Hello From Toronto

Hello,
I came across this forum in an article in The Washington Post.
\I am a Canadian-American dual citizen actively involved in the gun rights movement in both these countries. Also, I am a certified range safety officer and a certified tactical pistol instructor.I can carry an concealed handgun in about 34 U.S. States, but this right was taken away in Canada about thirty-five years ago. It still exists on paper, but anti-gun bureaucrats keep it impossible to implement.
I am anxious to work with my Indian colleagues to secure the right to equalized self-defense in The U.S., Canada, and now India. I will be reading this forum every day, learning and helping, if possible.

Hi Shooter.
No. I have my provincial small-game licence and I got a deer tag for this season. But, with my spinal arthritis, I didn't relish sitting in the icy cold at 5AM waiting for the deer that never comes. BTW, I would use my Chinese SKS with iron sights, which is just about right for deer and smaller game in heavily wooded Ontario. Maybe next fall, if I could outfit myself with a nice blind keep a little bit warm, I might reconsider.
BTW, as a resident of Toronto, I have a number of friends from India. For example, my neighbour is from Gujarat, we have friends from Goa, and I'm still in touch with an ex-student of mine from Tamil-Nadu.
