bye.

why do you think I have had a fearful life? I once made my living as a
professional killer in the employ of my Uncle.


Me too. I retired as an officer.




Screw the rules! They're more like guidelines, anyways.

by the local authorities. They'll ask for a declaration of what
you've got. If you claim you don't have a gun, they decide
to search and find one, you could end up in a local prison.
If you declare it, it will be confiscated and maybe returned
when you leave (or maybe not, depending on the foreign
port). In either case, you'll not have any use of it.

But, feel free to take one along. Far be it from me to prevent
you from going to jail again.

You ever been to a foreign country? I dint think so.

and your handgun will do what? from your boat where?

I do not own a handgun. In fact, the only time I have ever fired such was in
Marine Corps training, and then with a Colt 1911A7 .45, a POS that fired so
inaccurately that a 50 foot shot was considered -- by the Marine Corps -- to be
long distance. I had also fired a rifle at up to 500 yards, qualifying as an
Expert.

The point was not the a pistol is a superior weapon, it is not, but rather that
Canada allows such to imported under certain conditions.

I understand the standard weapon in Yellowknife households is a rifle or
sometimes shotgun, loaded and kept near the front door ready for immediate use
in case children or adults need protection from hungry bear.

If I were to make the Inside Passage and were to consider it likely going
ashore, I probably would consider taking a rifle with me. I do know that prior
when my brother was considering flying a small aircraft from Montana to Alaska
he was told by the Canadian authorities that he would be required to take a
large bore (meaning NOT a .22) rifle or shotgun with him as he passed over
Canadian territory. It had to be a large rifle or shotgun unless his aircraft
was physically too small to carry such, in which case he would be allowed to
carry a large bore pistol, but he would be inspected so if the rifle would fit,
take it.

low you are willing to go. So far you and the neighbors dog are
intelectual equals.

Asa is the best newsgroup on the Internet!

Where else could you see the word "agreeance" used in an argument about
intelligence?

Wrong again.

"You cannot get an ATT for the purpose of hunting or self-protection."

Written a definitive treatise on the subject?

Yet another thing to add to the already long list of subjects
about which you know absolutely nothing, how people live in Yellowknife.

Mooron would kill himself laughing at your fear and naiveté.
