Thanks. So I guess I'll need to have it strapped on my chest. Never tried that.
Yes it was 2 separate questions. The handgun is for personal safety and as Y_Lifter said, just in case I need it while hunting.
Oh last question: is there any rule concerning the lenght of my barrel (handguns), cause here in Canada it must be 4" and over ? So I could bring my little S&W 9mm with its 3.5" barrel.
