Canada
Further information: Gun politics in CanadaIn Canada, it is not difficult to obtain a firearm. Certain models are classified as prohibited firearms, as defined by the Firearms Act. Possession of a restricted firearm requires a Restricted Possession and Acquisition License or RPAL. An RPAL may be obtained at the same time as, or subsequent to, a PAL with additional testing and scrutiny by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. An Authorization to Transport allows RPAL holders to transport their restricted firearms directly to and from gun ranges and gunsmiths or to a change of address.
Under certain circumstances, an Authorization to Carry may be issued, allowing one to carry a loaded restricted firearm on their person.
