well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:

I think Canada's gun laws are a joke, but it's not my
country and the law has to be obeyed.

Look in any history book under the heading "Boston Tea Party."

The inmates only run the asylum when we allow them.....

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.


Think they'd bother me on my Harley with the clergy sticker on the
windshield?

Hey, I worked in "Gunnersvull'. But why is the writer so interested in
the church connection. Is there something there we are not getting, or
is he just somehow trying to paint religeon/conservatives/guns etc
into one picture? Why was the mans occupation even noted, and would
the story have been written if he was say a barber? Just wondering,
the writer seems to indicate this type of seizure is not unusual...
hummmmm...



Cultural thing I suppose. Up here, normal people wouldn't think of carrying
a firearm...let alone a church official.

No hunters or target shooters in Canada, huh? Wow, times have sure changed
since my uncle took me hunting up there.


"Carrying" implies something quite a bit different than going hunting or
target shooting.

They still have hunters and target shooters. But, Canada's been infected by
the same sort of anti-handgun putzes we have here.

Here's some reading that should interest and/or confuse you. Apparently, the
provinces don't exactly agree on gun control.

"Carrying" implies something quite a bit different than going hunting or
target shooting.

There may be others who carry a firearm, but hunters and target shooters
also carry them. When I go to a pistol range, I carry the weapon. If I go
hunting, I carry a firearm.

Of course, I may not fit someone's definition of 'normal' !


"Carrying" implies something quite a bit different than going hunting or
target shooting and "carrying" your firearm with you.

When I read Don's comment about carrying a firearm, I thought he meant
anyone transporting a weapon for any reason, including hunting, target
shotting and any other reason someone might transport a firearm,
including using the gun to comment a crime.

I think I know what you are talking about, and "carrying" might mean
"packing heat" to some criminal elements, but I really don't think that
is the way Don was using the term.

The most common definition means a law abiding citizen carrying a legally
owned handgun, probably concealed, with a permit where required.
