I mention I can kill a man with my bare hands in *tilts head, unfocuses eyes and starts counting aloud* ways. Sometimes I exaggerate slightly by including ways I know of, but don't know the exact how(like the classic neck breaker, however I know other ways of breaking necks), but I run out of fingers to count on even without the exaggeration.<br /><br />If you want to make them think, make them consider how many ways they know, then ask if they're dangerous and should be locked away.Mikaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894602732468692375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-24577006340670828412009-12-15T20:56:45.550-05:002009-12-15T20:56:45.550-05:00Antique Mall in NW Ohio has some decrepit and non-...Antique Mall in NW Ohio has some decrepit and non-functional muzzleloaders or pre-18 junkers hanging out here'n there in dealer booths. Includes a percussion shotgun with NO locks and a solid bar of rust with wood stock fragments attached. <br /><br />Some anonymous pants-wetter calls a complaint in to the Mall and says they found the guns to be frightening and felt threatened by their presence, when shopping there.<br /><br />Prohibition on open display, and 'locked in a glass case' mandate handed down to the offending terrorist-dealers.<br /><br />Some gun folks pointed out that NONE of the proscribed articles could be loaded or fired, including the klunker antique ca'tridge guns with no firing pins.<br /><br />"Well, that doesn't matter.

Handguns are "restricted weapons" in Canada, meaning that in addition to getting special permission to obtain them, you _also_ need to get special permission to transport them--a separate permit for each _route_ you plan to take. The permit to take your handgun from home to Bruce's House of Maple Syrup and Guns doesn't allow you to take it from home to Nigel's Hockey Rink and Shooting Range. <br /><br />So even if the Toronto police _would_ issue a license to buy a handgun, and even if they'd _then_ issue a permit to transport it from a home to an office (which I doubt), it'd still be unbelievably rare for anybody to go to all that trouble. A gun in an office in (most of) the US is a non-issue. A gun in an office in Canada _could_ reasonably be interpreted as a signal that something bad's about to go down.elmo iscariothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14710846725911318970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-30145345755415890312009-12-15T16:46:56.383-05:002009-12-15T16:46:56.383-05:00I'm still amazed the cops even responded to a ...I'm still amazed the cops even responded to a call like that.
