Didn't get a deer with my handgun.

Man you guys are so easy. Kudo's to Duffy for actually educating himself on the law and using it as written. If more guys got out there and used the law to the full extent we'd have a much easier time legalizing handgun hunting again. Imagine the fields full of RRH hands, MNR would get used to it and there would be less flak from the civi's, "What do you mean it's dangerous, hunters have been using RRH for the last 5 years taking game with no problems so why would any other handgun pose a problem?" Much easier to sit on your ass as criticize what you think is illegal. BTW it is a handgun if you can shoot it with one hand as far as I'm concerned.
ANY gun can be fired ONE handed... So, according to you, ALL guns are handguns?
Seems logical to me, NOT!

Firstly I could not access that information, need to be on the list apparently.
If it is as you say then they do not say it is not a handgun. They do say it is a rifle. LOL
I have not agreed with a lot of the ignorant classifications those guys have made over the years and I disagree with them here.
Gunslinger has got it.
They have opened a "loop hole" and I walked through it. I have always wanted to hunt with a handgun and now I can. When remington brought out their R15 varmint rifle, I figured they knew what they were doing. The feds classified it as a restricted assault rifle. I knew right then that the bozos didn't know what they were talking about. My ranch hand came in a factory box that says "This is a handgun" and when I look at it I see it clearly is. If the feds say Duh! no it isn't, that is fine with me I will now hunt with my legal handgun.
Or you'd freak 'em both out and they'd demand a total ban on them.
Socialist civi's seem to get their way, these days.
I don't think cowboys whoopin' it up with their short shootin' irons, would go over well.
The US authorities consider it to be a handgun.
If you do as well, good for you!
Actually, I agree with you. It is a handgun. And if I'd been in the office when the thing was submitted for classification, I would have labelled it a handgun. Restricted.
Push hard enough, and maybe the Queen's Cowboys will change their mind about it.
A RRH being used for hunting would be used just about the same way that a pistol would be used for hunting. The same techniques would have to be used. Which would probably not include one handed shooting. Closest thing to handgun hunting available here. Gunslinger has a point - if these were used regualrly for hunting big game, it could make the handgun hunting argument easier to sell.
You started this thread in Hunting and Sporting Arms. Want it moved to Pistols and Revolvers?

Yea i guess eh, i did get to shoot a 500 magnum on a trip to the states.
It was kinda a cannon.
So point well taken
But why when you have a rifle for moose would you want to ?
lol.
You're being intentionally obtuse. Furthermore, logic doesn't enter the topic when firearms and Canadian classification of them is being discussed. Case in point if you purchase a Rem XP100 it is classified as restricted and you can never change it into a non restricted rifle even though it's nothing more than a Rem Model 7 action in pistol format, according to the RCMP it will always be a pistol, then there's the TC Contender as another example. Trouble is you're falling hook line and sinker for the classification system, we will never change things until folk start looking at firearms for what they are and not dividing them into classifications. The same goes for "silencers", until people get it into their heads they're nothing more than sound moderators/suppressors and starting to look for ways to get to use them legally (they're nothing more than hearing safety devices) and push for it we will never get to enjoy them. Push the envelope, push, push, push!
Suppressors would be nice at times when you are just shooting at the range to get in more shooting, or when dispatching nuisance predators and varmints around home. Personally I would love being able to shoot hundreds of rounds in a day without wearing muffs and not damaging my, or anyone else's, hearing.
I actually don't know why they are prohibited, do they make firearms dangerous in their eyes? Criminals don't care about laws, so what is their reasoning for prohibiting suppressors?

Says who? Your local gun dealer with a rack full of 300 win mags behind him?
May I remind those conversing that the OP titled the thread:
Didn't get a deer with my handgun.
Followed by:
I was hoping to shoot a deer with my handgun this fall but never got the opportunity. I had a moose licence so usually had my rifle in hand but a few times I sat in a spot where I might get a close shot at a deer so I had my rossi ranch hand in my mitts and my rifle leaning close by if I needed a longer shot.
... he painted a pretty incriminating sounding post from the start, whether its law abiding or not.
