how we get our licenses and various paperwork. There are a number of different organizations around Canada that provide the training, but the training is identical as are the requirements and licenses. As for being up in the Yukon in an underground bunker with a fake name - I can neither confirm nor deny. 🤔 Thanks for watching!

RPALs are useless unless you have access to a range and a membership, which is near impossible to get unless you know somebody. I’ve tried in 3 different provinces and the wait times for range memberships was probably longer than to get a license. Not to mention the restricted category includes many rifles that are clearly non restricted. It’s a matter of principle to not own registered firearms. I wasn’t adult durring the time when registration was brought in for non restricted but I’ll never own or register a firearm myself.
@canadianoperator 19 сағат бұрын
I disagree. Wilderness protection, pest management, hunting, recreational shooting, competitive shooting… many reasons to have a PAL. The reason there are waiting times to join ranges and clubs is because they’re in demand. I waited 9 months to join one, and 6 to join another. That’s not bad at all. So, just because your experience didn’t lend itself to being practical, doesn’t mean that RPALs are useless.

Also if you do own restricted firearms and you are living with a partner he or she should also have their RPAL whenever restricted firearms are present in the dwelling where you both live. As a RPAL licence holder you can write a letter for your common law or spouse to say these restricted firearms are on loan to he or she so they can take them to the range as well provided they have the RPAL licence.

In my experience copper bullets in general need to be fired in a perfectly clean barrel. For some reason the lead and gilding metal from jacketed projectiles has an adverse effect on accuracy. That goes for rimfires and center fires alike. If you're going to use a lead free bullet then it needs to be from a clean barrel. If you fire lead then you will need to clean the barrel before switching back to lead free.
@canadianoperator Күн бұрын
That’s an interesting take, but in that case only your first round would be accurate. Copper still fouls the barrel, just not nearly as much as lead. Not to mention fouling from gasses and propellant. Interesting theory though. Perhaps worth testing more.
