LOL @ firearms training and 'staying safe'
I love double entendre...
No shooting ppl pls colpy, life is precious, and you don't want to go to jail either
Put away the bubbly, boys.......
I'm back!
Speaking of firearms and safety..............in NB, PEI, and NS our company employs about 100 people.
The first thing we do when we go to work is arm ourselves with loaded handguns. The last thing we do before we leave work is put these handguns away (unloaded, of course). We carry loaded shotguns in our vehicles.
About three quarters of our employees are on the road. They spend about a quarter of their time in the office, loading and unloading trucks, etc.
So, if you add up the person-hours spent armed, and the person hours spent on vehicles , our company employess spend twice as many person-hours armed as they do traveling in vehicles.
In the eight and 1/2 years I've been there, there have been 3 accidents with firearms. (accidental discharges). No one, that's NO ONE was harmed.
Driving in vehicles?
1 dead
2 on permanent disability
4 with broken bones.
minor injuries too numerous to mention.
WHICH IS MORE DANGEROUS? Guns or vehicles?
Vehicles.
Infinitely more dangerous.
