Shawn gets a Canadian on his show and immediately gives him a new SIG in the box. Incredible.

[@ryanburbridge]

That sig will be full of corrosion before the end of the show. Love and carry sig. but they are trash at the moment. No excuse for what they are putting out on the market. But yeah really cool to see crimes filmed and posted to social media. I think all victimless crimes should be transgressed at once.

[@sbuyce1]

@@ryanburbridge I’ve been carrying a p365 since they came out, not any corrosion on mine. Now my M&p shield is another story, slide got corrosion quick but my M&p 45 is still like new. Idk

[@simonnizerontheroad]

Shawn clearly mentioned it was a gift coming from a friend at Sig. Also the irony is that with the new laws our totalitarian government has passed in the last year, he wouldn’t even be able to bring it back to Canada, even as a jtf2.

There isnt much out there about his service so it would be really cool to have a place to see him talk about it. There is also a really cool picture out there where he is with some guys and he is towering over them. Great video!

[@corydukart8062]

Sad truth is illegal to carry any blade for protection in Canada . If you are asked why you carry a knife and you say for protection it will be confiscated.

[@kindcanadian5825]

Maybe if you live in a large city on the southern border. Rural communities you can walk around with a machete on your belt nobody will say shit.

[@cooman77]

Incorrect. You can carry a pocket knife in public anywhere in Canada. It just can’t be a switch blade or anything that opens without assistance

[@ravenstarver1360]

Cory is correct. You can't usually legally carry anything for self defense against people, anywhere in Canada. It's in the criminal code, becomes a weapon by definition. It's got to be carried for a lawful purpose as a tool, for defense against animals, to play baseball with etc, then if the need arises it can legally be used as a weapon of opportunity. Even pepperspray can only be sold for defense against dogs and bears. There's some exceptions, security guards, police, supposedly there's a law on the books for someone to get a permit in exceptional cases for personal protection, not sure if any issued. And of course Trudeau's bodyguards carry whatever guns they want 🙄

[@stevenlaxton3618]

I always say it's not illegal to carry whatever type of "can opener" you want....just incase you get lost and find canned food right 😉 if you're ever asked why you used it as in self defense if it's a can opener ask the cop or judge if they've ever used a butter knife for a screw driver or a crescent wrench as a hammer....

[@drewwhite4354]

I've had a P365 X Macro for the last 4 months. I absolutely love it. Tremendous gun, perfect for everyday carry. The ONLY complaint I have is that the play on the front of the trigger is rather long, but because the weapon doesn't have a manual safety, I don't mind it. All you need now is a Holosun 507k GR and an Icarus Precision all-aluminum grip! Tremendous gift, Sean.

[@kylevodden19]

Absolute warrior for our country, the show was surreal and puts thing into perspective. And really love when a jtf2 operator and a navy seal operator shake hands. Shows that both our countries are bonded for life. Thanks Shawn for that. Dallas and the boys make me proud of our country and what they sacrifice for our freedom

[@AnelTheFirst]

I live in Sweden and we basically can't even carry a knife. Discovered the show about a week ago and been listening to a bunch of episodes. Love what you are doing. Many cool and inspiring people and storys. Keep up the good work and all the best.

[@RobertoNasciment]

Im sure that the guys that came to Sweden recently are law abiding citizens and they don't carry their knives out in public, cutting each other, because of the laws preventing carrying knives.

Technically in Canada you can't carry anything with the express purpose of self defense. If you do they consider it a weapon and you can get charged. If you carry a "utility knife" for opening letters and packages, you're in the clear.

That’s so insane, they’re not allowing people to protect themselves? That’s what Police is for? If someone stabs you in the back or holds a knife to your throat you can’t say “time out let me call the police” life doesn’t work like that. That assailant is gunna hit you with that knife like it’s HAMMER TIME. You have to have an option to be able to have a tool whether it’s a knife or handgun to fight back.

It is *technically* possible to get what’s called an “authorization to carry” up here in Canada, but it’s incredibly incredibly rare, usually for fur trappers up north and even more rarely, people in witness protection or things such as that.

[@heartandmindovercome3214]

So dumb

[@FIORGOBASAUDEAMUS]

People in witness protection no..Trappers and prospectors can get the carry in only certian calibre. Also, certian jobs one can carry.

[@M7Hart]

As a fur trapper up north. I can attest to the fact most of us settle for .22 long rifles that break down into a backpack now. It's not worth the hassle to get and maintain the authorization and hasn't been for about 15-20 years. 😢. Sad because my grandfather has been cornered in the snow with a backpack full of meat and nothing but his 9 shooter .22 revolver. It saved his life that day. He had to jump from WI fall to windfall through 4 ft of snow in the bush, being cjased by the pack, meat on his back for bait, a brush axe, and on snowshoes. I guarantee you the snowshoes helped with snow but sucked on the fallen trees. And also that the axe was more burden than protection at the time. A rifle would never have been a nimble enough weapon that day. These days we have to have the permits for it just to own the revolver at all still. It can not be passed on and will be melted down by the govt when he dies. He could get the permits but they aren't cheap and he's retired. And end of the day he doesn't track through the buch for meals with a backpack full of meat in his 80s but he still does trap. The gun would have to be fully authorized Firstly for use. Secondly it would have to be trigger locked and in a metal case, which is also locked until we reached the trap line where our harvesting rights are. At that point he is the only person allowed to lay a finger on it or any ammo for it whatsoever. And must be very specifically attended to also. You can't just put it on your hip and open carry. It has to stay in the box until use, though can be unlocked to make thus easier. At that point the time opening a box would be better used loading a rifle.....

My EDC is a Glock 17. Recently purchased a 43X simply because I have never owned a single stack. I absolutely love this 43X. I have big hands and the 17 isn't a problem to grip but the way my hands wrap around the 43X is just so much more controlling. Wish Glock would offer all pistols in a single stack or double stack. Wish Glock would also figure out how to get 17 rounds in a slim mag. 43X shoots just as well as my 17. Fits just about anywhere. I have tried both the SIG and S&W pistols and in my opnion the Glock just feels better. To each his own I guess.

[@Snowdog070]

I guess its been said here already but just to make it clear, you can only carry a knife suitable in all of the environmental circumstances and only for an expressed purpose other than self defense. Therefore in an urban environment you could only carry a small, typical pocket knife as it could be argued that its purpose is clearly not self defense. You could use it if required for self defense but the mere fact that you carry it would not be considered an offense and you should never say that is its purpose. Similarly, in a hunting situation back in the bush you can have an open-carried buck knife 8 inches long on your belt because it is reasonable in the circumstances to do so but don't be walking in Toronto with it on your belt. It will be a short walk before the local constabulary is notified and you're taken downtown. No concealed or open-carry sidearms may be carried without a "ATC" Authorization to Carry and those are like hens teeth. Not happening.

[@rebeccapelegrin7898]
