I get what the article is going for, but the author premises hand gun owners carrying it on themselves, which we cannot do. That being said yes handguns are used to put holes in paper, or people, so they really aren’t needed, I don’t like the idea of outright banning them, but instead making the acquisition process much more thorough
It wasn’t thorough enough in my opinion, the testing was too easy, the rpal course didn’t have nearly enough hands on. There are a bunch of ways the licensing process could be improved upon
I don’t know if they changed it, I think they did, but I just did rpal and it was very hands on.
We went through actually practicing safe storage, different locking mechanisms, cases, all major handgun actions, etc. There was a very strong focus on handling and storing them safely.
It might vary depend on where you were taught and resources available. My instructor had all sorts of types of firearms out and we had hands-on time with all of them; but we only talked about the storage requirements
This is so confusing because; handguns are just as loud, rodent control is best dealt with an air powered gun, and unless you’re going out to specifically do that task you wouldn’t be bringing your tool.
I don’t think you know many farmers. They are not shooting their animals. Slaughterhouses do that part and they usually drown or use the pneumatic bolt made famous in No Country for Old Men.
You mean like putting an animal out of its misery? Well the proper way to do that would be to call a vet, but if you wanted to shoot it, a rifle would not necessarily be too bulky
Also because you mentioned vet but I don’t think they do it here. Vets can be licensed for a hand gun in the UK for such an occasion. - Source I helped a friend study.

The process for getting handguns was very thorough. But now there is no process and you can’t buy them. The article 8s 5 years old.

I will agree the tests weren’t super hard.

Sure but it’s still only a few weekends long of a course, and there should be actual practical at the range
I’ve only seen them on farms
Handguns?
Affirmative.
A rifle is too bulky and loud to bring in a stall/shoot at point blank.

Shooting a horse or a cow not rodents.
I don’t understand the last part.

I just said it’s the only time I’ve seen handguns, doesn’t mean I’ve seen a lot in Canada.
*cops notwithstanding
Gotcha my b.

That’s been my only experience with hand guns
