It's worse than Cali.
Coincidentally, my FOID renewal card arrived Saturday. It always gives me anxiety.
Open carry doesn't exist, you need 2 licenses for handguns, "assault weapons" are prohibited.
Transport of weapons can only happen within a locked case.
@Maw. How is an Assault Weapon defined?
@William Dinan That's the entire point of "Assault weapon"
@Maw I would think an Assault Weapon could only be truly established after an Assault?
@William Dinan Except that's not what assault weapon is, assault weapon isn't really even defined, that's the point.
I've never transported not in a locked case anyway. Some other of those features seem...uh...problematic for me though.
Beyond that, what's different about the licenses such that you need 2?
PAL and PAL-Restricted.
PAL-Restricted is handguns/concealable weapons.
And certain rifles.
I haven't delved too in-depth on PAL-R classification, I presume semi-automatic rifles are covered there.
@Maw. A hammer or Baseball Bat could be an Assault Weapon? In Theory?
Sounds artificially complicated in order to obscure selective control. Not unlike attempts in another country I can think of.
Though some semi-auto rifles probably aren't restricted either. I'm not entirely sure.
AR-15s were recently banned, and eventually will be enforced as mandatory buy-backs.
@Zuluzeit Personal Pronouns are Controlled in Canada. Why not Firearms?
@William Dinan Partially false.
Way to rain on my Canada fantasy, jerks.
Or just harassment in general.
@Maw partially True then?
Like 20% true?
Horrendously misleading.
@Maw. Got Ya! 80 % Liberty?
Hahaha 80% liberty
I didn't dig this Rabbit Hole @Zuluzeit
I mean, sure, we can call it that.
100% liberty would be pretty ridiculous.
I'm still giggling about the phrasing. Priceless.
@Maw. What percentage is acceptable?
I don't think of liberties in mathematical terms.
@Zuluzeit. I aim to Please...lol
@William Dinan, you just advanced to level 10!
That's why it's so funny tho.
I feel like there are cases "where your freedom ends where my rights begin".
@Maw. You assigned the percentage.
I assigned it to truthfulness.
