    I want to but here in America-Lite it's much harder and the SRA isn't up here :(

        Yeah but I don't feel comfortable going to a licensing place alone since firearm culture is chuddy here as well.

          You're not the only leftist in Canada. It's very possible to find someone around you who isn't a shitbag who can help you

            Yeah, my current social circle doesn't have gun people in it so I guess that's something worth looking for in the future.

              Unless you're urban, you could definitely find a hunting friend. Lots of folks eat venison for the winter, no matter their politics.

                  Guess you'll just have to find someone who hunts pigs.

                      It's a very real problem and it's only a matter of time before they move on Winnipeg.

          You need to know who is the wacko stockpilling ammo to loot him

          Ah yeah, I live in a very reactionary area I get you, if you can bring a friend and fake being a chud (not be racist or anything of course but dress up like one and kinda all together avoid politics) it usually makes things smoother

            That'll be kinda hard since I'm a trans woman and I don't pass at all.

              I don't know about Canada but in the US you would walk out with a gun and just be a "funny" anecdote they tell their chud friends, especially if you go to a more corporate place. Workers don't keep their jobs and businesses don't stay in business by being confrontational with their clientel. It's why Sacha Baron Cohen can make them look like fools so easily. I guarantee you I could put on Dahmer glasses and joker laugh the entire transaction and get a gun right now after drinking half a bottle of tequila. Just act like a normal person and you'll be fine even if you are a little nervous.

            Like a course.

            There are other issues as well since I want to get my legal name changed soon and I still live with parents who will definitely freak out if I came home with a gun.

              Well in Canada you can't really get a handgun for personal protection, so maybe see about something else?

                Yeah I don't plan on using guns for any personal protection but I think it would be a useful skill to know.

      So what? They don't do anything. The SRA despite the name isn't a socialist organization
