I have the same firearms I had 20 years ago.
If you don't count the 303 Lee Enfield I sold to a coworker...more like 35 years.


The ignorati think Canadians cannot own firearms


Nope, but they are ver restricted.


Let me fix that... *VERY* restricted. Donny must have owned some very pedestrian firearms, if any at all. If none, then he still owns none, eh?


The way things rot and corrode up thar in the salty air, Id be
surprised if a bullet could make it all the way down his
barrel.

My guess is †he salty air/water in Floriduh is more corrosive.

lol. Don't underestimate a lee enfield .303

I have one made be BSA in 1906. The cordite ammo and neglect over the years has taken the rifling out about a third of the way up the barrel.

Benched and with iron sites, I can still whack a groundhog at 200+ yards.

I love the .303s.

I never quite understood what a trigger lock was for unless you were
just trying to keep a toddler from using the gun. It would only slow
down a teenager for a few minutes and a thief can still steal the gun.
I was able to get the trigger lock off of a pistol I bought with a
paper clip, in about 30 seconds without any damage to the pistol or
the lock. If I did not care about the lock, it would have been more
like 5 seconds. using one of any number of common tools.
I really prefer locking up the whole gun, preferably in a safe that is
hard to find. Again, I think a big safe sitting in plain view is just
a target. These days, safe cracking tools are at the Home Depot. A
metal blade in a cutoff saw or even a grinder will make short work of
most safes (typically 16ga steel). If it is a "better" safe, go with a
diamond blade.

Kalif...I can understand some of the heat stroked southern boys in here
making a dumb statement like that but you claim to make frequent trips to
Canada and should know better.
Sounds like our laws are similar to some of the more enlightened states like Mass.
I keep my firearms stored in a closet with trigger locks in place and the
ammo is stored separately.


I know you do not have to store at a gun club. For $50 I can get a years
import permit for a long gun. And Mass is not an enlightened state.

I've owned exactly what I've wanted to own. A 22 cal semi auto rifle with
a 4x scope, a 20 ga single shot shotgun and an old 303 Lee Enfield refurbished army rifle.
I don't hunt so I never felt the need for anything else.


So why an entailed?

" My guess is â€*he salty air/water in Floriduh is more corrosive."


My captain buddy in the British Virgin Islands insists that the salt concentration is higher nearer the Equator.
He knows a lot more about boats than The StinkyOne.

The real issue has more to do with temperature than salinity. Heat
makes chemical reactions go faster. Once you get over 30c, bad stuff
happens fast. The same is true about the nasties in swimming pools. My
Dutch neighbor does not understand that. The things that he does with
his pool in the winter around here (24-25 water) just will not work in
the summer. I declared a mutiny, changed the timer on his pump and
cranked up the chlorine generator, after it turned into a frog pond.

As for the rust thing, in tropical salt water, hot dipped galvanized
will rust out in 5 or 6 years.

private sales, requiring that all are documented with the government.

Oh wait ... they do. Yet 84 people were killed and many more had
horrific injuries, caused by this fully automatic truck.


Entirely predictable - a one time massacre of up to a hundred with a
truck outweighs (for example) the twenty thousand who shoot themselves
each and every year.
And if it is mentioned how this number can readily be reduced by social
forces, the predictable NRA response to that is:
"No - not so - they will just find another way to top themselves" which
by the way is evidentially disproven.

It certainly is not disproved by the japanese who have a far higher
suicide rate than the US with virtually zero guns.

Suicide is a mental health issue, not a gun issue.
