YOUR RIGHTS IN CANADA First and foremost, remember that the US Bill of Rights ends at the US/Canadian border. Canada is an independent and sovereign country; the US constitution and US laws have no force in Canada.
There is no equivalent to the US Second Amendment in Canada. Nor is there an equivalent to the US Fourth and Fifth Amendments; Canadian firearms laws permit warrantless searches and seizures and compulsion to testify against yourself, overriding language to the contrary in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. If you have to go to France and to practice self defense, you are in a pretty bad situation. Concealed carry is strictly fobidden, unless you are a policeman ON DUTY, or someone like that. Nearly all autos calibers like .380 ACP, 9mm Para, .40S&W, and .45 ACP are considered as "war caliber" (1st category). You can get AT MOST license for "war caliber" firearms (up to seven central percussion guns), and that's exclusively for target shooting. For self defense, you will no more have the choice, if you can get a license for a such purpose (the frenchies are very restrictive), between ..32 ACP, .38 Spal and .357 Magnum (4th category) those guns can be bought for Target shooting still with an authorisation.
