You guys suck !

[vcrmack]

Love the SBS you can have back home ! For how different and easy it is to own firearms in the States , the short barreled shotgun takes a lot of effort to own .

AK's , AR's everything else but no class 3 for me ...

Nice to see them - looking good !

( and you don't suck BTW ) just jealous ...

 

[pitdogboy]

Hey bro....

 

[vcrmack]

What's happening ? Lived in Whistler for 8 years - until '99 . Where do you go shooting around Squamish ?

 

[pitdogboy]

I left Whis in 97. Was a patroller on Whistler Mnt. and a bus boy at the Rim Rock cafe at nights. I shoot at the club here, bush and clays at the Langley Rod and Gun with my pappy.

And yes I have a 14 Inch Fabarm martial 12 guage in my truck.

 

[vcrmack]

Not fair with the Fabarm . Not at all . Rimrock eh ? How about ... Johnny O - he must have been there when you were there ? Surely you've tilted a few at Citta? I'd bet we know some of the same people - what a small internet .


My only shotty is a Mossberg 590A1 , 8+1 / 12G . Then next is going to be a Stoeger coach gun , then a Mossberg tactical cruiser .

Still jealous though . Nothing like a small shotgun - how do you beat that .

400$ M14's are not bad either.

I spent a little time in Whistler around the same time. When I moved there from Sask I kept falling down especially after a couple drinks because I had no experience with the hills and everything was slanted. Still getting picked up by a super hot blonde cougar in a saab with black sabbath cranked, while hitchhiking made it quite worth a few bumps and scrapes.

Sweet.

Yeah no #### - I completely forgot to mention the suck about that too . At the gun shop yesterday the only M14 options are $1700.00 - $2200.00 for the Springfield scout . It's on my list but before that will come the MSAR STG .

I think I may be at the 'need' stage for an M14. I gots no .308 yet !

The Yugo M70 underfolder makes up for it though , but barely . I've become an AK slut down here . That hitchhiking never got old in Whistler , bet it's still going on .

So...we can have semi cool things we can ONLY take to a range. You can hunt coyote with a suppressed auto shorty AR if you're a good citizen.

You can drive around with that evil rig without any paperwork, or destinaton.

YES we do do suck, but sucking is the sensitive thing to do. Alot of "new Canadians" came from corrupt nations where people couldn't own guns...so why should we be allowed to own guns...right?

See that's the part that I hope we don't lose in Canada . You've hit the nail on the head here , once the guns are gone we're chucking rocks like in Tehran right now . Imagine what the possible outcome might be if the protesters were armed ? You may only be able to take them to a range , but you still have it ...

( and you don't suck - I was just kidding )

Wow I was worried that this was becoming a Whistler old timers thread lamenting about what Whistler used to be like!!!!LOL

That is your best post since I have been here anyway.

Where is that "This thread is useless without pictures" smiley when you need it.

It was close hehe . I bet I know you , well maybe . I've been gone for a while but I poured many a pint there

Probably you do but won't say here. Its actually too obvious!!! I've been in and of Whistler since '86 and sentenced to life since '95. Pitdogboy and I have met but only during a transaction here.

Ha ! Good times . Give me a hint . I worked the bar at :
Monks>
Citta>
Garfs> then bad injury and moved away .

There are worse places to get a life sentence . Do you play golf ?

Never really "got" the AK as a gun I would want to own. It makes a lot of sense as a weapon and the folding stock is handy especially in a vehicle but it seems like driving a yugo when you could drive a Caddy. A cool gun that manages to be illegal both places though is the Norinco .308 SVD. Can't have it in Canada because the AK type action is where all the "evil" lives and can't have it in the US because the free market does not apply to guns even to the Bushies.

Right now the US government is far more liberal than Canada's conservative dominated parliament.

Canada is not as bad as most people think, and parts of the US are awful like New York ,Washington DC and Kalifornia.
NY has this law because of 9/11 that was touted as a way to stop terrorists.
Under the "Stop ,Question ,frisk" statute LEO's have carte blanche to stop anyone and search them for any or no reason. This has been used especially to charge people with simple legal liner lock or one hand opening pocket knives to be charged as "gravity knives". An example of 1 guy who had a 2.75 inch bladed Mcusta folder and a previously clean record was 6 court appearances ,1000$ ,3 days community service and "ACD" which means if he has no charges for 6 months they dismiss the case. However he will have a permanent arrest record for life which means no federal jobs ,CCW etc.

I think what is going to happen in the US is all the big cities are going to have very strict gun laws so they will still have the second amendment but not where anyone lives.

This is what Toronto's fascist dictator is working towards as well.

The AK is one of my favorite that I own to shoot . It costs less than half as much to feed as my AR which is another bonus . I've held off on getting some others while the prices exploded down here , but I've seen some good examples down here lately so I won't be holding off for much longer .

The AR is my go to , but personally I love dirty old commie guns.

BTW have you heard about what US Customs is on about with folders ? Here is an email I received from SOG :

June 15, 2009
Greetings!

U.S. Customs wants to ban your pocket knife!

SOG Specialty Knives & Tools LLC, in support with The American Knife and Tool Institute (AKTI) opposes U.S. Customs' attempt to classify assisted-opening knives and all one-hand-opening knives as switchblades.

U.S. Customs proposes to bypass Congress and expand the switchblade definition to include all knives that open with one hand. These include multi-tools, traditional pocket knives, one-hand openers, as well as assisted-openers.

Statistics to consider about the knife industry and the possible effects of this ruling:

* U.S. Sporting Knife Industry has a $5.9 Billion Economic Impact on U.S. Economy
* 3,881 direct U.S. Employees at 61 Companies
* 35.6 Million Households Own Pocket Knives; 24.8 Million Own Hunting Knives
* Assisted-opening and one-hand-opening knives are 80 % of All Knives Sold
* 30-40 Million Public Safety, Non-Issue Military, Construction, Recreational Users

Material compiled and provided by AKTI

The majority of Americans who carry and use one-hand-openers every day need them for their jobs. They use them to save lives as well as for scores of recreational activities.

If U.S. Customs succeeds, it could lead to effectively banning all folding knives from interstate commerce.

We're asking you to register your opposition to the U.S. Customs' plan (19 CFR Part 177) to re-classify assisted openers and all folding knives.

You comments must arrive at U.S. Customs no later than June 21, 2009.

19 CFR Part 177
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Office of International Trade, Regulations and Rulings
Attention: Intellectual Property and Restricted Merchandise Branch
Mint Annex, 799 Ninth St. N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20229

If you don't think your letter will arrive in time, please fax or email a signed copy to us and we will forward it to US Customs on your behalf. Our fax number is (425) 771-6230. Please submit responses to us by noon on Friday, June 19th, 2009.

Please also express your concerns to your state Senators and Representatives.

Wow for someone with only 17 posts you are sure nailing some good ones. That US Customs one is scary! Nothing worse than "reclassifying" something that is perfectly legal as something it is not to get around having to actually go through making a law against it.
Canada customs is bad for that as well but at least it is not all one hand openers.


Have you ever tried any 5.45's? That is one I find really interesting and would love to try. I saw a 5.45 AR upper in one of the gun #### mags that really looked cool.

I've fired a Polish Tantal and had to fight off buying one a couple of times . The only Tantals around right now where I live have the goofy wire folding stock and I don't like it . The 5.45 is one of the last bastions of cheap ammo down here at the moment so if I see one around with a regular stock I'll be getting it immediately .

The knife thing is nuts - I heard about it but paid no attention to it until I got the email from SOG . Pretty crazy . In Utah you can own switchblades and OTF automatic knives , but they can run as much as some AK's ( like the Benchmade Infidel OTF ) so I'm not buying ...
