I question the "per capita gun ownership" claim. I know it says that on
many questionable websites but having lived in both coutries I would
argue. I know no one in right now (in Canada) who owns a handgun and
several folks who own long guns. While in Colorado for 3 years most
Americans I met had a handgun in their home. They also frequently owned
many long guns.

My experience would lend me to believe that the statistic is not correct.

I don't claim to know if the statistics are accurate or not. All I can
do is quote them. However, your experience is ancedotal, which isn't
good enough to cite as typical or supported.
