This statement is exactly why you need to take both courses. After you take both courses you'll realize how absurd this statement is.

Imagine that....somebody who openly admitted he was new to guns in his first post by writing "I'm new to the world of firearms" and was asking which course he should take.

What was the point of your post, other than to mock somebody who wasn't born into such great knowledge as when you were born?

What he's trying to say is don't tell anybody you want a handgun to protect your family. Just don't. Never say it again. You want a handgun to participate in the great sport of target shooting. Remember that.

Well that broke down quickly..

Gr8ness - I don't believe StouffvilleGuy meant any offence, but his post was a little lacking in tact.

He is correct, however - Protection is not a valid reason to own a restricted firearm in Canada. If you use that as your reason, your license will be denied. Once you learn about our storage and transportation laws, you'll find that it's pretty difficult to store it legally and with easy, quick access; our laws are specifically designed to prevent quick, easy access to restricted firearms.

Just to be perfectly clear, it IS a valid reason according to the law, but not according to the bureaucrats. The bureaucrats are permitted to trump the law.

That's an understatement lol. Finesse has never been my thing, but thank you for recognizing what my underlining point was.

My comment had no ill intention, I truly don't want him being screwed over in both the licensing process or in a real world situation where a handgun would be useless.

I over reacted. I interpreted your post as one of a sarcastic tone. I was wrong. I apologize. I truly know nothing about guns, and I really just want to learn as much about them as possible.
And I appreciate you taking the time to explain yourself, and not jumping down my throat for my over reacting.

I hope you guys can forgive a newb who's just trying to learn as much as humanly possible on this subject.

Cheers.

Thank you for the clarification.
