... Note to all whacko preachers...leave your shootin' irons at home when travelling north of the border... http://www.thechronicleherald.ca/Front/914569.html Any idea what would've happened if he HAD declared the handgun, and it had been stored safely? I was under the impression they were banned completely. |

Lying is never a good policy. Don loves to look for an article that presents Americans in a bad light. I remember when he used a poor Canadian woman's death as a troll about how unsafe the US is. The problem is the exact same week there were many Canadians who died in Canada from violence. It is sort of Canadian on Canadian violence and it is epidemic north of the border. In the US we have very little Canadian on Canadian violence, even though it would be considered justifiable. |

Personally, I think Canada's gun laws are a joke, but it's not my country and the law has to be obeyed. |

I see the idiot Smithers is still spreading his crap about that unfortunate lady who went home to the States and was gunned down in New Orleans. She was an American....she had just worked up here for a number of years. If Smithers is so worried about America's image, he should start to improve his own. http://www.thesimpsons.com/bios/bios...e_smithers.htm |

But I don't see that has anything to do with *this*. If I was traveling in my motorHOME, I would be carrying protection, too. In fact, I carry protection in my own home. A .357 is not a large caliber. A trigger lock is just stupid. "Excuse me, Mr. [Rapist | Murderer | Thief | Criminal Whatever] you must wait a moment whilst I remove the government mandated safety lock before you begin your dirty deeds." Sheesh..... idiocy..... This is all about requiring US citizens exercising their constitutional rights to pay a $25 tribute to Canada for carrying a legal weapon.

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? Since i don't own a guy, if you are going to the range or out to the woods for target practice, don't you carry it on the seat in plan view, or in the trunk of the car (I really don't know the legal way to bring a guy to the range)? Wouldn't that be considered "carrying" if a cop stopped you? I have always thought if I needed a weapon to protect myself while cruising, it would be a shotgun or a flare, not some tiny little 357. |

"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. |

. .. 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? Since i don't own a guy, if you are going to the range or out to the woods for target practice, don't you carry it on the seat in plan view, or in the trunk of the car (I really don't know the legal way to bring a guy to the range)? Wouldn't that be considered "carrying" if a cop stopped you? I have always thought if I needed a weapon to protect myself while cruising, it would be a shotgun or a flare, not some tiny little 357. How old are you? The information will assist me in answering your questions. |

I would assume you keep the gun unloaded, with the bullets in one place and the gun in another (seat in plan view and trunk), but I am just guessing. |

I've got the Sport V8 with the V8's part-time 4WD. It is the best "car" I have ever owned, in terms of "no problems," terrific ride for what it is (a truck frame based SUV), roominess in a reasonably sized "big" vehicle, and not bad mileage on the highway. I'm thinking of getting another. If there is a tire option, get a set of Michelins. |

I would assume you keep the gun unloaded, with the bullets in one place and the gun in another (seat in plan view and trunk), but I am just guessing. In your trunk, or in a locked box, with unloaded magazines. About as you described. Now, when I go out to the Shenandoah property, I wear my pistol in its holster, "unconcealed," but my concealed permit is recognized by Virginia. I wear the pistol open because of the reasonable chance of encountering packs of feral dogs. The pistol I typically carry out there is a SIG X5, with a capacity of 20 rounds. The gun is quite heavy for what it is, and mechanically very, very fast, so firing off a lot of rounds in a hurry, even one-handed if you have to, is not a considerable task. There's no real barrel flip. You need that ability with attacking dogs, or with any large animal that wants you for lunch. |

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. Lies! All lies! But still, it's a great hat. 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 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. |
