I have an AR-15 and was thinking of doing the same thing. You just never know when you may have to tackle some bank robbers or get inadvertently caught in gang war crossfire.

I think you Canadians should wonder about other things like the near implosion of your government run healthcare system. If one were to have the unfortunate chance of being shot or get any condition requiring immediate medical assistance than he or she would have to wait between 12 and 20 hours in an ER waiting room before being seen by a doctor. Oncology (cancer treatment) facilities are so backed up that many patients die on the waiting lists.
So, you can criticize Americans for our gun toting ways but ill carry my gun and i hope other Americans do too because they way i see it, id rather die in a shootout than on some hospital waiting list.

Us Canadians are wondering why you need to carry a weapon? Do you have some ex girlfriends out to get you?
Everything is about freedom, our constitutional right as an american and what this country was founded about, "right of the people to keep and bear Arms" is our right to have guns, not a privilege...
Does it explain why you should have this right?
And what other rights would the modern American expect if amendments were made!?

This will not become an argument over gun laws.
