The funny thing is, I don't think we have many gun-free zones at Canadian universities. I have never heard of one at the university I attend. I know the University of Toronto had a gun range for over a century, and it was common to see people coming and going with their guns (in cases), although it was closed down last year.

Obviously an authorization to carry a handgun in Canada is almost impossible to get. They do exist though and some judges and high profile witnesses are known to have carried. But if you have one, its good to use anywhere because its in the Criminal Code if Canada, which would superceed a conflictual law or regulation made at a lower level. In terms of rifles and shotguns, I could probably drive on and off my campus with them and there would be no problem.

But obviously no one is just going to start walking around campus with rifles and shotguns. I wouldn't. Police would there in no time asking me what im doing, and they would pull something out of there ass to charge me with.
