How? hitting them with your purse?

Try to think of it this way. If you were a robber/rapist/
murderer/ gangbanger,
where would you most like to ply your trade?

robber=bank or 7-11 store
rapist=local college girls dorm
murdere=where the person I want to murder is
gangbanger=local college girls dorm

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.

More likely, the country that you are in.

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?


whichever one there is nobody home at. And no alarm system. Guns are a
desirable theft item.

hope you know more about puters than you do guns.

I am a former police officer of a small Pennsylvania town.
I have an extensive collection of firearms, mostly handguns
with a few hunting rifles and shotguns.
If you want to break into my home and steal my guns
you will have to either break open my gunsafe or
carry the 1200 lb monster out my basement door.
There are few robberies here as most home owners
in this area do own firearms. There are a few burglaries
however, usually with the perps looking for cash or
electronics. More often than not any firearms
are locked up or well hidden.
I'm not WANTING to KILL anyone. I am WANTING
to STOP anyone trying to rob or hurt me or my
family. The thought of the perp being killed
is secondary to STOPPING them.
I do not have any firearms on my boat, but
would seriously consider it if I were to sail off shore.
I hope you know more about sailing than you do about
firearms and their use/abuse. Otherwise you are one
of the most dangerous persons on the water.
To yourself and others.
Respectfully and Sincerely,
JR

any old excuse will do huh? the animals that are left here in Canada used
to roam the USA as well....but fearfull men with small penis's killed tham
all from a distance....now they must look to other social groups for their
nemisis

So...if you run into a griz bear in your boat i am sure you will be
needing more than a gun to get you back on track. What is it about that
mentality that requires so much protection form so many things? I ask in
seriousness because it looks saddly fearful form my stance...that so much
hostility has been created that you need a gun to give you peace of mind
in Canada...i can't think of a safer country close to the USA now...?

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.

what is "nubulous" and what do you know of Canadian policy and law?
seriously?


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.

Very well. that was then and this os now right?
Good dayJax

then try to think of it this way: If you were a lazy opportunist would
you take the trouble to investigate the laws and demographics of gun
control in order to situate yourself in a country such as you describe?
Doubtful, since hand to mouth is the more likely means by which armed
thugs operate..or seem to.

that said...the premise need only be tested by looking at the results;
A/ where is it safer, statisticly, to live Canada or USA?
B/ Are people flocking to canada to set up robbing raping shops?

you have unfortuately fallen for the oldets form of social
cohesiveness...find a common enemy,,,,and if one can't be found, make one
up and demonize ...then, arm yourself and generate an air of histeria. You
have the gun now you need a reason:, rapists and robbers to protect you
loved ones from, wild animals sailing trips....it gets pretty thin on
logic after a short time...and remeber, i am not apposed to guns per se.

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?

Both, they are likely bluffs and even if not the one without the dog in
the backyard is statisticly the one chosen, AND, if i don't have a gun my
young male ego tells me i could take one from gramps and use it on
him....and that is the sad statistical truth in too many
instances...people kiled by their own guns becaue they are more civilised
than the guy taking it from them! you have to be armed 24hrs a day then
what are you protecting? not much of a life huh?

rick
I just don't buy the logic or ill-logic of it that's all.

If you intend to visit foreign ports, the firearms will be a liability in
that
they will likely be confiscated when you arrive and possibly returned
when you leave. Seems to me the whole point would be to have them
around. If you can't have that, what's the point.

no, if you anticipate going ashore in wilderness areas of Canada, do keep in
mind that the locals are mindful of bear. There is a reason for that.

Also there is a reason the State of Alaska requireds weapons on small aircraft
that venture outside limited areas.

If it bothers you, just take care not to go ashore, or if you do do so only
when you are sure no bear might be present, paticularly bear with cubs.

.but fearfull men with small penis's killed tham
all from a distance.

really? how do you know the men had small penises?

what is "nubulous"

look it up in www.dictionary.com
