    Have you decieded on a firearm yet? As noted by many above, handgun vs long gun may need a different form of protection. I’m a firm believer in custom plugs and muffs, both purchased in the US, much less expensive. I like Brownells muffs. 
    Canadian government banned the typical Saturday night special calibres, .25 and .32 to create the illusion of safety. .22 is still just fine.

    When I visited @Little Steven at his home out side  Toronto for supper a few years back, we noticed "missing" posters for dogs & cats on telephone poles in his neighborhood.  Steve lives in a rural area in a development of very nice homes.  I asked him about the posters and he said the little dogs and cats were already coyote prey.  He said the coyotes were huge near him and they were dangerous.  One of his dogs was almost taken if it weren't for his other dog's heroism.  I said it sounded like there was a 12 gauge solution.  He said something like, "Hey cowboy, where do you think you are?"  

    That's as near as I can recall of the conversation because we was drinkin'. 

    I like visiting Canada very much because it's a great country, but I feel a bit naked being unarmed.
    Are you sure @Little Steven wasn't covering his tracks with stories of giant coyotes? What did you eat?
    They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin
