When someone on the street asks me for money I simply tell them no but I ask them if they could take a cheque! The looks I get are always good for a chuckle ...

When I was in the Army several years ago, I couldn't qualify with the M16, because my right eye is weak. Me too. I always managed to qualify but with only with an "average" score. I felt embarrassed because half the squad shot better than me when I knew that I was capable of a higher...

I live with a very smart, rational, beautiful woman. Irrational thought is based on emotion. Humans employ logic or emotion to their thought processes. That is why intelligent people will sometimes say ridiculous things. "Stupid" ideas are the result of emotion, not logic ...

This story does seem a little odd. A 29 year old with several years of military service should have had enough life experience to know when to keep their mouth shut. Sometimes it's best "to say as little as possible to as few people as possible as seldom as possible". CYA ...

Browning HP = Model T Ford. Simple, rugged, functional. It's the granddaddy of everything that followed...

My hobbies are firearms, rifles, guns, pistols, old tractors and more guns ... :)

I would ask the anti to imagine asking anyone whose ever been beaten, robbed or murdered if they felt that they had been adequately protected by the police ...

We used to use a pest control round called "Bird Fright" to keep flocks of birds out of the landing pattern of aircraft. It was fired from any standard "full open" 12 gauge SG and it produced a delayed pyrotechnic air burst. It might not be the best thing for this particular application but I...

Okay, I'm completely confused. I haven't seen the movie but after reading the preceding posts I can't seem to fathom the purpose of this picture. Some of you are saying that the movie is "anti" yet it is entitled "The Brave One". Did the title mean to imply that bravery is a desirable...

Thanks all for the comments, they're appreciated. Many of you have suggested that my friend's perspective may be the result of his own "anger management issues". I hadn't taken that into consideration. I've decided that it's probably best that I don't try to encourage him to apply for a CCW...

I have a friend who is very much into guns. He is an avid hunter and strongly supports the concept of home defence. I've recently decided to apply for a CCW permit and invited him to join me in the endeavor. He declined stating that they "shouldn't allow anyone to carry a gun" as he wouldn't...

It boggles my mind how it is that the anti cannot understand that gun control does not affect crime. I suppose that is why there can never be a satisfactory reconciliation between the anti's and us. Pro-gun folks employ fact/reality based rationale whereas the anti is mired in convoluted...

Surprise surprise! Canadian criminals abide by gun laws as well as the American criminals ...

Jerry Morris, I don't understand why so many of the posts on this thread are affording the author so much latitude. I thought that it was blatantly obvious that this fellow has an agenda ...

brentn, this is beginning to sound like something that's worth pursuing. Just imagine, if enough of us apply maybe Utah and Alberta could establish some sort of CCW permit reciprocity :) :) :)

Euclidean, I am betting that you're correct reference that the Utah CCW for Canadians is probably a symbolic gesture. However, where did you get the notion that it is difficult for a Canadian to obtain a handgun? I'm Canadian and I own several handguns. I also have several friends who...

So how does a Canadian go about obtaining a Utah CCW? What's the first step???

Obsessed? Definitely! Much the same way as LEO's are obsessed with protecting the public, doctors are obsessed with saving lives and fire fighters are obsessed with extinguishing fires. To each their own ...

I can't really fault the article as the author did make some valid points. The first time someone handed me a S&W revolver I was amazed at the weight and feel of the weapon. I could barely hold it in one hand but I suppose that the gun wasn't really balanced for the grip of a six year old...
