Small, easily concealed handguns, sawed-off shotguns, and all automatic weapons are "prohibited weapons" as defined in the Criminal Code. Larger handguns are "restricted weapons" and require lots of hoops. cordially, as always, rm

Find a news account of a hunter being killed by a polar bear then. You can doubt, but I'll just be laughing at your ignorance. >> The usual gun available is one intended for seal hunting. > >Given that polar bears are a federally protected species, we would You are a *total* idiot! Look up what the laws are rather than spouting off silliness. There are polar bears shot within a few miles of my home every year. Across the Arctic coast of Alaska there are dozens of polar bears taken each year. The reason seal guns are used is because people are commonly out hunting seals when they come across a handy polar bear to shoot. For any given hunter that only happens once in many months, so there is no reason to spend big bucks on a gun specifically for bears. They just shoot it with the seal gun. I know of polar bears killed with a .218 Bee, and virtually every 22 caliber available (including 22LR rimfire). >hope so. In any case, nobody would shoot a seal with a .22 either >unless they had to. The *prefered* weapon for seal hunting is a 22 caliber, including the .218 Bee in years past. -- Floyd L.

Using smaller than expected calibre rifles to shoots dangerous big game. The 0�600 Nitro Express was, as you point out, designed as "an elephant gun", that does not preclude those who can, using a smaller calibre to shoot either elephants or other dangerous animals that may be bigger than the person shooting them. -- Two Ravens "...hit the squirrel..."

But all of these guns are much, much, more powerful than a .22. cordially, as always, rm |
