    This is also why I am going for my firearms license this year.

    And once I have it, an FN-P90 with full-sized magazines. Plus something decently portable and long-range. Because if they cross the border in force - and America has had invasion plans refreshed every decade since WWII - I intend to make their occupation as painful as possible. We’ll definitely lose and be fully occupied - 40M vs 134M is no contest - but asymmetrical warfare can be exceedingly effective against a larger (and arrogant) aggressor.

    Who’s with me in getting their license to practice at the range with?

        It’s a one day course to take, then once you pass the exam it’s about 6 months to get it approved, then you can just walk into Canadian Tire and then walk out with a rifle.

        You have to finish a licensed class and pass the tests they give you, then you apply to the government and wait about a month to get your PAL in the mail assuming you pass the background checks.
