Very True.... I guess us Canadians are a little more discreet about settling our personal vendettas. I never feel threatened in that way though. The only thing I'm packing is a coupe of cold ones for the road!:drinkers:
Yeah we got some screwy laws , guns have 3 catagories Non Restricted , Restricted and Prohibited , they give permits for the first 2 but have stopped giving permits for the third , the first is long guns and shotguns with minimum barrel lengths , the second is pistols and other long guns and the third is automatic or shortened guns , they can take a gun and say by "order of Council" that it is now restricted or even prohibited without any real reason which is why the cop in the article used the phrase "menacing looking" that is cause to re classify the weapon . Half the Barrett models are restricted or even prohibited but the other half are Non Restricted even tho they fire the same caliber ammo and are bolt action just because 1 looks like a military assault weapon and the other doesn`t ,it`s arbitrary and stupid but they killed the long gun registry and are threatening any law enforcement that tries to create any sort of back door registry of long guns which beats your 3 day background check for every purchase .
Like I said, The laws are very sticky and even if the guns aren't prohibited weapons, the police will still go out of their way to find a reason why you shouldn't be able to have them. Don't feel sorry for us Canucks though.....We may not be able to have as many cool guns as our friends south of the border.... but.... our Canadian beer kicks ***!!!
Agreed, besides it makes it easier to find the deranged killers with all our gun laws. besides guns have never been my thing, swords on the other hand...
