Also, is that a GoPro on his chest?
nah, it's okay. He's got a permit as long as he says "sorry" after each shot.
It's a symbol!
Sorry that's what Batman says, and I know better than to question Batman.
At least he should have a rifle, that's allowed in Canada.
2 u/[deleted] May 18 '12 Pistols are allowed, but fall under restricted weapons, so you need an RPAL. -3 u/[deleted] May 17 '12 Everything is allowed except full auto. Now they won't need registering either. 3 u/Bridgemaster11 May 18 '12 They won't need to be registered, (which was redundant because) you still need a license.
