Maybe Americans aren't too pleased about the prospect of being locked up forever without charges, due process or legal recourse of any kind, simply because obamed doesn't like who they are or what they stand for.

When I was in Raton New Mexico three years ago, in a gun shop, a woman and her kids came in to buy a handgun. I was talking to her and she told me no creep would ever get near her or touch her or her family now. I did not question if she was inferring harm had befallen them/her but I loved the attitude.

Anyone here in canuckistan be they police chief, bureaucrat, or whatever is a woman hating, pro rapist, pro crime lieberal fool for denying people and especially women the RIGHT to concealed carry.

I will be heading to the USA to take a close friend of mine out to a gun shop, to custom fit/match a good hangun to her long slender fingers. That handgun will provide protection to her and to her husband :shock: (yes he knows about me and actually approves of "Edward's concerns and solution) at all times at home, holidaying, travelling and hiking the many places they frequent. Their state is a concealed carry state and make no mistake about it, this gal has been victimized in the past and no way will she be victimized ever again. :)

She is thorough, focused, and as capable as me or anyone I know in her ability to pull the trigger when faced with a do or be done situation. I have never felt safer than I do when I am in open carry or concealed carry states surrounded by armed citizens. The system here is pro criminal in denying the right to the CHarter entrenched "security of the person", in favor of aiding criminals to have an armed advantage over their targets, especially women. That makes the system accomplice to rape, robbery and murder and the real criminals are the politically correct lieberals hwo thus aid and abet criminals by keeping innocent victims unarmed and vulnerable. :-k

That is but ONE reason I hate lieberals and consder them a threat to freedom and justice, and none more so than the gunaphobic bigots of the police chief associations.
Please let me know if I said something that offended you. I may want to offend you again sometime.

That is precisely what it is and those in any nation so discouraged won't give a damn what the law says.

Down here, we are "being nibbled to death by ducks"- countless nonsensical laws, and worse, regulations enacted by bureaucrats who are accountable to no one.

The light bulb outlawing ( Which has not been rescinded, just defunded- it can come back at any time, the funding buried so deep in one of those multi-thousand page bills those idiots in DC call "laws..." ) is the tip of a vast iceberg ( Low-flow shower heads, low flush toilets, seatbelt laws & child restraint laws & regulations. ) making everyone a potential criminal.

Did you know that one of Miss MaryAnn's friends is breaking a local law by "harboring more than three cats in a house?"

Yes, this deadly criminal is still roaming free, endangering That Happy Isle...

At some point otherwise honest citizens throw up their hands in disgust and say, "Fine- everything I do is against some law or regulation or something, so I'll just keep my head down and live as I see fit. Hell with you & your laws."

There's a point whereby first rate, law abiding citizens who wouldn't jaywalk are breaking laws then maybe the law itself is wrong.

I had a Christmas Party at Tees, Alberta last night. (Look it up for fun) It was a dry affair but there was much cocktail mixing in the dark in the lot at the hall. I had to drive so it was (I'm not kidding now) Root Beer for me. If you sleep in your car intoxicated you get an impaired charge and conviction here if the keys are on your person. You wisely CHOOSE not to drive in a town without a motel and still get nailed. I expect this is why only half the company came to the party and if that continues - company cost vs. participation - there will ultimately be no party at all.

I've always had cab chits in the past provided to all at the firm of 14 years. Driving was a violation of corporate policy and they paid to prohibit it. Not so with the new firm and location now. There is no cab service, nor hotel in Tees, Clive, Mirror, Bashaw or Joffre, AB. Drinking meant driving to Ponoka, Lacombe or Red Neck Deer - or getting a DUI sleeping in the car in Tees NOT driving. I guzzled Root Beef with hyper children, so I understand why half the staff don't go.
