In Canada, we have gone after the handgun:
-Magazines over 10 rounds prohibited
-Barrel lengths less than 4" prohibited
-permits are available to transport cased handguns directly to and from the range only
-nobody gets either open or concealed carry permits unless you are a police officer or an armed guard transporting valuables. (The guards only get S&W model 10's)

The only exception I ever saw approved was three government scientists were given permits to carry a .44 mag revolver in a holster while working. This was because their work involved darting and tagging polar bears and there was a risk the bear might regain conciousness while they were still sitting on him. I saw lots of carry permit applications from northern bush pilots - all declined.
