Note to all whacko preachers...leave your shootin' irons at home when
travelling north of the border...

Sure was glad I left the guns at home on my last motorcycle trip to
Montreal! The Canadian customs did do a quick search of both bikes. Hell,
two 50 year-olds on Moto Guzzis are worrisome customers.

The dumb ass in your article shouldn't have lied. Lying is never a good
policy.


Don loves to look for an article that presents Americans in a bad light.

I remember when he used a poor Canadian woman's death as a troll about how
unsafe the US is. The problem is the exact same week there were many
Canadians who died in Canada from violence. It is sort of Canadian on
Canadian violence and it is epidemic north of the border. In the US we
have very little Canadian on Canadian violence, even though it would be
considered justifiable.



I didn't interpret it that way. I saw it as a comment on a type of person
already know to be disconnected from reality. The preacher either didn't
bother to check the rules, or he figured he could get away with lying about
the gun. Personally, I think Canada's gun laws are a joke, but it's not my
country and the law has to be obeyed.
