Thank you.
Does Canada have CCW permits ?
What can parents do to protect their kids from these attacks?
I don't think so. The second paragraph I posted said..."Some firearms are classified as restricted by Federal order-in-council. A transport permit is required to transport a restricted firearm from the location where the firearm is registered.", but I'm pinging a few others who may know more.

Carry a unrestricted firearm, I guess.
Further.....The transport permit allows you to carry a registered hand gun, in your trunk, in a container. I understand one must call their local police to let them know you are transporting the hand gun to the shooting range, and back.
