On a mare's leg. I'm dual US/Canadian citizen I live in Canada on Vancouver Island. In Canada you need to be licensed to possess and acquire firearms. For long guns basically hunting rifles I think the Canadian system is fine, for handguns I think it is way overly restrictive to the extent that I think it discourages handgun ownership. For example you are allowed to transport a pistol unloaded and in a locked box to a gunsmith or shooting range by the shortest route no dallying along the way. If you wish to take your pistol to say Cabela's to trade in you need RCMP permission and remember to get permission to transport both ways or leave it at the store if you don't trade in - I guess. So while I often think of getting licensed for handguns I usually end up going why bother.
Now in Canada a mare's leg is a non-restricted (not a pistol) gun. Apparently in the US it is a pistol. Anyway maybe it is close enough to a pistol to just add it to a rifle or maybe SBR it or both - could it be an SBR one week and a holstered mare's leg the next? That is basically my dilemma I like the idea of pistol and rifle same calibre but the pistol is so restricted - is substituting a mare's leg for a pistol satisfactory? Add to it the fact that they are 15% off right now. Then sort out the calibre 357 or 44 or 45 - hmmm. 357 cheaper ammo 44 most power 45 sort of kind of somewhere in between. I might try deer hunting with it but my 7mm-08 or 30-06 might not like it.

I know I'm rambling but you see where I'm at. Any words of wisdom out there? Any experience with this? What would you do? Any thots from other Canadians?
