 What's better one take down here welcome back to another video today is simply going to be a fun video because we're going to be looking at some fire on myths here in Canada and kind of debunk them along the way. Let's get right into this. So the reason why I wanted to make this video is I'm in a bunch of Facebook groups and Reddit groups and I hear all the time at people especially from the United States that are coming over into Canada whether they're just coming over to travel for hunting purposes or whatever. And even people that live in Canada don't understand the firearm laws. So we're simply just going to have fun with this. So the first myth is you can transport any handgun anywhere you want. This is 100% false to take your handgun or restricted firearm anywhere in Canada. You need to have an ATT authorization to transport during transportation. The firearm must be locked in a container in the trunk, or if you do not have a trunk in your vehicle, it has to be out of sight. It also has to be equipped with a trigger lock and of course unloaded. For most people here in Canada, that is common sense when it comes to most firearms. But a lot of people from the United States don't understand those laws and don't understand that they apply to them whenever they cross over the border. They believe that they still, the laws that are in their area, those laws apply to them whether or not they're in the United States or they cross over in Canada and that is just not true. Here in Canada you can't just leave a handgun in your glove box and get away with it. If you get caught, you are going to be in a lot of trouble and of course even to possess a handgun or other restricted firearm, you have to have a firearms license. Not just anybody can go and purchase those type of guns. First you have to go and get your unrestricted firearms license and then if you want handguns or other restricted firearms, you have to on top of that take the restricted firearms safety course here in Canada to obtain your license to be able to not only carry those weapons but also be able to purchase those weapons as well. The next myth is I can keep a handgun at my bedside table. This is completely false as well. Owning a handgun for personal protection is not a legal reason for ownership here in Canada. Once you purchase a handgun, once home the handgun must be unloaded and fitted with a trigger safety guard. Once you purchase a handgun, once home the handgun must be unloaded and fitted with a trigger lock. It must then be locked in a vault safe or room built to store firearms safely. An ammunition must be stored separately. Again, these are common knowledge for most Canadians that are into firearms. However, a lot of people still believe in some of these myths. The next myth, it is easy to own a firearm here in Canada. That is true, kind of? To own a firearm here in Canada, first you must complete and pass either the unrestricted and or the restricted firearms safety course here in Canada and also pass both the written and the practical aspects for both of those courses. If you're looking to only be hunting and purchasing weapons to hunt with, all you need is the unrestricted firearms license. If you're looking for handguns and other restricted firearms, you need to not only get your unrestricted but you also need to get your restricted firearms license to be able to purchase those types of weapons. So the reason why I said it is easy to obtain firearms here in Canada is because it kind of is, you just have to do these steps, you have to get your license to obtain the kind of firearms that you want to before going into the store and trying to purchase them because you will not be able to go into a store here in Canada to purchase a firearm without your firearms license. I actually have somebody that I know that is from the United States that was traveling over here to Hunts and they thought that they were going to be able to go into the store without their Canadian firearms license and be able to purchase a firearm with just their ID and that just did not go well. That is not how we do things over here. You have to have a Canadian firearms license. Whenever I took both the unrestricted and restricted firearms safety course, there was a lot of people from the United States that were in that course taking it because they want to cross the border and do some hunting up here and they needed the firearms license to be able to do so. And the last myth in my opinion is the craziest and that is I can do whatever I want at the shooting range. This is absolutely false. In my opinion, this is real life. This is not GTA where you can just go and shoot whatever you want with whatever weapon you want. There is things that you have to do to be able to go to a shooting range to begin with. First, to be able to join a shooting range, you have to have your firearms safety license. That is in my opinion common sense, but a lot of people don't realize this. And by joining a shooting range, you agree to follow all of the safety rules that that shooting range has in place. Otherwise, you can get in a lot of trouble. Most people that own firearms here in Canada are responsible and they already know all of the rules of owning a firearm here in Canada. I just wanted to make this video talking about some of the myths that I keep seeing people posting online and especially our American friends who don't quite understand that some of those myths are completely false. You can't just cross over the border carrying a weapon and concealing a weapon. That's not going to go over well for you. If you do have a weapon in your vehicle, you always have to declare it. Or better yet, don't even try to cross the border with that weapon unless you're coming over for hunting purposes. If you have a handgun in your glove box and you're in the United States trying to cross over, even if you declare it, you're going to have a lot of issues crossing the border because that is just not allowed. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I hope you guys didn't take it too seriously. I just wanted to look at some myths that I keep seeing online and kind of debunk them for here in Canada. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I hope you guys had a nice laugh for it as well. I'll see you guys in the next video. Please take care. Peace.
