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.


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' !

You wouldn't meet our minimal admission standards now.

That's called "open carry." Very few states allow that, typically
states out west, though I believe Virginia allows it.
Virginia allows concealed, with a permit. If I'm carrying a pistol into
a
target range, or a gun shop, there's nothing illegal about it.

I'm fairly certain Virginia also allows open carry, but I could be
wrong. I was wrong once before, in 1983. :?}


I'd like to meet someone who thinks open carry is a good idea, just to
see how much they drool in any 30 second period of time.



I've read posters on gun boards talking about their "open carry" around
the state. I only "open carry" out in the country, hiking along forest
trails on the mountain ranges or accesses to them, or on the property.
There are feral dogs and bears around for sure, and there have been
mountain lion sightings.


Yeah, but there are morons who think open carry is OK in a department store
or other relatively crowded places. There is ALWAYS someone stronger and
faster, who can take that gun away from you. Always. A guy at my gun club
thinks that even if he's got his hands full with a 10 foot 2x8, he can stop
someone from snatching his gun. He bemoans the fact that open carry's not
allowed in NY.

They are great hats. But, are they still claiming that they float? If so,
don't believe it for a moment. I lost one a couple of years ago when some
serious wind blew it off my head. It landed 10 feet away in the water, and
sank instantly.


My two have the little removable foam crown insert.
Was yours still in its place when the hat sank?

Oh, I agree with that. They're the big gun, small dick guys, for the
most part.

We can agree that you and I have different definitions of 'carrying' a
firearm. Do only 'abnormal' people carry a firearm by your definition?

Please note, I'm not trying to start a ****ing contest here. You
interjected a comment that doesn't, to me, make a whole lot of sense given
Don's remark.

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.


Speaking of fortuitous...how nice that you should mention Tilley hats as I
was in the market for a hat. And, at the same time, the closest store
carrying Tilley's was having a 20% off sale. Now we are both proud owners
of a Tilley. They are a very comfortable hat!

BTW, what model 4Runner do you have. I'm getting pretty serious about
getting one in the next week or so. I'm thinking of the basic SR5 as the
leather in the limited doesn't impress me, and neither does the fancy
suspension of the Sport.

I do want the V8 and the towing package!

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

Let me make sure I understand this. In the west, it is common to see
people with a guy in a holster, in plan sight. Wouldn't they be
considered to be carrying?



That's called "open carry." Very few states allow that, typically states
out west, though I believe Virginia allows it.
