In Canada, firearm ownership is strictly regulated under the Firearms Act and Criminal Code. Acquiring a firearm requires a Possession and Acquisition License (PAL). The government has banned numerous firearm models, with significant bans occurring in May 2020 and December 2024/2025. Laws are in place to facilitate the removal of firearms from individuals deemed ineligible, such as those accused of domestic abuse or violence. While self-defense with force is recognized, it must be reasonable and proportional to the threat, and using an illegal firearm in self-defense carries criminal liability.
