# 1 stupid question .
So after a brief argument last night , I thought id do some research but couldnt find any info on my question . Ive bought 6 guns now since Febuary , im wondering how many one can buy before the terrorist alarm goes off , even though im quite the oppisite . I don't recall there being a number but thought id ask . Any info would be great . Id hate for the RCMP to come bang on the door thinking im starting a redneck militia .

how many
keep them locked up in a gun safe follow the rules and you will be fine. buy as many as you want. just dont stand them in a closet loaded or let the nieghbours kids play with them. i asked the same question a few years ago.
another thing i do is i remove the bolts and clips and lock them in a different
safe, that way if found no one gets shot. my shot gun and leaver action guns
have trigger and action locks.

LOL well thats a funny story , last year was my first year of hunting Ever. And before I wanted to buy my own guns I thought id see if my friend would let me use one of his so whatever did that , and Im hooked . I bought a m77 , .280 , .22lr , 17hmr , .22-250 , .410 , and 12 gauge today . Im outta room in my gun safe Id like to get a 30.06 as a back up deer gun also but that will wait until Christmas by that point ill need to spoil myself .

be the time you run across a big elk and no killing power. Well, shot placement always works

not really interested in hunting Elk or moose yet , let the deer come in dozens and it will be all good . I am giving myself 3 to 5 years of deer season before I exploure my options for other big game . That way makes me more comfortable . My personal opinon of course

His .280 will kill anything in alberta with out a problem. Ive seen them drop huge moose and grizz in northern bc I have one and have shot alot of animals with it. Good caliber

Six guns since Febuary?
I don't think you have anything to worry about - I think I bought 4 in the last 3 weeks!
seriously though, if they are stored correctly, there is nothing to worry about.

Absolutely some might think I'm over board on the protection of my gun both trigger lock and cable lock on my guns as they sit at home and bolts removed and hidden in a safe place out of the dust and outta mind.I know my buddy's think I'm crazy and worried , I always say rightfully so, all are registered locked up tight and its all good.4 guns in 3 weeks man i'm envious.I want 4 more to add but those will wait until I get real good with what I have. Im super excited for September.No more goose hunting with my bow.

My friend in the FBI told me if you have bad in your user name on a hunting sight they will red flag you after 4 guns. Everyone else is ok until 9.
I killed lots of moose growing up in BC and unless AB moose are tougher or faster you will not need a cannon for them. They are like big dumb 4 legged grouse.

I think if you're driving down the road, with them heaped up, in the pickup, the alarm might go off.
