Closed petition Legalise civilians carrying a firearm for self-defence and sport
Closed on
To legalise small arms like handguns and carbine and rifles chambering pistol sized rounds like .22 calibre, .45 calibre and 9mm.
Making these weapons legal could reduce the risk of crimes in some cases, as people may be assumed to have a weapon for self-defence.
It could also be a healthy sport for weapons enthusiasts such as myself.
