So by your "opinion" we should be sure to ban vehicles, liquor, beer, wine and even matches?

Didn't say I was right! Just questioned every opinion you set forth. [emoji57]

check out the 2014 stats

Don't put words in my mouth, I didn't give an opinion on driving or lighting fires or impaired driving, however, if I did, guaranteed Goofcrest would be on the opposite side of every one of them.

Anyway, hunters already have a firearm, I don't see the need for us to carry a smaller less accurate one.
I see why a trapper or tree planter may want a firearm, but hunters don't need another one. IMHO

Everyone has their opinions. I respect that. But it's a slippery slope when we choose one over another.

HA

When is this going too start getting good?

So, Joe Blow bowhunts only, how many can he shoot at a charging bear before hes hamburger?

Any of you oldies use the 32 caliber model Tens? Withdrawn from Toronto Police service in the early seventies.
I don't need a handgun for MY defense, but it would be handy to have one on my hip while working on the tractor for such things as porcupines, rabid skunks and other critters that we have to dispose of around the farm....even groundhogs in the garden can be remedied with a handy little gun.....

good point, but if your scared maybe you shouldn't be out there, I know lots of bow hunters, that target bears, and have never heard of one being killed by the bear and most of their stands are within 20 to 30 yards of the bait

you guys jump on this like flies on ****
I never ever said ban handguns, and I wouldn't, but handguns are not used in Canada for hunting, they are used manly for law enforcement and target shooting, and I'm happy with that

It's not about "need", it's about being able to possess and use a legally obtained piece of personal property in a safe and responsible manner without having to justify it. That's the very essence of "freedom" and freedom is a core building block of our society that is quickly being eroded away by all the left leaning thinkers. "I don't like it so I won't do it" is one thing but "I don't like it so I don't want YOU to do it" is very worrysome...
