Canada: Applicants for gun licenses " must pass background checks which consider criminal, mental, addiction and domestic violence records. Additionally, "third party character references for each gun license applicant are required. United States: Federally licensed gun dealers have to conduct background checks , but that requirement has many holes in it.
Reporting on criminal, mental health, drug, and domestic violence records is incomplete, and sales by unlicensed sellers don't require background checks. Seven states require background checks for all sales by unlicensed sellers , with another two requiring them for sales of handguns; eight states require permits for purchasers who buy from unlicensed sellers, at least for some guns, which function as a background check requirement for those purchases.
Colorado, Connecticut, New York, and Oregon require background checks at gun shows as well; the former three simply require background checks regardless of purchase type. Canada: Restricted or prohibited firearms generally can't be carried either concealed or openly. In rare cases, one can get a permit "for use in connection with his or her lawful profession or occupation," such as for work in wilderness areas with dangerous wild animals, or in defending armored cars with cash.
In very rare occasions they are issued for "protection of life," usually when there is a "an active police file and a verifiable threat as well as police confirmation that they cannot provide adequate protection for that person. Since most concealed and open carrying involves handguns, and all handguns are either restricted or prohibited, this effectively outlaws most concealed carrying by most people. United States: The federal government guarantees the right of qualified police officers, including retired ones, to carry concealed weapons.
Four states allow people to carry concealed weapons without a permit, 37 require the issuance of permits to qualified people, and 9 give authorities wide discretion in deciding who to grant permits to.
No state bans concealed carry entirely ; DC's ban was struck down by a federal court. States vary on where specifically concealed carry is allowed, and some require applicants to give a reason for why they need to carry a concealed weapon. Six states and DC ban open carry of guns in public, thirteen require a permit to do so, and 31 allow open carry without any license or permit at all.
Good start, but you also need to lock this gun in a container or room to comply with Canadian law on handguns. Canada: Non-restricted weapons must be stored with a trigger or cable lock or locked in a room, compartment, or container that is "difficult to break into. All guns must be unloaded when stored or transported, and put in a lockable compartment if available when left unattended in a car.
United States: Federal law requires licensed sellers to provide secure storage or safety devices with any handguns they sell or transfer. Our mission has never been more vital than it is in this moment: to empower through understanding.
The AK is banned in Canada. Originally manufactured in the Soviet Union as the Kalashnikov, it has been widely used in armed conflicts over the past six decades and has been described as the deadliest weapon in modern history.
Its kill count even tops nuclear weapons in sheer numbers. But the first AKs were very heavy and weren't really built for aiming. Kalashnikov wanted to develop a compact weapon that still delivered firepower within meters that could bring a blaze of bullets with ammunition light enough that soldiers could carry a lot of it.
A real Kalashnikov is surprisingly difficult to fire for a standard infantry weapon, but it was still very easily produced and easily used. Everyone will still refer to it as an AK or simply "AK" — because it sounds cool.
The weapon uses a 7. They shatter bones, tear through organs and liquefy other materials as the round tumbles through the body — often in ways that cannot be repaired.
When the M16 rifle was first introduced in the Vietnam War, it had a number of issues. There were so many problems that American troops were killed in combat simply because they couldn't shoot back. Even after the kinks were worked out, a dirty M16 was and is much less likely to operate than a dirty AK So US troops were known to pick up AKs from their fallen enemies and keep them handy When the AK was first introduced, it was such a great weapon that the Red Army actually hid it from the world.
The US didn't really know about its existence until the mids. Not that the American military would buy its standard-issue rifle from its main geopolitical foe and potential World War III adversary anyway.
These days, the US does not field AKs, but some members of its military are trained to use them. Special operations forces from all branches might have to pick up an enemy AK at some point because of the nature of their work — sometimes help isn't coming. The rifle was designed to be carried, maintained and fired by anyone in the area who happened to need its services. And if you need a weapon like the AK, you need to be able to use it fast, whether you're a professional soldier or a poorly trained conscript.
