Open Carry in the Bush

No, you buy the kettle from the salesman who's dad sold kettles. duh.

Not me I was the guy who walked out of the store the last time without buying (provincial)

Now between salesman Steve,Thomas or Justin at this stage I,am probably still walking out the store.

Well iggy if am not a ex cop what do you think I worked at for 36 years.

I have actually taken you off the "ignore list" to have a good laught at your comments.Your past history on this forum and over at the hunting lodge is well know to many.I know your own hunting website did not work out for you and you were the subject of a mutiny, so please Captain Blyth dont come on here and strong arm your opinion on everybody.

go get your mental illness taken care of, then I'll respond
Nice back track on you being a LIEberal though.
She looks good on you

[Iggy]

Iggy, Gilroy actually is a cop.

Can't believe I'm actually in agreement with you.

he was a quasi cop, then got booted, now it's just pretend

You go into a store and speak to a salesman (politician) and he has three faulty electric kettles for sale (platforms), you dont like any of them,because they are faulty.

Do you leave the store without buying,or pay for and get a faulty electric kettle?

what a stupid analogy. (sorry)

let's make it a little more realistic: all three kettles are not the same, and are faulty in different ways. plus you have to take a kettle to use for the next four years whether you like it our not.

go vote. even spoiling your ballot (telling the store their kettles are ) says a lot more than sitting on your and complaining. democracy's a lot different than capitalism.

Don't try to reason with him, he voted LIEberal, read his posts, it's very obvious, now he is trying to hide it

best two posts from this thread right here:

The simplest thing as far as HG for hunting is exactly as it is,now. Upgrade to an RPAL,follow all HG storage guidelines,carry only in the woods,but,under no circumstances,allow "open carry" anywhere other than there. It would be no different than any other rifle or shotgun. We can't walk down the street without them encased,either,so,WTH is the difference? Honestly,liberal philosophy is so warped,it defies all logic and common sense. There's one burning question that someone asked that none of the liberals have been answering and that is "What does HG possession for hunters have to do with the criminals use of illegal firearms?" Apples and oranges,anyone?
Oh,BTW,I just got back from the Beer Store,so,carry on.

Concealed carry would be much better, so those furry beasts don't know you're packing.

Be very careful about what you say as you might be into defamation of character territory.Your first warning.

Warning number 2, how would you possibly know what I voted or if I voted.

...and you're sure of that how exactly? Mr. New Guy.

Try taking the conversation back on point,and making some salient arguments of fact.

Curious we have had a handgun registry for almost 50 years do you think it helped stop criminals from getting handguns?

Pardon the off-topic digression, but it did, and it does. Controls on handguns in Canada function to drive up black market costs. This is what makes smuggling guns profitable. More importantly, increasing the cost of a black market gun prices guns out of the market for the petty crook. Consequently, handguns are rarely used in robberies here, compared to the US where handguns are readily and cheaply available on the black (and grey) market. This is all well documented. You can compare costs, and you can compare the rate of firearms use in armed robberies, which are a bottom-feeder's crime: risky, with low payoff.

So why is handgun crime the only category of crime that has increased in Canada since the 1970s, you ask? Easy: drugs. The drug trade is profitable enough that participants can afford black market guns; since they are essential tools, drug prices will rise to cover their cost anyway. (Robberies, on the other hand, can't become more lucrative.) If we legalized drugs tomorrow, handgun crime would plummet.

Similar effects can be argued for the gun registry in the US. "What registry?" you scoff ... the machine gun registry, in place since 1934. But this kind of logic does not apply to a long gun registry in Canada, so proponents of the LGR can't use this argument, but that's a whole nother discussion.

We now return to your scheduled programming.
