But remember what thread you're in. Whadday think Jimmy Bondo'll have in HIS handbag?
A chaw of tarbackey, a possum belly sandwich and the .45 revolver he carries around to keep himself safe from bars.
"Huntin' Grizz"
I've only had five knives pointed at me (and three other guys) once, in a waterfront dive blues guitar club in St. John's called "Dirty Dicks"
They let us go and bought us beers AFTER they determined that we were NOT U.S. Navy.
When they found out you were Canadian Navy, they probably dropped their knives laughing.
Half of the Navy were Newfies. They were trying to figure out if we were cousins.

AUSTRALIA’S WORST MASS SHOOTING IN 22 YEARS: Family members slaughtered inside, outside rural Australia home

Police forensics investigate the death of seven people in a suspected murder-suicide in Osmington, east of Margaret River, south west of Perth, Australia Friday, May 11, 2018.
CANBERRA, Australia — A family of seven including four children was found dead with gunshot wounds Friday at a rural property in southwest Australia in what could be the country’s worst mass shooting in 22 years, police and news media said.
The children died with their mother and grandparents. The three generations had moved in 2015 to Osmington, a village of fewer than 700 people near the tourist town of Margaret River, to grow fruit, media reported.

Police would not comment on the possibility of murder-suicide, but said they are not looking for a suspect.
After being alerted by a phone call before dawn, police found the bodies and two guns at the property, Western Australia state Police Commissioner Chris Dawson said. Police wouldn’t say who made the call.
The bodies of two adults were found outside a house and the others were found inside. They all resided at the property, he said.

Police said they have no information that would raise concerns about wider public safety, suggesting a shooter is not at large.
“Police are currently responding to what I can only describe as a horrific incident,” Dawson told reporters.
“This devastating tragedy will no doubt have a lasting impact on the families concerned, the whole community and, in particular, the local communities in our southwest,” he added.

Police were attempting to make contact with the victims’ relatives, Dawson said. He declined to release the names or ages of the dead.
Philip Alpers, a Sydney University gun policy analyst, said the tragedy appeared to be the worst mass shooting in Australia since a lone gunman killed 35 people in Tasmania state in 1996, prompting the nation to introduce tough gun controls.
Australia’s gun laws are widely acclaimed as a success, with supporters including former U.S. President Barack Obama saying Australia has not had a single mass shooting since they were implemented.

The generally accepted definition of a mass shooting — four deaths excluding the shooter in a single event — has been met only once in Australia since then. In 2014, a farmer shot his wife and three children before killing himself.
Police have revealed few details about the recent killings, and it is not clear whether there was more than one shooter.
Farmers are allowed to own guns under Australian law because they have a legitimate need to use them to kill feral pests and predators or sick or injured livestock. But automatic and semi-automatic rifles and shotguns are banned from public ownership.
Osmington is a collection of a few streets, farms, vacation accommodations and vineyards supplying the premium winemaking district known as Margaret River.
Samantha Lee, chair of the Gun Control Australia lobby group, said rural areas were over-represented in Australian gun deaths, including suicides.
“Regional and rural areas are particularly vulnerable to these sorts of tragedies, because of the combination of isolation, sometimes mental or financial hardship and easy access to firearms,” Less said in a statement.
“Although the details of this tragedy are yet to come to light, Australia has a tragic history of higher rate of gun deaths in rural areas,” she added.

Florida university student Wenliang Sun deported over strange behaviour

Wenliang Sun
ORLANDO, Fla. — A Florida university student who police said exhibited strange behaviour and had purchased high-powered rifles has been deported.
The Orlando Sentinel reports 26-year-old Wenliang Sun was in federal custody for about three months before he was deported to China on Tuesday.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Tammy Spicer says Sun is prohibited from returning to the United States for at least 10 years.
University of Central Florida police began investigating Sun after he made “unusual statements” to a counsellor last year.
Police discovered he had legally purchased two high-powered rifles. He told them he didn’t intend to harm himself or anyone else and there were no specific threats.
A judge revoked his visa in February when officials learned he wasn’t attending class, which is a requirement of the visa.

I guess my point is it appears that the same people that are against firearms are in favor of drugs even when drug deaths in one month are so high
