Hey, I worked in "Gunnersvull'. But why is the writer so interested in

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,

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' !

That's called "open carry." Very few states allow that, typically

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.

sank instantly.

My two have the little removable foam crown insert.

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!

Let me make sure I understand this. In the west, it is common to see

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!

Lies! All lies! But still, it's a great hat. I've got the huge one - the

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.

I have three hats. all black of course;) I got my favorite which is a
oiled leather Aussi Outback. 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. Makes me look like a real redneck with the
mirror glazzez...;) All great hats, both of the rimmed hats are
customized with teathers and such...

That's called "open carry." Very few states allow that, typically states
out west, though I believe Virginia allows it.
And lawd almighty it's a stupid idea.....

As compared to the more common "concealed permit"?

Open carry seems a way for short little ****s to swagger, and little more.

So your really saying your little guns don't make you feel tougher? To

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' !


"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.


"Carrying" typically means carrying on your person a concealed firearm
for personal protection. In many states, you have to have a state-issued
permit to carry a concealed weapon in states that recognizes your
permit. I have such a permit.

Not from Maryland. You don't have an acceptable reason to have a
concealed carry permit in Maryland. But, I can see why are mean nasty
prick like you would want to carry a gun?
