Cool!

I wonder if Canadians can attend.

:)

Seriously, so what is the big deal? All perfectly legal. Up to a very few years ago, and perhaps still, you could go to Gagetown on Armed Forces Day and shoot C-7s (Canadian designation for the M-16)

Much ado about nothing.

BTW, those kids at Virginia Tech were in a right to carry state.....but their rights were truncated by the university, which had banned guns on campus. Therefore only the bad guy willing to break the rules was armed............tragedy.

We are truely getting stupid when we disarm the average good citizen.......and leave him defenseless in the face of evil.

The Virginia Tech tragedy happened because Cho was able to have access to firearms even though he was declared to be mentally unfit. As long as movies and television make heros out of Rambo and Arnie, and hand guns are easily accessible, we will continue to see this kind of disaster.

Uh huh. If your willing to kill someone and break the law.. your gonna have a gun regardless.

Im to also understand he was into casual drug use, which is banned. Pot is banned yet 1/3rd of Canadians smoke it.

But you can take this however you want it. There is no reason anyone you think is fit to cast a ballot in an election is not fit to own a gun. If they are not responsible enough for one, they are not responsible enough for the other.

You can take that as either we need to stop trying to outlaw guns, or we need to strip the right to vote away from most people. But anything else is just illogical.

There's a gun club in my area who used to do this.
You donate by buying rounds to shoot off.
They had a .50 cal automatic there one year.

I think they had to stop for insurance reasons.

A girlish gun. Handy for the purse but I like something with a little more stopping power.



This rascal looks great and give you plenty of bang for the buck. You bet the vandals and TPers pass by my place and just keep going when out making the rounds. Not so hot for close up and a little conspicuous but there really is nothing I like better to back me up when I yell "Start running you SOB!"
Warning, you may want to check local housing bylaws as a permit may be required for the front lawn installation. :lol:

I stand to be corrected but I believe the license plates from New Hampshire say "Live free or die"....

Too bad I'm on such bad terms with the PTB in the U.S. I wouldn't mind living somewhere where people believed in personal responsibility for their actions.
