You gotta go to a dealer and buy a sticker for your outdoors card. Mine still has another year on it

I'm gonna be ripping my hair out by the time that thing gets to BC...Go Canada

How could I ever consider moving away from here. I wanna go fishing now

Rick, I'm not saying get sloshed and test the law. I'm saying you are renting basically a cabin on the lake for the night and you are allowed to have a beer or 2. Getting drunk and going around the lake is drunk out of residence, and not what I am recomending. Even up here if we leave our camp site and go fishing we will be charged if caught. As said above, you can't just anchor and drink, residence means living there and that means at least for the night. If you are packed up the next day and leaving it is no longer a residence. And if you have a 14' boat and a tent on shore a shovel is your facilities. But it is the law. it is drinking out of residence and if you pre drink and are drunk when you go out then its drunk in public. Pick your times to drink. Alcohol isn't a requirement for fun. And generally a cop will consider the circumstances and act acordingly. I have pulled plenty of crap in my day and not been busted for anything yet.

We stayed at Ravenscroft as well. 7 or so years ago now. My daughter and I got into eyes every night after we found them. We were drifting over rock to a sand spot and picking them up if we could get through the rocks without a snag. She said. Dad and I looked at her rod and it was bent right over. I said great, a snag already. She looked at me with a little grin and said, nope...its tugging. I watched it for a minute and it never moved, so I said, naw, thats a snag, as it took off and pulled her hands right to the water. It was pretty neat watching her bring that thing in. 16 at the time

Try and make it work to do what...like really, what is it supposed to do? I guess like a politician he stopped the explanation just when it would have meant something

I like the part where, when you purchase ammo say at CT they want your address to write down beside the bullets you bought and then leave it where anybody can read it and go straight to the address for the gun they want. personally, I tell them I'm homeless, if they won't write down homeless then I say 123 sesame st.

He was lying to you. Its your residence so you can drink there. You could have a tent and a pee pot, as long as you are spending the night you can drink.

Thats a heck of an 'if" to spend 2 billion dollars on. And when you find out who the kid stole the gun from, what are you going to do about it, put him in jail for 20 years for unsafe storage causing death...they don't even do that for drunk driving causing death. Any decent cop would be able to figure out where the long gun came from anyway. I would rather face a criminal with a gun in my hands...but my guns aren't for home defense, and they are locked up, so I guess I gotta go at the pistol toting criminal with a baseball bat. He better hope his aim is goot cause one wack with this hardwood and he is a gonner. You tell me that you will keep his gun away from him and I will gladly register mine

I'm noy buying it. its excessive. the person is dangerous, not the weapon. look at in the UK where guns are illegal. they are all turning to knives now. There are safe storage laws. You can't leave a gun laying around. how bout some judges enforcing laws that we have. there was a guy up here last year that got busted during a search warrant with a loaded unregistered and him unlicensed pistol under his pillow and some cocaine. He got a $500.00 fine for the cocaine and a $400.00 fine for the gun charges. Show me some enforcement and I will register my guns. my friend mistakenly allowed his license to expire and he had to get me to hold his guns or have the police pick them up till he got it renewed or he would have been charged. I just don't buy all the junk for honest people. its like 2 sets of rules

you gotta license your dog..how bout registering each bowl of food it eats..then they would have a better idea how big it is. I don't drive a gun on the road...i carry it. its 2 entirely different things. You are just trying to justify registration by comparing it to a car. the solution is just license the gun owners..such as was done for years...why push it so far for no rel gain. Do you really see any gain?

No, thats not quite what I mean...what I mean is I didn't notice the part about the neighbore house because if we looked at a wolf here it likely wouldn't be toward a house..it would more likely be clear shooting. kinda like the guy shooting the pet deer from the road...we are allowed to up here...off the "travelled" portion

1 mile...and i visit there lots..but there is enough better here to keep me here

so what...what does that have to do with guns?..we are talking guns..not cars and the "you people" is the non gun owners that don't care how the government wastes money as long as it doesn't affect them

You people just don't pay attention do you. Why can't the cop just look and see if the guy has a license. That will pretty much tell him if there are LEGAL guns in the house...why waste another billion to have him know there may be 2 guns in the house And what cop ever says..well the registry says he doesn't have guns so wer'e cool on this one. Can you just tell me why, and a real why, not some cops answer, your answer...why is it a good idea to register them when you already have to have a license to even pick one up

A wolf yes...i keep thinking coyote. I saw a pair of timber wolves a couple years ago, jet black on one and silver on the other..beautiful

Definetly a tragedy. I feel for you and your town TJ..very sorry. my daughter lives in North Bay and i know that stretch of highway. I witnessed a death there a few years ago.

Because in the US you are considered an adult. in Canada the government wants to be your mama

First off, a gun isn't inherently dangerous, any more than a car or a knife are. You don't need a license to operate a butcher knife, and you don't have to register each one you own. Second, registering guns has nothing to do with licensing a person to own and handle a gun. I believe in licensing, PAL/POL This does help keep the nuts from buying guns. if you are mentally unstable, you can't get a gun license. this is a good thing but not the be-all and end-all to safety. Once you have a license, I can see no good in spending billions more on registering every gun and serial number on them. keep in mind that the registry was brought in well after licensing. If the NRA etc would have advised everybody to register their guns the system would have been so swamped it would have crashed. Nobody that does not have a PAL/POL is legally allowed to even pick up a gun. You can't even ask to look at one in a gun shop. This brings me to another point. I have personally witnessed 2 MPP's shooting guns and I know darn well that neither of them has the proper licensing. If I would have had a camera at the time........ they were at a gun club and don't even know they were breaking the law. I wasn't sure at the time because i thought that maybe with instructors there it might make them legal. I have since found that even when taking the gun safety course all guns must be disabled to make it legal for students to handle them. If a few people paid attention to this and laid the proper charges, we wouldn't need a registry rescinding the registry also has nothing to do with licensing. You will still need to get a PAL/POL. You just won't have to tell them about every little 22 you own.

you got lucky on this one. Good thing the people handling it don't know what they are doing either. POL/PAL's have nothing to do with the gun registry. You were in extreme violation of the law by letting that expire

For the cops that aparently negligently put out the spike belt

Another non gun owner who doesn't care how the government pushes people around as long as it doesn't affect them. it would be nice though if other people knew what they were talking about

My daughter got a nine lb walleye out of there in July. Not this July

I keep forgetting how populated you guys are

No gun handy?
