We've got more guns per capita than 'mericans, but we don't
use them the same way you do.

Screw the rules! They're more like guidelines, anyways.

Exactly Rick, if Jax had bothered to read his link he would have seen
that the only circumstance that might allow a bringing a restricted
weapon (all handguns) into the country would be participation in a
recognized
shooting competition. Tooting around in your sail boat with one just
doesn't cut
it.

true, and that is canada,,what of other countries where adherance to the
rule of law is suspect? My point was not so much GUN=BAD, I own myself, it
is that the 'need' to have a handgun on your person in canada is
nill...and on a sailboat...off the chart.


I am sure that if the authorities (police, coasties, customs inspectors
...) were
to board your vessel and find any sort of firearm onboard, would go
pretty much
ballistic. If it were a hand gun the story would probably make the front
page of the
National Post.

that's true. A lot of people from certain states in the USA forget that
most civilized places don't allow conc~ weapons. AND,,,the 'certain'
states is very important. Many states now have as little tolerance for
handguns as all of canada...it is just that our gun jurisdiction is
federal in Canada...the USA makes that a state concern. I understand that
cops in NY or Boston will beat you with your gun before they charge you
and make life unbearable for you....i heard anyway.

Marty

likewise.

or for protection from animals. Not an issue in much of the country, but can
be a concern in the Canadian Rockies.

btw, the State of Alaska (which covers a large part of the trip from Seattle to
Ankorage *requires* of all small aircraft operating outside of very limited
areas to cover a pistol or shotgun or rifle, in addition to various pieces of
survival gear. The Canadians used to much more strict re the survival gear
required (for remote areas) but have made the law rather nubulous now.
survival gear for remote areas is considered prudent.

That said, I have no use for weapons today, having used then in earnest as a
young man in the employ of my Uncle Sam.

Careful Martin, Horass is getting "interested" in you. He wants
to give you lessons.

right! because they're all a bunch of sissy-girl wimps up there. Glad you
agree with me.

Scotty

I wouldn't try to KILL them. I would STOP them from hurting killing maiming
robbing
me or mine. Try to think of it this way. If you were a robber/rapist/
murderer/ gangbanger,
where would you most like to ply your trade? In a country or state where you
KNOW no one
has a deadly weapon for self defense, or a country or state where everyone
MAY have
such a weapon. If you were going to rob a home which one would you choose.
One with a Handgun Control poster or one with an NRA poster on the front
door?

that's a start. that site doesn't mention protection from wildlife,
but the
canadian site does. I just didn't spend any time looking for it.

Reading comprehension problems again? I wrote "you", we have a strict

allowing sociopaths to enter the country, armed or not.

I 'guess' i can see the logic of 'packing' in the US where many other
packer's are and where you are 100:1 more likley to be gunned down cf
Canada...But the argument wears mighty thin regarding packing in Canada
where you have to try hard to find a reason to do so ....drug smokin
hippies, shady cops, mean animals, commie *******s.. other
'un-enlightened' Americans...which one gives you such concern that you
would try to kill them?

The right to bear arms [and risk a sunburn] applies only to certain states
with those United States and has no pluck anywhere else in the world. Just
don't visit Canada if you feel the need to have a person killing m,achine
on your person. The cops are SO antigun here that a 911 call metioning
the word GUN will brign the wrath of god on the perps...whereas pulling a
pistol from a a shaky hand will get you beat to death.

ah, maybe where the girls are who want a gaggle of guys at one time?

so, you wanna use a gun to stop the guys or stop the girls who want the guys?
