What handguns are allowed in Canada my gf and I have talked about moving to Calgary because she got a decent job offer there. I currently own 3 1911's Sig 229, 226, 220, FNP45, and 2 AR15's m4 style. I also own a Benelli M4 with fixed stocked, and a USC converted to a UMP SBR. Is there any of these that are restricted? Also how is the cost of living? Crime, jobs? |

First off, you as a firearms owner need to be registered. You will need to take a course and pass a test, submit your paperwork and undergo a background check to obtain a PAL license (possession and acquisition). All handguns with a barrel length of 105mm (4.15 inches) and greater, and not of .25 or .32 cal are good to go. Anything shorter or of those calibres is prohib . Your AR's and Benelli are good to go as well, but for handguns and AR's (restricted class) you will need a restricted PAL. Two classes of license exist; Non Restricted (long guns and shotguns basically), Restricted (handguns and evil black guns basically), Check out the CFC website; http://www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca/default_e.asp Calgary is booming due to the oil business so COL is high, but Alberta in general has lower taxes than other provinces (oil revenues...) and good quality of life. And I think the H&K might be prohib, but would have to look into it. |
The HK is just restricted due to barrel lenght |
except in the cases where the rifles can use pistol magazines, in wich case, you can legally insert your 10rounder pistol mag in your rifle without the fear of doing 5 years in jail. Also, Garands are not restricted in magazine capacity. |
Well now you're just getting technical...

Your ar-15 can have a 10 round pistol clip... And ya; doesn't leave room for a lot of fun, lol.... Plus here we have a bunch of "INTERESTING" laws, 90% are just stupid!!! They would make anyone fall on the floor laughing... I know I do... |
