Yep I pack heat when I ride. Got the old trusty Red Rider right by my side. Never know when that ferocious sparrow might attack. I am very very careful with it cause I don't want to shoot my eye out.
guns
ID,MT,WY, should pack for the wolfs, they have not been hunted in 100 years. They don't get it. coyotes do but wolfs don't.

That, to me, is very, very sad.
I walked into the local sporting goods store on Wednesday and said "let me see that XD45." Less than 15 minutes later I had it loaded next to me in my pickup driving away...and I even filled out the BS paperwork.

Everyone is bringing up some good points, but i would like to clarify one thing:
Canadians can and do own guns!
I can go and apply for my restricted license and have a handgun in a month. (depending how long it takes for my paperwork to go through)
A buddy of mine had his own 9mm and shotgun about 3 months after he turned 18.
Also, there's nothing to stop someone from putting one in their pack, or keeping one under the seat, etc. We just choose not to! It's a cultural thing. We feel no need, and there is no need, in my opinion.
Not that there's anything wrong with packing heat, I have nothing against it if people do, I just have never felt the need myself, and none of the dozens of people i know that own guns carry them either.
try www.panda.com/canadaguns/
When we do pack heat is on hiking trips, but Grizzly bears hibernate, so we have no worries during the winter.
Also we buy bullets at Canadian Tire, not Walmart.
I looked up Canadian gun laws after I read your post. I think you should do the same or Ol Dudley Do-Right will be lockin you up.The one you "slipped in your backpack" From what I read You can own them BUT if you have a handgun in your possesion and your not holdin your mouth just right You're headed to the crowbar hotel.
I did'nt read in alot of tolerance there.
It's a cultural thing alright they just lock you up. ehh
Bullets from a tire store.....Like buying a pellet gun from a glass shop

Concealed Carry
Those of you with concealed carry permits already no this… Not all states have concealed carry compacts (only 23 have a compact). So your concealed carry permit may not be valid when traveling. Make sure you know the concealed weapons law in the state your in or traveling to or through. Some vary. You defiantly don’t want to get caught in the national parks with a gun. With the gun laws today you don’t want to get pinched for being in violation of a concealed carry law. You could spend some time in the gray bar motel and possibly loose some gun rights. Nobody wants that. Plus that gives the anti-gun freaks more to cry about.

I never thought of packing while sledding unless I was after 'yotes, but I usually have one in the truck at all times. And take one on road trips in the car. Never had to even think about using it but it's nice to know it's there.
Snoboner it sucks that you had one pulled on you and I can see your reasons for packing now. But if you had one that day what could have happened? Obviously if things had gotten worse it would have been better to have one, but if you'd have pulled yours out things would have definately gotten worse. Or if you had a little extra confidence because of the knowledge that there was iron under your shoulder things might have ended badly. You did the right thing by turning the other way and leaving those a$$holes alone, here's a
hoping it never happens again to any of us.

hoping it never happens again to any of us.I leave handgun at home when i ride. I do have a ccw permit and i carry all time otherwise.
yes i carry
no explanation needed.....

Why can't the manufacturers put on some secret munitions like an oil slick or mine dropper...when you pass the slow riders, problem solved. I guess that would increase the price of the sled to $20,000 US hahah
cause then we would whine about weight and try and figure out how to mod it for better performance adding titanium here and there or ask what kind of oil works best for the slick
lmaoSo you compared the crime rate of most of Canada (I thought there were only three prairie provinces) to that of North Dakota, Minnesota, and what other sparsely populated states did you use? I am pretty sure the criminals in LA and Chicago would like to be represented too.
But of course, but the issue again is the words bear arms, which back in the day was used to mean fight in an army or a militia. If the wordage is the same as the 2nd amendment how can there be an argument about them meaning different things?
One more post and I'm out because, as was said like three pages ago, we could go back and forth for years and no body would cange their mind. I found that in one of my sources for the project ( I can cite it for you if you want, but I'm guessing you don't care). I would assume its BC, Alberta, Saskatuan (spelling), and Manitoba.
I'm sorry buddy, you really have to get your facts together when you try to make a point. What do LA, Chicago, New York, and DC have in common.....strict gun control!!!! Conceal and carry is heavily restricted in California. Chicago, New York, and DC have straight up bans on carry and ownership.

BC has praries
Regardless, the point the Canadians are trying to illustrate is simple; we're not allowed to CC, we're ok with that, we don't feel like we're at any additional risk, and things work just fine without it. I don't feel like I'm missing out and most that I've met here feel the same....take that for whatever it's worth.

I carry one, and so does everyone in my group! Figured its a good survival tool, and for some fun everyonce and a while!
I have never seen any animal besides birds where I ride but I still pack anyways just in case I get lost and I am out in the wilderness through the night. I know there are some big cats in the mountains we ride in so just in case its nice to have a gun. I also agree with an earlier post about the meth heads here in WA. I would rather carry and not have to ever use it than not carry and need it. I hope I never ride back to the truck after a day of riding and see someone trying to steal my stuff or someone elses.
Those sparrows are deadly
Carried at work for 30 yrs and never seen a need while sleddin"
Was once with a friend who carried. He lost his gun on the trail.....We searched for hours and never found it......He returned in the spring and found the gun....
