👉 The Alberta Weapon, officially known as the "Alberta Armed Resistance" or "AWR," is a small, semi-automatic pistol developed by the Alberta-based group Weapons Development Incorporated (WDI) in Canada. Designed for use by individuals in situations of perceived threat or conflict, it features a compact, lightweight design with a 9mm cartridge and a 15-round capacity magazine. Its simplicity and ease of concealment make it appealing for those seeking a portable, effective self-defense tool. However, its classification as a small arms weapon by Canadian law has led to legal and regulatory challenges, particularly concerning its potential use in armed conflicts or unauthorized possession.
