What kind of guns are you alllowed to own in Canada?
There are two types of permits in Canada that will allow you to own guns, Non-Restricted, and Restricted. Non-Restricted includes all long guns that are basically not semi automatic centerfires with a barrel length of under 18/5 inches, or repeaters with an overall length greater than 26". Restricted includes semi automatic centerfires with barrels of less than 18.5", repeaters shorter than 26", pistols and revolvers with barrels longer than 107mm. Certain long arms like the AR-15 or Czech VZ-58 are also restricted. All forms of the AR are restricted, while only VZ's with the short 16" barrels are. Handguns in calibers .25 or .32 are prohibited unless they are olympic guns, as are pistols with barrel lengths of less than 107mm, and certain longarms like the AK-47 and it's variants except for the Valmet M78 and Valmet Hunter. In short, a list in complete form is available online, and because of Canada's contradictory and often nonsensical laws, it is hard to provide a much more accurate description than that, in a nutshell.
