Best I can tell, it depend on who owns the store, and what demographic they have.
We have 4 Canadian Tires in my city. Of the 2 that I shop at, you will see different company names on the receipts.
The one in the North End, closer to the rural demographics, sells hunting rifles, and usually has more shooting supplies on the shelves all year round.
The one in the South end, closer to the urban demographics, does not sell hunting rifles, and only has all their shooting supplies out seasonally.
For example, I live in the South end, the kid has to go into the back warehouse to get me a box of clay or paper targets. North has them on the shelf all year round.
It seems the owners have a bit of choice as to what they want to sell. If you live in a more gun friendly area, I'm not surprised to see more options.
