I'm pretty sure most of Canada is rural as shit and has like bears and giant moose and stuff. I'd probably want a gun in that environment. I cant really comment for real though, im in the UK and the wilderness is tame as fuck here.

    Too many of these gusy move to a rural tourist town, 2hr drive from the city, or move to a mining town...and start to think of themselves as lone libertarian survivalists that hate 'city-idiots'. There are very few people in Canada that actually live remotely or in the bush off-grid. Most of these guys have no interest in environmental issues, studying nature, and are just obsessed with owning guns and trucks.
