It's just that I feel I need to know more about these dangerous weapons, if i ever were to be forced to use one.
Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure how gun-laws in Canada work and you would be better off to contact a local gun club or police station and inquire as to what sort of documents you need to get. I did hear though at one point it took almost a year for a Canuck to get range time!
State side it depends on the state! Some states require a permit to both own and carry a gun, some just a permit to carry. I have a concealed carry permit both here in Virginia and in my home state of Alabama. Plus I hear that when and if the state of Illinois gets there carry permits going, that there may be a national carry permit so a person can carry in all 50 states!
