And you never have to worry about being excluded from certain parts of town under threat of physical harm.

Me personally, I'd like to see them legal in Canada. Realistically, that is a pipe dream at the moment.

Gangs are just helpless tools in the hands of a handgun in Turdeau's mind.

Suppressors should definitely be legal in Canada but with all that's been going on lately, I would be happy if the bans they are planning fall through and everything stays the same.

Trudeau only cares about looking good in front of his UN buddies and saving face. The circus that they made out of the L'ecole Polytechnique anniversary is disgusting.

Blair is talking about going through OIC to ban "assault weapons" while lying in parliament with statements like "police chiefs across the country have been talking for years about banning these types of weapons" which could not be further from the truth.

This time around he is not releasing a list because he's afraid its going to cause an increase in firearm purchases like last time - #BillSentMe but I fear that it's going to be something along the lines of "anything with a detachable magazine" except .22LR

I genuinely hope that this minority government wont be able to do any damage within the time frame they have available.

Lining in Tennessee - the "patron state of shooting stuff" - sure must be like a fantasy to some of the posters on here. Guns and open carry are a way of life here.

One of the things I would like to do is figure how to modify something within reach inside the car to conceal a pistol yet have quick access. I mounted one of those modular Blackhawk Serpa holsters vertically in the console of my 2001 Ford truck. That holds a full-sized 1911 perfectly and completely complies with the law.

My 88 GT Mustang had a section of door panel detached from the rest of the door panel, converted into a spring loaded flip-out panel, and a couple of '87 mustang electric gas tank releases to hold the panel shut. Closed, it was a perfect fit. Push the left horn button and the panel pops open. Sure wish I could do that to my BMW, but the door panel is not shaped right for that.

Has anybody modified their F30 to conceal a pistol??

Everybody keeps talking about these exclusion zones, they must be pretty exclusive as i've yet to find this Unicorn.

I've worked in some shitty parts of the Uk, and in fact the US (Chicago - enough said) and outside of exercising common sense and basic risk assessment have never felt threatened.

The internet "educated" are a bizarre bunch.

Then you've never been in the right part of Chicago.

Do a Google map search for "check cashing" or "payday loans" and find a neighborhood with a bunch of 'em. Drive there, park at the curb near a busy intersection, and roll all your windows down and just sit there and let the "cultural opportunities" begin. It'll be an enriching experience. For them, at least.

Lol. I worked for a biotech in Chicago for almost 3 years. If you don't think there are areas that you shouldn't go to in Chicago, either haven't been there or you aren't very smart.

During the the weekend of the American Diabetes Association meeting in 2013...June if I remember correctly, there were 12 or 13 killings and over 50 or 60 other casualties.

Chicago may have some really rough neighborhoods, but it makes up for it by being a complete financial cluster-fuck.

Don't forget the winters. I was at Kellogg for some training and if a snowflake passed your face it wasn't going to hit the ground for 10 miles. Misery with a side order Total BS.

Still, one of my fav places in the summer!!

Where I live is 10-15 degrees colder than Chicago, and my cabin is another 10 degrees colder than that, on average. Would be a shocker if you're coming from the South, though. My GF's sons both live in Chicago, so I'm there several times a year.

Apparently the pizza delivery driver had a gun in his car.......

The driver was armed and shot both robbery suspects, Dallas police sources told WFAA. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/cr...3-23f4680d1053

Yeah, I don't know if you've seen CNN, but this can not be true, guns are never used for self defense, in fact all guns run around killing people by themselves.

Why the pot shot at CNN?

They are one of the most 'vocal' pushers of the anti-gun narrative, in my opinion.

Not that I've seen. And your CNN comment still seems to come out of the blue. My post was from WFAA, not CNN. My post had nothing to do with CNN.

It did come out of the blue it was a joke. I read the article, it appears to be a 'good' self defense shooting. The common narrative (from CNN and others) is that guns are strictly used for crime and not self defense.

I can see how this would be troubling to you, what with being a self proclaimed 'pirate and thief' (that was another joke)

do they sell weed at these busy intersections?

Yes, and you'd be well advised to buy some and share it generously. It might be your only hope.

Cabrini–Green was a Near North-side neighborhood in Chicago even the cops hesitated to visit. Bad neighborhood. Chicago gave up rehabbing that neighborhood and chose to tear it down sometime around '95. I was in Chicago from '82 to '85, Cabrini-Green was a famous no-go zone.

I know that's right! Christmas day '82 the wind chill was 100 below zero. Radio was warning everybody to stay indoors unless your place was on fire because any exposed skin would freeze in three minutes.
Of course, being the dumb college kid I was, I just had to ride around in my Cougar and check things out. So stupid. Any water in my gas line and I would have been a frozen dumb college kid.

First, as a lifelong NY-Metro resident, it is a foreign concept to carry... at least legally.

I have an accomplished background in customizing vehicles professionally. This includes building more than my share of hidden "mobile safes" in vehicles. Often it would become a little funny when we would ask the client how large the safe needed to be. They'd kinda dance around the answer. Nobody really wanted to outright say they wanted a stash box for a gun (or drugs). That's far from legal around here. Of course, some people legitimately needed mobile safes... Like the (Manhattan) diamond district guys I've catered to.
