You will need to join one before acquiring a handgun for target use as required in most provinces.

Look there's no need to bulls**t, yes, safe shooting sports, safe gun handling, properly secured, etc etc. but should my families lives be threatened...

I got my first handgun before i was a member of any range.
Pretty sure he is... who cares otherwise.
As you said also, grab what you can shoot the best. Missed shots dont counts when protecting your family. For me, it's 9mm.

Whatever you want but definitely something reliable so don't cheap out and probably mount a good light/ laser on it. Since you are rural, a nice pump action shotgun might be what the doctor ordered for those pesky " coyotes". Those sharp eared critters usually scatter when they hear that distinctive racking sound especially at night!

Read his info guys, his profile clearly states that he is in Manitoba. Useless posts could be avoided with a little basic observation.
Hand guns are tricky, without constant practice it is a deteriorating skill. Just owning a hand gun will not equate to sucessful home defense. You need to go to the range and practice at least twice a month. Shooting 10 rounds because your previous 9 rounds didn't hit will likely be a very very hard self defense case make!
1: Get a good quality .22, get fundamentals training from a pro, train on your own twice a month, make sure your groups are small and stay small.
2: Buy a good biometric hand gun speed safe, I recommend speedvault.
3: Then invest in a good quality firearm of a stronger calibre, don't cheap out on chinese imitations. Good brands are sigs, glocks, ruger, cz, springfield, smith and wesson, jericho. (there are a few more but can't think of them right now)
4: Calibre doesnt really matter, but get a calibre you are consistantly accurate with.
5: Get aftermarket grips and sights that correspond to your hands and eyes.
6: Buy quality bulk ammo, it is important that you train on the same ammo that you will potentially use given a self defense situation. Do not buy bulk ammo for training and then assign quality ammo for self defense, really bad idea. If you train on bulk ammo use bulk ammo in self defense.
