I think whom ever has a hand gun license should be able to carry a gun.
This pretty much says it all...

ACtually...that kind of says nothing. Unless you are implying the law says I can so I do.
Well since you live in Canada it's kind of a moot point isn't it?
I think it's you have to be above a certain age (definately 18 or higher to buy one, but only 16 or higher to use one if I remember right), no criminal record, and you need to go through some training and pass a course or test. ANd as far as I know, no automatic weapons, handguns, or shotguns that can fire more than 4 rounds before reloading (really, anything that might be considered a combat weapon with no use for hunting). You also can't carry them around in public, but no hand guns and you aren't exactly going to carry a rifle around in public.What are the gun laws like there?
The second amendment is old, but it's to protect the right of the public to bear arms to allow for the formation of a militia if the government becomes obstinate. That was it's intention. You can make as many laws as you want to keep them out of criminals hands (which doesn't work) but the instant you try to take away the right of the public at large to bear arms it's unconstitutional, period. There is no room for argument, at least not acording to US law.

I live in the UK. I am interested in pistol design and marksmanship. I used to own and use six pistols. That was outlawed and I had to hand them in. [We were financially compensated] The handgun crime rate doubled.
You are statistically more likely to be shot by the gun stored in your own house than one brought onto the premises by someone else.
Private gun ownership has no place in a civilized society.
Private gun ownership is absolutely essential in a uncivilized society.
It depends on where you live I guess.
