But they need guns to protect against wild moose!!!!!! Always a f'ing excuse.
I grew up in the north, never had a gun in our house. When I was born my Dad cleared out all the rifles, got rid of them, he didn't think it was a good idea to have guns around little kids. Ammo stored separately, guns locked up, didn't matter, he just got rid of them.
In all my time canoeing, hiking, fishing and quadding I never needed a gun once and I'm talking decades. I was 100km away of the nearest town and the only thing north of me was the NorthWest Territories. I took a friend's .22 a few times but it was more of a pain in the ass to carry than anything. I've gone target shooting many times with larger rifles and even an illegal handgun, used shotguns, etc. It's not that fun, not worth having little children shot and killed.
