Most gun owners I know are professionals working downtown. You wouldn't even know that they were a gun owner... Most people don't actually share that fact with people because of "elitist" suburban sentiments that are mimicked by your comments. In fact at my club I ran into three different people that I've worked with in the past 10 years and we laughed because none of us knew the other was into shootings sports. Never came up, nobody every talked "guns", let alone at a party.
It seems like you have a very nice image of an American redneck gun owner and project that onto Canadians. Again, US vs. Canadian gun cultures, very different.
Kind of the point I was trying to make in my earlier posts.
