Do they? Like what?
I"m not asking these questions to be a d**k, I'm asking as I believe many Canadians and many posters in this thread don't really know the process or what's available in Canada or what laws we have in place. I see many assumptions that are inaccurate.

Well difficult would be an overstatementp when it comes to hunting rifles but you do need to pass a safety course and endure the waitng period. More difficult in that you can't just go to wal mart and buy whatever is legal in that state. I really do not know where one would begin in order to purchase a handgun I'm sure someone more knowledgeable on the subject can answer hat better then me.
When it comes to rules and responsibilities the owners have, they range from storage rules (trigger locked inside a locked safe), transportation rules (not loaded, in a storage case) and of course being armed in public. We (Canada/ USA) really live in two different worlds when it comes to gun laws.
You should really Google the rules and regulations yourself as I'm certainly no expert on this. You'd never see a person with a handgun in Burger King unless they were robbing the place here in Canada. Last fall in Kalispell my wife noticed a hillbilly looking guy carrying one at Burger King at lunch time and at supper at the Hu Hot I noticed another fellow was carrying a hand gun. Our gun laws are also national, not varying by state like in the US. California apparently has some of the strictest laws in the US, Arz however, well that is one state with the very few.
