You can own a fair number of guns but carry restrictions are VERY strict.
You cannot even stop for gas on the way to the range.
There are 3 levels of licences
PAL and POL- Possession and acquisition or Possession only (can't buy any more)

Restricted-handguns and a few "evil but not to evil" semi autos.

Prohibited -if you had a legal full auto before they were banned is the only way you will ever get this. Some serving military might have it. As owners age the few remaining and usually very historically important weapons are scrapped or dewatted. When they come for your rights this is how they will do it. Divide and conquer. Short handguns like most Para ordnance which ironically are or used to be made in Canada are prohibs as are Socom 16's. The FN FAL semi auto is a .308 semi auto battle rifle and is a prohib. The Norinco M-305 or Springfield M1(Semi M14)
is a .308 semi auto battle rifle which can be bought with a simple PAL.
The reason is the FAL is black and therefore "evil" the M305 is wood and therfore a hunting rifle. The AK is also evil but the CZ which looks identical
,shoots the same 7.62 round is not evil.


Now you understand why I want a Remington 870 with wood stock and ducks and dogs engraved on it.

A sawed off shottie is evil but if it is bought that short it is perfectly legal.
