pleasant surprise in trail

[rogerb]

popped into canuck tire in trail this morning & was shocked to see brand new gun cabinets lining an aisle - not much stock yet but looks like they are getting into rifles & shotties in a substantial way; almost like the old days! couple kids had their noses against the glass looking over the marlin lever actions - nice to see. maybe times are finally achanging....

thats cool I remember as a child flipping through the canadian tire catalog at the guns, I was surprised when they pulled the guns off the shelf, I will have to go in there and check it out when I am in town

[Brambles]

Cool, have to check it out.

[bccanadian]

I doubt they will get them in any of the stores in Vancouver or the surrounding municipalities.

[adriaticum]

Google it.
There are stores with guns around. Mostly in areas where there are no other stores.
Just not many.

Canadian tire in Fernie now has firearms as well even some reloading supplies

[E.V.B.H.]

Heard last winter that they were going to put them back into most stores and increase their hunting supply, looks like its happening all over. Fernie has around two dozen on display.

Can Tire in Calgary on McLeod Tr has had a good seletion of guns for a long time.good prices

[mbway]

Be nice if it happens in dawson creek.

Alright paying $0.50 cash for all Canadian tire money you have lying around.....lol. Well I know now where my CT money is going bullets and powder the fishing tackle boxes were getting full.

Thats the way it should be why have guns hidden and not have them in stores in the open for all to see its good news to here this..

[xcaribooer]

Really think it will depend on your area and the attitude of the locals. I will be VERY suprised to see any firearms in the lower mainland can tire stores. way too many anti's down here.

I also hear the new Valley firearms store in downtown Trail is very nice....two reasons to head that way.

I read a couple months back they are bringing the sale of guns back slowly to select stores first

The way that CT is set up leaves the decision whether to stock guns (and many many other items) completely in the hands of the Store Owner. As a franchise, CT will make them available upon request. It then becomes a "business decision" for the individual who owns the store in question.

Canadian tire and home hardware are the biggest gun stores around saskatchewan nice to see that it's going to be BC also

[Sako 300 win mag]

The Canadian tire on Grandview Hwy in Vancouver will have a various selection as well.

[blindcast]

Will they be selling hunting licences too? Last fall when I was in the Squamish CT store they weren't.

[cariboo crawler]

I'll stick with Valley Firearms. They are local people and started from scratch.

Yes they will.

I remember looking at rifles for sale in Army & Navy and K-Mart.

[finngun]

new cr...y tire in salmon arm....hunting stuff area good size,,,but needs more guns.ammo...but i guess they are still filling up shelves?:-D
good to see guns and ammo area anyways there

[Phoneguy]

I wonder if they will have people who have their licenses to handle the firearms? Get kids on the coast here who have keys to the ammo lockups, pretty sure they don't have their PAL's

[Hodaka]

I buy my guns and most of my ammo and such at Valley Firearms and Barrens in Kaslo. I use the CT money on my CT MasterCard to get ammo at CT. Won't catch me buying a gun there.

I bought my first shotgun at Simpson Sears 16yrs old, 20ga single shot, model 840.

They are bringing them back in the stores in Ontario too, I was told that now that the long gun registry is no longer in effect they are going to bring them back into their stores across Canada.
