I bought an off-road bike from a guy in New Hampshire. I used a broker - Anna from Kingsview Customs who was excellent to deal with. I also used Andrew from M.A.D. Shipping transport the bike from New Hampshire to King City. Both were very reliable, reasonably priced and easy to get a hold of...

Disability, life insurance and taking extra care & control when riding. Prepare for the worst & hope for the best.

The fish belong to everyone. Regulation is an integral part of conservation - the monitoring & management of fish & other wildlife species.

Think about it - for the average civilian who carries a concealed handgun, no one will be any wiser to that fact, including the psychopath shooting people around you. The first thing you're going to do is run for cover or concealment. From there, you can assess the situation and engage, if...

That's like arguing a motorcyclist shouldn't bother practicing evasive/emergency maneuvers because you probably won't do it/do it properly in the heat of the moment anyway - just rollover. :rolleyes:

LOL - pathetic indeed. I go through more than 200 rounds each visit to the range.

It seems armed civilians might provide a more immediate & unexpected response (element of surprise) than confronting police, resulting in fewer victims & less collateral damage. FWIW: http://dailyanarchist.com/2012/07/31/auditing-shooting-rampage-statistics/

Seems some beg to differ. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2005/nov/21/ukguns.immigrationpolicy Sounds like the UK is A very violent place. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1196941/The-violent-country-Europe-Britain-worse-South-Africa-U-S.html Disarming only makes things easier, safer and...

Indeed, but when decent people are rendered unarmed and defenseless with gun control laws, it changes to "live by the gun, prosper in safety by the gun". Self defensive use of a gun is not "living by the gun". How do you think those living by the gun, die by the gun?

+1. I normally examine the chamber by looking & feeling with my pinky finger, instead of examining the bore. When I'm acting as range officer, I'm not going to examine the bore of every gun on the line. As far as having a gun thread goes, it's fine in the off-topic section. If you want to...

Had it happened in Canada, LL Cool J would be going to jail too for assault.

Fantasy? Romantic notion? I don't think so. If Canada loosened CCW restrictions and allowed permits, I'd probably get one, but I probably wouldn't bother to CCW. It would do a psychological number on violent criminals - the prospect that anyone could be carrying. Nonetheless though, it's...

So true! Most remarkable is the higher incidence of handgun violence in Canada compared to long-gun violence. You'd think that such strict controls on handguns would reduce it far below that of the more loosely controlled long-guns, but it doesn't. Strict Canadian gun controls never stopped...

The controls in Canada have no effect on illegal gun trafficking. You could buy as many as you wish & obliterate the serial numbers or circumvent the gun registration system entirely. Demand for illegal guns will create a market - it's that simple. If illegal guns didn't come from the US...

Demonizing & prohibiting the lawful/defensive use of guns only gives advantage to violent criminals by ensuring victims will be unarmed. Creating a culture of fear of lawful guns & gun owners is counter-productive and pathetic. Who gives a flying f**k what people do with their hands? At the...

Gun trafficking occurs in Canada as well, in spite of the hodge-podge of controls & laws. Controls are circumvented & laws are broken just as they are in the US. IMO, the concept of CCW permits for lawful people is brilliant - effectively a mine-field for violent criminals. Interesting...

Why do you think lawful individuals would be more likely to commit armed robberies if CCW was legal? Where does that idea come from? Intent is the enabler, not the tool. An armed robber will acquire suitable tools to maximize success. Criminals will get illegal guns inspite of any controls...

Availability to the right people is key - decent & lawful people as opposed to violent criminals. There is value in a background check - there's no need for license expirations, Gov't lists of guns or other arbitrary rituals - Safety is covered in S86 of the CC. C68 is convoluted & dangerous...

Hypothesis that more guns = more deaths is false. http://www.wallsofthecity.net/ There are approximately 1.8M licensed gun owners and 7.5M registered guns in Canada (pre Bill C19). The total number of gun owners in Canada is approximately 7M and total number of guns in Canada is approximately...

Canada wants tolerant, understanding & forgiving victims. Sadly, justice has become a thing of the past.
