Do you carry a gun ?

Lets be VERY clear :- Guns have just 2 real purposes.(1)to invoke fear ..(2) to main or Kill...

Why would a mature,intelligent,balanced individual wish to do either?
PS.. for "defence" all one needs is a good brain...Smart,aware people anticipate and avoid conflict.

For home defense/fun I have a 12 gauge, .357 revolver, 10/22 rifle (fun gun!), Mini-14, .22 revolver, and another .22 rifle. I agree with irish...the military should go back to .45. 9mm is kinda wimpy. It's not like you need to worry about heavy ammo for a pistol...how much are you going to be shooting it? In an emergency I want a big bullet. Oh well.


Before people laugh at all the .22s... .22 ammo is cheap. So there.

thank god i don't live in canada

Agreed, seen too many police shootouts with 15 rounds from close range missing the suspect. Even in training, low light, siren going and strobe lights shooting paper while tactically moving and being evasive missed a ton of shots. They should almost teach instinctive shooting exclusively because unless you're a sniper with a long gun aim goes out the window.

As for the zombpocolypse... the more rounds the better. But then I do western sword fighting for just that reason. Because "swords don't run out of ammo. "


They're thinking about it... What a huge flippin mess honestly. Supposed to only cost $1 million, ends up at like $6 million for a useless registry.

Don't get me wrong, being a Canadian cop I'm all for a certain amount of gun control. My brothers in blue south of the border have all my respect doing a job for often low pay and really high risk. I just personally believe that there's no place for a civilian owning an assault rifle or machine gun. There's enough nut jobs out there that worrying about nut jobs with 30 rounds+ at a high cyclical rate with bullets that would shred my vest to pieces vs. me with a 12 round Sig... anyways..

The issue is there was no point to the registry. It added a huge fee to a lot of legal gun owners that had been grandfathered in from a long time ago. It was just a money grab for registration fees etc, which ended up costing more than it brought in... a lot more. They didn't anticipate that a lot of old timers who had rifles and shotguns but never used them anymore would just turn them in for destruction. Or bury them in a field in northern Ontario.

On top of that... it serves no purpose as police aren't given that information on a real time basis. If I'm going to a domestic it doesn't pop up on the screen "Caution, registered gun owner." or anything like that... privacy law prevents that. Stupid I know.

The bad guys don't go and register their guns. Only upstanding law abiding citizens...



We don't use anything on a Moose, you hope you're in a car and can drive away quickly. Moose are dangerous scary creatures with a chip on their shoulder and a meaner disposition than a grumpy old man. They're just more likely to get angrier and angrier the more lead you let fly at them... Moose often win in Car vs Moose scenarios.

Moose = Canada's version of M1 Abrams tanks.

Fear the moose!

standard military training taught me excellent marksmanship
