Handgun hunting in Canada

Has anyone brought a Contender to Canada to hunt with?

I was wondering how difficult (or expensive)it is to bring a handgun into Canada for a hunting trip.

Thanks for any current information,
Bob Scott

Sorry, totally illegal under our (extremely stupid) gun laws. I really wish they would change these particular rules, handgun hunting is a blast (only a small pun intended). - dan

The Government is the only authority allowed to hunt for handguns in Canada.

Darn it! I was really looking forward to a caribou hunt with the Contender. I was even getting ready to use it as an excuse to order a new .309 JDJ barrel. :-(

Now I have to come up with another excuse to buy one....

You guys need to throw those bums out of office. Put 'em to work in a hockey stick factory and replace them with some decent officials! ;-)

Take it easy,
