When I grew up in the country during the 80's, we'd go to the dump and shoot stuff. A buddy had a double barrel shotgun.. when you'd shoot, it'd be like somebody punching you in the shoulder.
I later shot guns.. got a job driving armored car in the early 2000's. So I got a restricted handgun licence, here in Canada. I don't think you can get those anymore around here.
Once I left that job, I let the licence expire. Could have bought a handgun, but you'd wind up in trouble, in jail. Somebody could wind up dead. I was like.. naw.
But yeah.. I just looked up:
"can you still get a handgun license in canada"
Cause I think I heard in the news in recent months.. you can't any more!
"Yes, a Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) is still needed to own and use firearms, including handguns, in Canada. However, there's a national freeze on the sale, purchase, or transfer of handguns by individuals, and on bringing newly acquired handguns into Canada"
Fuck, are they ever getting super uptight with that shit. Meanwhile, over the border in the US, it's like the wild west.
But yeah.. when I had that job, I was shooting a 38 special, so like a revolver. Didn't learn like the glock or type with a magazine in the end, like the movies. I don't know how those work.
But the 6 cylinder, I got the hang of that. At first, it was like.. off target, but that's cause you're pulling the trigger and it moves it over. You gotta squeeze the trigger a bit, re-line the sight, and then do the shot. Passed the bullseye target tests.
Also shot this Remington shotgun they'd have in the cab. You'd have like 5 shots in the barrel.. That was really soft recoil compared to the double barrel at the dump. That pump-action shotgun was nice too. Gotta watch it on the target though that none of the little bullets go off it cause somebody else could get hit.

But yeah guns.. I know what you mean.
