Carrying a handgun when you hunt.

It may surprise you to know that it is only mostly illegal to carry a handgun in Canada.  If you can convince the chief firearms officer in your area that there is a compelling reason, they can grant you that privilege.  Unfortunately the standards for permission are essentially at the whim of said official; although a good starting point is that you work in the wilderness.  

An advocacy group is attempting to convince the federal government to set reasonable guidelines and a path to legally carrying your handgun while you hunt. https://wildernesscarry.wordpress.com/
