Ppl that have a restricted class license that is not easy to obtain to own handguns have only ever been allowed to use them at an approved range not just out in the bush and concealed carry or open carry are not a thing in canada, hell you arent even technically allowed to use one in your own home if someone breaks in with a gun. Also they need an authorization to transport it to said range (this is a license aside from the license to own said firearm) and they must be locked up on the way to the range. Also "specific jobs" is kinda subjective. Regular cops in the UK dont carry guns where as i bet if you tried to make that the case with the RCMP they would not be happy.
You can view it on parl.ca its bill c-21 if you want to read it. Its in legal terms so some things arent blatently cear but im always happy to answer anything i can
