damn website
just sat here and composed a nice reply - took a bit of time and this damn website tossed me out because I took too long -
grrrrr
Apparently a 30 minute typing exercise gone down the drain. Heres the gist:
leave current handgun rules towards ownership and transport the way they are, they are adequate and IMO - reasonable. If some damn fool wants to wave a handgun around and threaten others then he/she gets what they deserve. We should be storing all firearms safely - although I can't remember any farm houses I have visited that didn't have a 30 30 behind the door ready to go. That would be considered safe storage.
Open carry in the bush for small game/varmints only - I would not support any thought towards a big game season, long gun hunters are disadvantaged enough over those with arrows and smoke poles. Our season would be Oct 32/33 for two hours at high noon. We need to claw back decent hunting seasons from the primitive crowd - not add more options to an already messed up hunting season.
