Greetings Everyone, I live in Canada where (unfortunately) concealed & carry permits are tougher to get then having a personal tour of the prime minister's house. I believe that everyone has the right to bear arms and defend him & herself against any and all threats. Also, the price of centerfire pistols are a lot more than in the US. I have done some checking into my local laws and found that one can apply for a carry permit but the reason you are applying for one must be either you are in grave and imminent danger or by some miracle are the Chief Firearms Officer's first child. (That last bit was a joke). I have talked with family members, who have traveled to the US, and have come back with some pretty awesome stories. One being, (in Arizona maybe?), where some morons attempted to hold up a store. With the public allowed to conceal & carry, the moron made his way outside to find himself in front of a firing squad. The public held him till the authorities arrived and apprehended him. That is a great result of the public being allowed to carry. I've also heard of locals, (to the US) sharing stories where crime doesn't happen hardly at all in a place where people have the right to carry. Wicked awesome I say, and up here in Canada, I, we, should be able to do the same!
