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' ! "Carrying" implies something quite a bit different than going hunting or target shooting and "carrying" your firearm with you. 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! 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. They say: Like the Titanic, it Floats. It Can Also Sink. One reason your Hat floats is because of the air trapped inside the water-repellent fibres. The main reason, however, is the layer of closed-cell polyethylene foam in the crown of the Hat that also protects your noggin from blunt objects. (People have told us this feature has actually saved their lives!) Certain types of wave action can sink your Hat – and you. You will find that your Tilley will neither sink – nor fly overboard – as long as you are wearing the cord behind your head and under your chin. The Hat has a positive buoyancy in relatively still waters; waves and rapids may sink it and hold it down for hours. It is up to you to take the precaution of tying it on. The wind cord is like a seatbelt: Useless Unless Worn. It is your responsibility to tie it on! |

And, according to a friend, on the golf course. |

I've got the huge one - the T2, if I recall. It's kept me dry even after 2 hours in the rain. It's a hands-free umbrella. I've had the 2nd widest brim model for years as my sailing hat. (T3) Natural canvas colour with green underbrim. This one stiffens in heavy rain and sheds 95% of the water. Later on I bought a nylamtitum khaki coloured LT5 for walking to work. http://www.tilley.com/chart.html |

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. 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. Something about keeping and bearing arms shall not be infringed. As long as it is on your hip.... |

Eisboch Absolutely a stupid idea, unless you can somehow convince me that you can keep your open-carry gun in place, no matter who decides to take it from you. You probably can't convince me. |

It looks like an American Cowboy Hat but with a smaller brim. I have a woven hat more American style, the brim is a little big for my taste though. It is a lot cooler in the summer than the Outback. And after almost 50 years I tried on a leather ball cap with a sort of stovetop shape and the wife said it looked great, so now I have one of those.
