I haven't but there are many in Canada who use black powder and Bows.

I have not seen that in Canada. Handguns are not popular in Canada. They do exist here but not in large numbers. There is a large numbers of long guns here of the kind used when hunting, from .22 calibre to 30-30 for the most part.

I have not seen an AR15 in my travels. I think they do exist here but people don't take them out of their home.

The AR15 and military style weapons are banned in Canada since someone in Nova Scotia went on a shooting spree last year, killing 22 people.

I don't think the AR15 or military weapons have any place in society today. Those weapons are designed to kill people so it's no surprise that's what people use them for.

In an active war zone maybe, but not on the streets of our cities.
