Canadian view of carrying weapons

[Mowich]

Do you believe that most Canadians do not like the idea of people carrying knifes or firearms
or concealed handguns for self defense in Canada. Do most Canadians believe they can be
safe without carrying weapons?

Speaking only for myself, no I am not comfortable with the idea of other Canadian carrying concealed weapons. That said, how would I know? It is all too easy to conceal certain sized weapons. As far as knives, many of my friends here carry pocket knives or hunting knives and most people I know around here also having hunting rifles with which I have no problem whatsoever.

even then I prefer a shot of good rye whiskey.

@Boomer:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the US, carry laws vary from state to state. Can you get a blanket permit to carry in
your rig for the whole US ? If not, a person would be looking at some serious time given their mandatory minimum laws.

No you stick with Gun Friendly states and you don't have a problem..

Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida.

1. I10 and I20 easy driving, not much snow.

2. Never go to California, Illinois or New York state, jail time if caught, 2 to 5 years.

 

[gerryh]

That would be me.

Which do you think I am?

Look at that, you answered your own question.

Mind if I answer? Gun laws and carry laws vary from state to state, and some have reciprocity with other states. I, for example, have Utah and Florida non-resident concealed carry permits. The Utah permit allows me to carry concealed in 32 states, and the Florida permit in 3 more. So I can carry concealed in 35 states (but not in my own state, Maryland).

So can you carry in California, Illinois, and New York state as I stated above?? Doubt it.

The states I said above you can travel are part of your 35 states?? YES??

Sec. 926(a) requires that your ammunition or firearm be locked up, but some states do require both.

Thought you were anti-Gun now you're saying you have a concealed carry permit??

So your a hypocrite. :lol:

 

[DaSleeper]

So your a hypocrite. :lol:

Or in polite language........disingenuous......?

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

No.

Illinois,

No.

and New York state as I stated above??

No.

Doubt it.

Never said I could. I was addressing Nuggler. I didn't read your post very carefully, because asking you for information is a waste of time, because you can't tell facts from your opinions.

The states I said above you can travel are part of your 35 states?? YES??

No. As I said before, I wasn't addressing your post.

Sec. 926(a) requires that your ammunition or firearm be locked up, but some states do require both.

Correct.

Thought you were anti-Gun

That's because you're stupid.

now you're saying you have a concealed carry permit??

Two, actually.

So your a hypocrite. :lol:

Only if you think I'm anti-gun, in which case you're stupid. But we already covered that.

 

[taxslave]

I would hope that you realize that when you said that, that in Canada the loons are still armed, and the rest of us, (barring a few exceptions);-)......are not.
What is the advantage in that? huh?

That is why they have yellow stripes on their pant legs. Easy identification.

I'm totally in favour of it for normal sane people, but when something like this is implemented (for lack of a better word) you have to take into account the lowest common denominator (criminals, crazies, and the impetuous) which kind of rule it out!

Well hard to tell from day-to-day what your principals are because your such a troll, but if your not "anti-Gun" you sure want to legislate the piss out of them with background checks.. some would call that anti-gun in the USA.

Well, the good news is that right-wing legislators have thrown obstacles in the way of reporting systems, to make sure that people under the care of multiple psychiatrists and social workers can buy guns without that data showing up.

That's how Sung Hui Cho got his guns. That's how Elliot Rodger got his guns. Both were under mental health care.

Excellent work!

Yes, I'd rather keep guns out of the hands of convicted felons and certified lunatics. How very fascist of me.

You ain't making yourself look no smarter here, Boom. Probably best to quit while you're behind. You'll only fall further behind.

I only agree someone seriously mentally ill should never own a gun. But there are some people that are depressed or other mild cases of mental illness that should not be excluded. Where do you draw the line..

Convicted felons not having guns?? Do you think they care about the laws?? Probably why they are felons.

Some would call me anti-gun because I want to ban assault rifles are military grade guns. Hunting rifles and hand guns should be allowed.

Anyhow T-Bones you posted other remarks that make you sound anti-gun in the past. Probably being a idiot troll as usual.

Boomer I think Bones is often read incorrectly on this forum...female...left, right, gay, whatever, because it's easy for lots on here to box people in and their heads can't process past that...for most people in the real world, they are on a continuum on many issues and slide back and forth...there are many in here who do not but this is not really a reflection of the real world in here it's extremely skewed...but the ability to be flexible is in fact an indicator of "normal" and "well adjusted"

Yeah I get what you're say, you're right.. most of us are flexible, other's are just trolls.

Hey we're under terrorist attack in Atlanta, jets scrambled.. RT.com

Great, the popup news on my iPhone sure stated a different story..

Actually, I'm not that hard to figure out at all. I'm quite conservative. I just don't deny problems exist.

Are women and non-whites systemically discriminated against in the U.S. Sure they are.

Now people like Boomer are saying "Just another anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-gun, anti-freedom leftie."

They never get to the key question, because as you say, they've assigned me to a box in what passes for their minds.

The key question is "What should we do about it?" and for me the answer is usually "Nothing."

Once you have passed laws mandating equal treatment, the residual inequity can only be resolved by time.

Same with guns. My opinions line up just about exactly with Colpy's. You may note that he and I go at it like blazes on many issues, but never on guns. I agree with the freedom to keep and bear arms, with reasonable restrictions. But I don't deny that easy access to guns causes problems. Hence Boom thinks I'm a gun hater. I've already said why that is.

Watched the movie Tombstone yesterday. The dark haired Lady , Dana Delaney is one of the prettiest women I've ever seen. That's the main reason I watch the movie. I do like Val Kilmers' portrayal of Doc Holiday as well. the man gave a fine performance. The rest of the movie to me, was one of the finest example of the macho dumbazzery of those times. All the tough guys playin badazz with their toys and impressionistic bullshyte. Still goes on today. Justify it as you will, reason it in your own minds as you may. To me, it's still dumbazzery.

Great film, and I agree with you about Kilmer. I think the fact that he wasn't even nominated for Best Supporting Actor is a disgrace. But the film is pretty accurate, and it brings up problems we still deal with today, like. . .

When you decide you're gonna be all peaceful and loving and "ain't gonna study war no more," what do you do about those who decide they're gonna go for a master's degree in war?

When you're fighting the bad guys, the line can get pretty thin between the good guys and the bad guys (Doc and Johnny Ringo).

Sometimes the good guys ain't all that good.

It's fine to sit around on the internet and blame people for not being perfect, but life is tougher and more complex than that.

Carrying weapons makes for a polite society....
In the summer I wouldn't leave a vehicle in the bush unattended overnight.....but during hunting season, we often leave a vehicle overnight on the road when the camp is miles in the bush and can be accessed only with off road vehicles....

Carrying weapons makes for a fearful society.
If we have any kind of altercation you will shoot me to solve it.
You know, if I'm not polite enough.
