Your ignorance of our gun laws is astounding, it’s actually not illegal in Canada to walk around with a non-restricted gun in plain view, it’s illegal to walk around with a LOADED gun. It doesn’t make it a good idea (especially with all the trigger happy cops out there) but as long as it’s a non-restricted firearm and unloaded then you can walk around with it out, in a lot of northern communities it’s something you will see almost everyday.
