Greetings from The Great White North.

I am presently living in Quebec, Canada but hoping to move to Virginia as soon as I can, I am a new gun nut and unfortunately Canada is very restrictive with gun rights and getting a CHP is all but impossible, here is what we have to do to apply for a CHP in Canada.
We have to have an imminent threat against our life and have at least two death threats or attempts against our life which have been verified by the police, you have to have proof that you have gone through a Use of Force Training and then the police has to state that they do not believe that they can protect you.
Finally you have to file the application with the Chief Firearms Officer which can take 2 weeks or longer and the CFO makes all the decisions and has the final say in regards to firearm issues in the province where you live and that person can still deny you even if you have shown proof.
A person I know on a Canadian Gun Nut Forum stated that he works animal control in the woods which has a population of Bears and other dangerous animals and he got denied a permit to carry a firearm because he had never been attacked by a dangerous animal and he had to wait until he got attacked by a dangerous animal and then afterwards his application would possibly be accepted.
This country seems to be going straight to hell slowly but surely so I am getting out as soon as I am finished with my education and I have decided to move to Virginia after making extensive research and discussing it with my fiancée, she is studying to get into Entertainment Management and I am studying to get into Respiratory Therapy and Nursing.
I am contemplating moving to either Norfolk or Virginia Beach and decided I should join this gun forum to talk with other people who have the same enjoyment and who also realize that we need to protect ourselves and our loved ones because in this sheeple world nobody else is going to do it and we all know that SCOTUS decided that police is obligated to protect the public but not the individual citizen.
Sorry for the long message, I think the text ran away from me.

Hello and 
Here in the US we call that dial-a-prayer. Hope to see you here in VA soon.
