Ever wonder why people call “shotgun” when they run to grab the front seat of a car or truck?
It goes back to the era where transportation was by stage coach. The man riding beside the driver was carrying a double-barreled 12 gauge shotgun otherwise know as a stage gun to protect it from bandits!
I so excited to announce that I just completed my Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) course for non-restricted and restricted handguns! I was “rifing” in circles when I aced the practical exam! I can now legally carry my own shotgun to hunt or protect myself against any predators I may encounter that want to eat me for dinner.
This course is mandatory in Canada to purchase or acquire any type of gun. A great course to take if anyone is interested in learning how to safely use guns or will be shooting them. It is important to remember to pick up some liability insurance. There are a few options available to do this either by joining a gun club organization or through the National Firearms Association ( NFA).
The NFA is a non profit organization across Canada that provides important information regarding firearm laws and regulations. They are based out of Edmonton, Alberta and can provide firearm owners with liability insurance for unplanned circumstances where you may need it. You can follow the link to the NFA below.
Now off to the range to sharpen my shooting skills with a little target practice.
Fall is here and I am starting to smell deer!
