Yes, however these permits, referred to as ATC-2 permits, are almost as hard to get as a ATC-3 (CCW). These are only for wilderness use and a gun may not be worn within 5 kilometers of any city limits. This would be in uninhabited areas, and would be for the purpose of protection from bears or other potentially dangerous animals. It would also be only for when carrying a long gun (i.e. shotgun or rifle) was not feasible.

For concealed firearms, basically, it is not permitted. While there is provision in the law for issuance of an ATC (Authorization to carry) for concealed weapons, Provincial Firearms Officers have agreed NOT to issue them to private citizens. An ATC for OPEN carry may be granted for wilderness areas. Prior to attempting to enter Canada with ANY firearm, please consult with Canadian Law Enforcement.

Is it legal to carry a handgun in a commecial vehicle?

Generally speaking, yes. Some companies have policies against carrying a handgun on company property, including company owned vehicles, but as far as actually against the law, it is legal, as far as I know, in all states, *IF* you can legally carry a gun in public (some states require a permit), and the state of Illinois currently doesn't allow carry of a handgun in public at all.


Is it legal to carry gun Gun controlling?

Not sure what you're asking, but I'll take a stab at it. If you're asking "Is it illegal to carry a handgun," the answer is, it depends on where you are. In the U.S. some states require a permit to carry a handgun concealed, but a few don't. A few states allow you to carry a handgun openly, but most don't. Two states, Wisconsin, and Illinois, and D.C. don't issue carry permits.


Does a concealed weapons permit include knives?

It depends on where you are. In the U.S. each state sets its own rules. For instance, in Tennessee, there is no such thing as a weapons permit, it's a handgun carry permit, and applies to handguns only. Other than handguns, basically anyone can carry any legal weapon, but to carry a handgun, you must have the handgun permit. On the other hand, Florida issues a "concealed weapons permit" and it covers any legal weapon.
