Haha, I was wondering why they sold the sks' near me with the cosmo already cleaned off. it's possible they caught wind of that incident, or were educated enough to avoid that problem

Crappy Tire in Newmarket and Aurora does not carry guns at all other than airsoft and BB guns, they do however carry over priced ammo at these locations.

Wait, that happened here in Sudbury? I thought that happened somewhere else in the country -- unless it occurred here as well. That would explain why I saw no SKSs there when I passed by the gun section (New Sudbury location).
The two CT stores fairly local to me that carry guns both have semis. One has SKS and 10/22 rifles, and the other has a lot more such as an M305, Benelli M4, ISSC .22 SCAR, PPS-50, Mossberg 715T, among others.
Here in Victoria, 3 stores don't carry any guns and one started with 1 cabinet but has ordered 3 more, larger, cabinets due to the positive response. The nearest club has been very supportive of the gun sales. Prices are about 10 points off full retail, and since we only have 2 other gun stores in Victoria, one of which uses a dart board to set it's prices, they're doing quite well.
The CT near me is just a hole in the wall. It is dated and there is stuff scattered everywhere but they do have a tonne of handgun ammo including 9mm Barnaul for $16 a box and l&b for $18. In the display cabinet there is a couple of SKSs, a Mossberg Silver Reserve, a couple of Churchills and most interesting a couple of short barrel Henry Mare's Legs.
What's interesting is that the short barrel Mare's Leg in the U.S would be consider a SBR if the Henry did not classify it as a handgun. I guess Canada still considers it a short barrel rifle which is perfectly legal here if the firearm was manufactured that way. I just think it is funny that this CT is selling a product that has on the box, in bold letters "this is a handgun". I was thinking of picking one up just to say that I bought a handgun from a CT and didn't have to register it or arrange an ATT. Canada, our laws and Canadian Tire. Lol

I heard this in reference to the South End location.
There never really sold guns like SKS's in Sudbury CT's for the longest time. They never sold guns at all in the South End Store.
Then all of a sudden last year, the did some reno's and expanded their sports department. Next thing you know, BAM, SKS's galore.
I got wind of the full auto story. The info could be mistaken, but the SKS's did dissapear off the South End shelf promptly after.
I wasn't surprised at all. Old military guns like that, you kind of have to know what your doing to maintain them properly.

Given what I've seen on the used gun racks here in Sudbury, I'd say more than a few kind of don't know what they're doing
