You are a COMPLETE risk to society...so why the hell did we let you into Canada;)

Welcome to the country and welcome back to shooting!

First gun...how about a CZ shadow:D

Well, without having too many emotional flash-backs.....
Pistols: Sig 226; Glock 17,20,21; Desert Eagle 357; Colt Officers 45; Colt 1911A1; Colt Gold Cup 45 semi-race gun; Colt Delta Elite; Beretta 92F; Browning Hi-Power
Wheelguns: S&W 586 6"; Colt Python 4,6,8"; S&W 29 6 1/2 and 8 3/8.

I think that's about it, obviously not owned all at the same time! Have shot a fair bit of other stuff too.


all I can say is THANK GOD THE LIBERALS GOT ENIOLATED IN THE LAST ELECTION!!!!! Or this could have played out in Canada!

Welcome! My father moved our family to Canada from Newcastle when I was 7, I started shooting when I was 8 and have owned guns ever since (I'm in my forties). I make a point of thanking my father for moving here on a regular basis, I hope things work out as well for you and your family as they did for ours.
 
Hi Robert. The citizenship form is very easy compared to the permanent residence form. :D


enefgee, I love Canada but will always miss Newcastle and the North East in general. You may not understand this, but you gained a lot and you lost a lot. ;) It doesn't matter where you live, you are still a Geordie. lol!
 
I'm happy that you chose Canada and Alberta in particular. Certain elements in the Ontario government have declared warfare on legal gun owners.

Think seriously about joining one of the Canadian activist gun organizations. If you plan to enter the U.S. with a firearm--which is possible, consider joining the American NRA.
 
Hi RobBruce and welcome to Canada! My cousin has done the same thing. He and his wife are from the Manchester area and have been here for a year or so now.

I recommend a HK USP Tactical 9mm or .45acp

Again, thanks everyone for the very warm welcome.

I'm glad to hear Citizenship is easier - and hopefully quicker! It was a really hard choice to leave the UK, and we very nearly went back several times in the first few months. Things have started to settle down now and we're really beginning to enjoy the Canadian way of life.

However, y'all can't make proper beer, tea or chocolate! cou:

If we have a bad day, we pack up the dogs and hit Kananaskis for a few hours :) Or, obviously, go for a shoot!

Now, I just need my RPAL!!

Welcome to Canada! i like glock, but its a bit bulky, however very reliable. Sig 226 is a good pick, get one already to go for IPSC (sponsors up top) and you will be happy in IDPA.

Fortunately, there are some good micro-breweries on this side of the pond, although admittedly it is difficult to get good beer/ale served at the right temperature. Tea? Ironically, I order my Taylors of Harrogate via Amazon US (my gf lives just across the line) as Amazon.ca doesn't offer it to the colonies, the uncivilized b**tards. And for the last word on chocolate, find a copy of "Chocolate, the Consuming Passion" by Sandra Boynton. You can't eat it but you'll have a larff.

Should you ever force yourself a little further west and find yourself adrift out here in the Fraser Valley, be sure to drop into The Old Clayburn Store in Clayburn village, just outside Abbotsford, for lunch. No alcohol licence, alas, although if they did they'd probably have Adnams on tap, but proper English tea (or real coffee in a French press), proper handmade sandwiches, Cornish pasties and pies, and the other half of the store is an old-fashioned candy store, stuffed with goodies you haven't seen since you left Blighty.

Oh, I nearly forgot: "Welcome to CGN".

:) Stuart
