anyway not important, but i think that if i did live in a place were people carried guns or had the right to carry i would want them out in the open where they can be a good deterrent IMO instead of all stuffed away.

Firearms carried for defense by private citizens (as opposed to police or RCMP) is generally limited to those who require it for job safety. This requires some managing of Authorization to Transport permits, and open carry permits. If you are not guarding an armoured car, or likely to be eaten by a bear, you are not going to get a an authorization to carry. Even then, they'd probably prefer that you get eaten by a bear before authorizing you to carry a field revolver.
