  1. Jmho, I wouldn't support this activity anywhere near me and I would be sure to tell him that. If it costs me 700 bucks that I didn't have in my pocket yesterday to make this point it would worth it in my eyes. Yes he may find it anyway, but I would be sleeping better if the place strip mined and I didn't help him for 700 bucks.

  2. Sorry roy, I was on the mobile version and did a scan and didn't see anything, when I got home I saw the other thread... On the mobile version the second line of the posts don't show up. "Here we go again" is not very descriptive....

     

    Anyway when I filled up the jeep from a 1/4 tank it took 70 to fill. Better than waiting to friday and putting in 75 or 80. Why give them more if I don't have to?

     

    Funny thing is I moved to the city to cut down on the commute, I went from 1000km's a week just to work and back 5 days a week to 80km's a week. 8km's one way. I decided in the summer would try riding the bike to work, I am a bit hesitant due to the fear of getting flattened by a driver, but I think the gas price change will motivate me to make the change....at least for one day.

  3. The cops live in a world of aberrant behavior usually fueled by booze. As I said domestic calls are very scarey and under the duress of a painful domestic situation lubricated by alcohol "law abiding" citizens can and do go ape. Same goes for individuals that feel bullied, alienated etc.There's remorse afterward but by then the damage is done. The damage is mitigated if the perp does not have automatic or mega clip weaponry at their disposal. America is the test case that exemplifies this fact virtually every day

     

    So how does a gun registry help to prevent a person from using a gun in there Ape like state? And furthermore are you now referring to an automatic firearm? An automatic firearm is Prohibited in Canada. and Thus illegal. So if you have one it is not registered in a registry as you can't own it.

  4. Sal, I would be more worried about your precious Senioritas than the affairs of the Leafs. Only 2 points away from no playoffs.... Wash and Buffalo could put the Sens on the outside looking in... I think Wash plays the habs and Buffalo has a game against pits(on a 2 game losing streak) I'll be watching a few games this weekend. Unfortunatly it won't be the leafs game I have interest in.

  5. Unfortunately the Liberals made a complete botch of the whole thing but I certainly hope Canada never gets to the point of the USA where civilians can stockpile virtually any arsenal they want up to and including 50 cal sniper cannons and mega clip semi auto anti personnel weapons.

     

    Is there a difference between a pump action shotgun with a 25 round drum magazine and a .223 semi auto rifle with a 20 round magazine, or a .223 semi auto rifle with a 5 round magazine, or a double barrel double trigger side by side shotgun, or a .50 calibre Bolt action rifle?

     

    Some of these are prohibited, restricted and non restricted. I bet you may be surprised at what gets what classification. We have gotten way way off topic here but. I think either way no matter what I had or didn't have, I would think police should enter my home the very same way they would enter any other home.

     

    If there is a registered gun in a house, does that mean the officer enters the house with his sidearm unholstered with the safety off or if there is no gun registered should he enter the house with his gun locked away in his trunk? I don't get it.

  6. if icefishing rescue is billed then almost all rescues should be billed....is driving in the fog any safer then fishing on the ice...

     

    No but what about driving in the fog with your eyes closed at 200 mph

    or

    skiing on a closed hill due to avalanche warnings

    or

    hiking in forest when there is a forest fire in the area

     

    When you're told not to do something and you do it anyway and you as a grown adult should know better its no longer a freak act of nature... its your own fault... and as such you should be held accountable. If that means you foot the bill for your own stupidity so be it.

  7. The point I am making is simple. The MNR is supposed to manage our resources, and also represent our resource interests with the DFO. The MNR has been continually gutted over the past 3 decades, thus they are less and less capable of fulfilling the mandate. Why else do you think CO's have almost become an endangered species.

     

    Put simply it comes to this. We argue in circles, then meekly and quietly accept the losses, over and over again. Personally I think it's time to stand up and act or be quiet. We cannot always wait for a brave single individual to do all our fighting for us.

     

    Agreed but one must stand and rise so the rest can follow. Look at how many people have stood against the Gun Registry and how long that battle has been going on for. It would be a very difficult if not impossible fight to try and get the MnR funding back to old days.

     

    I am not nearly in the loop enough on what the MnR does with there share of the kitty to make any informed decision on weather or not they actually need more. I can say this, I have never seen a single govt organization crown or public operate efficiently without fat. I am fairly certain the MnR is no different. I think the Lib's called this round of budget cuts "Do more with Less" or something like that.

     

    How much more does the MnR need? 100 million, 200 million? a billion? I have no idea. How many CO's do they need per capita? I dunno. I doubt a brinks truck full of toonies would do much.

  8. So what is this thread about? Stomping queens park for the mnr or ottawa for the changes to the fisheries act? Someone get the plan worked out. The mnr bbudget always goes up the first year of an election and down the following years. Its just a cycle. Its just getting very very low of late. Ndp, pc and libs have all raised and cut mnr funding.

  9. So lets say you have your 1500 and you can put in what 2k pounds in the bed? Maybe stretch it out to 2500 pounds....

    So lets see here a toonie weigh 7.2 grams,

    2500 pound converted to grams 1133980 grams, divided by 7.2 grams, thats 157497 toonies Thats 6300 rolls of toonies

     

    Over 20 years.... 315 per year. So less than a roll per day....

     

    Ok I think a pickup truck full of toonies would be ok.

     

    hmm so at 7.99per pack plus tac for senko's that 34921 packs of senkos.

  10. What exactly are you trying to protest at Queens Park? Queens Park is Provincial, and thus in the hand of the Liberals in the hands of a minority govt. The next election barring a quick out is not for several years. I don't think the ontario liberals want to push for an election, not with the results of the last federal election so close at hand.

     

    I am all for a good protest and would certainly be willing to participate. Or even make a webpage for to distribute information. But the T's need to be crossed first before I could pledge my involvement.

     

    All fo the latest aingst has been directed quarely at the Conservatives so marching on the door step of the lib's may not be the best message.

  11. To be honest I think if anyone by there own stupidity endagers lives and costs huge bucks in rescue efforts, that they should be asked to do community service. Maybe clean up the docks or collect die off, or volunteer at a soup kitchen or something. Fines, yah maybe, if you don't want to lend a hand helping out.

  12. ellwood epps, williams arms and gagnons all sell used guns. The other place you coulch check is canadiangunnutz.com or one of the other fishing websites also does hunting stuff. Your best price on a used 870 will come from a person that just bought a winchester... baaahaha

  13. Obviously hopefully everyone recovers...but seriously who hasn't thought of a scenario similar to this...

    But damn twonies?

    Lets just say you drove by and noone was hurt and noone was around and you scooped up say 20k worth of toonies. What the heck would you do with them? You couldn't bank it duh. I guess you could spend it at the dollar store toonie at a time.

     

    Crazy times I tell yah. I mean the sheer logistics of trying to spend 4 million dollars in toonies that you couldn't put in the bank. Its insane.Even if you safely spent 10 dollars a day in toonies. thats 1095 years to spend it all. This is crazy. Damn. I mean clearly noone wold take money from an accident, but if you actually sit and think about it. Its just boggling my mind. Imagine being a millionaire and having to live off of toonies. ROFL

  14. The inertia assited pump action system is amazing once you shoot it you will fall in love. Unless of course you like ramming every shot home as hard as you can. Fastest Pump action shotguns in the world. Made the 1300 Speedpump even better. They are worth a look.

  15. that is why baseball players tend to play so long in their careers.......GO RED SOX ..... :thumbsup_anim:

     

    Oh no thats not why... Its steroids we all know that. That and the fact that baseball players outside of the pitcher and catcher sit and scratch there arse for 2 hours. Its a pretty low impact game. notice I said game and not sport. Baseball is perhaps the most boring game in the world to watch. If I need a good sleep I'll toss on a baseball game and sleep soundly for 6 hours.

     

    Curling, Golf, Womens beack volley ball.... I would watch any of these over baseball...Heck I may even watch the hotgod eating championships as long as its not being held inside of a baseball park.
