Canadian Gun laws?

As far as I know, gun laws are pretty Lax in Canada. All Semi-autos are legal, and there's no cartridge size restriction. Most handguns are legal, and my family owns a whole bunch of "grandfathered" weapons, though they are all registered. My grandfather (no pun intended) owns a original (1940's build) AK-47, which he confiscated while he was in the RCMP. He just never bothered to take it to the station. My father has a 1920's Luger (4 inch barrel), and a M14 (Automatic) with a 20rd clip.

>30rd mags are pretty easy to get in Canada. I know some gun shops in Edmonton sell 30rd mags for the SKS/AK derivatives. My Dad also picked up his 20rd M14 mags at a local gun show, so basically just look around, go to some gun shows, and you'll find what you're looking for.

As you may know, there are 3 classes of firearms here in Canada:

Non-restricted firearms are ordinary hunting and sporting rifles, shotguns and airguns with an overall length of 660mm or greater. Many airguns fall into this class because they are capable of achieving a muzzle velocity of 500 feet per second. If it is a centrefire semi-automatic firearm, the barrel length must be at least 470mm to be non-restricted. These firearms must be stored, transported and displayed according to Federal regulations and you need a firearms licence to possess them.

Restricted firearms include many handguns and other firearms which do not meet the above specifications. Some firearms are classified as "restricted" by Federal order-in-council. A transport permit is required to transport a restricted firearm from the location where the firearm is registered. Anyone with the appropriate firearms licence and a valid purpose can acquire this type of firearm.

Prohibited firearms include all fully automatic firearms, converted automatics and a variety of other scary looking firearms which have been classified as "prohibited" by order-in-council. Most types of prohibited firearms are "grandfathered" to their current legal owners (i.e., owners are allowed to keep them), but cannot be transfered to non-grandfathered individuals. Firearms converted from full-automatic to semi-automatic, and many handguns (barrel lengths less than or equal to 105mm, .25 or .32 calibre) fall into the prohibited class. If you do not already own prohibited long guns, there is no legal means to acquire firearms of this type.
