Yeah, when I was in Thailand before the elections last year there were endless Toyota pickup trucks rolling around the streets with a metal frame in the bed holding two giant billboards with the picture of the leader of the political party they were campaigning for and the number 7 or 3 or whatever ...

Situations like that don't even work in the us That guy who shot his busing contractor got ruledbecause he pulled his gun out But obviously he did so because he knew if his son was in danger he might not be able to close in on time to protect him It's pretty funny these insane 'kill whoever' laws e...

I don't see why it would be bad to issue CPLs (concealed pistol licenses--the more technically correct term) in Canada, as long as you guys maintain the no-brainer Common Law Duty to Retreat. It somehow worked for people armed with firearms since they were invented until 2005, after all, and even th...

Yeah, I'd love to navigate the MacKenzie sometime in summer to the Great Slave Lake, just because I love the idea of taking a giant (say, 70 - 75 feet) classical wooden two-masted schooner on inland navigation trips up major rivers--the Yangtze, Ganga, Nile, Amazon, etc--but also for the naturalist ...

Live aboard yacht might not be feasible if your in the far north. Heh, I don't plan to stay there in the long term. though amusingly the MacKenzie actually is navigable to the Great Slave lake and heavily used for barge traffic, but you'd have to haul it out in winter and insulation would be a nigh...

Oh those, yeah legal but restricted like all handguns. Requires a seperate license, if you move up and apply, let me know, I'll vouch for you as a refernce. MARSTAR usually has that in stock iirc. Thanks! That's pretty sweet, then, I'd hate to give those things up and they're beautiful to shoot, ev...

Russian Nagant 1895 revolvers. A matched set from the Izhevsk arsenal that were a wedding gift for me and my wife--they're not on the banned list and the barrel length is 114mm, 9mm longer than the legal minimum. If I get into any of the Canadian universities I applied for all the guns go into stora...

Randomly--is 7.62mm x 38R considered a legal pistol calibre in Canada, Aaron? It comes out to .30 on the US measurement, not a .32. Some are rechambered for .32 ammo but I know those would be illegal; I'm talking about the originals. Anyway it just seems incredibly odd that Canada bans .25 ACP and ....

Yeah, I don't have a shotgun right now, just three pistols (and two are collector pieces, they can be fired but they're not terribly useful guns), and a Marlin 982 (.22 magnum with 7-round mags, bolt action) for target shooting.

Yo Aaron, I figured it would be useful for firing shots to be located, dealing with some dangerous animals, personal protection against someone stopping to "help" if you're broken down or stuck who actually has bad intentions, and the cartridges could be used to start a fire if nothing els...

Hey ducgess it's funny right cause in non-insane countries carrying a weapon is recognized as an expression or admission of fear And fear makes people angry and reckless Carrying a gun doesn't make you a big tough man saving the world one dead black guy at a time It makes you a giant pussy with a g...

oh starkypoo i love the way you avoid argument and go straight to the insult Aussie public school debate class is the best! BTW I did not know princess was duchess, silly me. and princess, if you really think Z man was fantasizing about being able to legally shoot someone dead then you need to show...

you should read up on the crime rate in the neigborhood where this craptabulous shooting happened before jumping to conclusions. how many property thefts and other crimes should a neighborhood tolerate? this one had a bunch. zimmerman only fired one shot, i guess he takes his CCW seriously too. FBI...

There was someone who hadn't figured that out yet? Pffft. I love you for that.

Hi Chocula! I am a gun owner and CPL holder, among other crap. I just wanted to quickly observe that in common law there's a doctrine called "fighting words" which presupposes that sometimes you do something so extreme, but not necessarily violent, that it gives another person a legitimate...

Nope! Because my hair is pink and every little girl is special. (he'd still be screwed at SSBM, though. I play Peach).

Incredibly good. Best red meat ever, IMO, prepared at mid-east or Indian restaurants. Lamb burgers are also exquisitely good, especially with some greek tzaitziki (sp?) sauce.

Pfft, it isn't trolling when it's true.
