About this episode

This episode discusses the impact of Canada's firearm bans on hunters and local businesses through an interview with Nelson Augustine of Mountain Man Outdoors.

This episode of Crossing the Line, Curtis sits down with Nelson Augustine of Mountain Man Outdoors in Cranbrook, BC.

From the real process of buying a firearm in Canada to the financial and operational impact of recent bans and policy changes, this episode offers a practical, on-the-ground perspective from someone living it every day.
