I don't promote that I'm NRA or have guns, but, that's why I have ADT.

On a side note, this must be a different Toronto than the one you're bragging about.

17-year-old sought in fatal shooting | Toronto & GTA | News | Toronto Sun (http://www.torontosun.com/2012/04/19/17-year-old-sought-in-fatal-shooting - broken link)

Teen injured in drive-by shooting in northwest Toronto - Toronto - CBC News

Police name brothers killed in north Toronto shooting | CTV Toronto

All from the last few days in beautiful Toronto, although I'm sure now you'll explain that those sorts of things never happen in your part of Toronto because you're smart and you stay away from places where guns might be needed for protection.



Unfortunately I can't rep this post right now....

What part of "shall not be infringed" calls for "reasonable laws"?

Once in a while someone gets hurt in the cross fire..but these are rare..and the numbers are not of great concern...unless like in the Jane Greba case..when they kill one of ours by mistake then we shut them down.


You on the other hand dive deep into the poo...we stay out of trouble.





For those Americans not in favor of an out right gun culture- I suggest that you apply to immigrate to Canada..we could use more good people...


LMAO- too predictable....."It can't happen to me in my section of town and I'm too smart to be a victim"

I prefer that no one know if I am carrying or not. That is for me to know and an assailant to find out.

In Pa, there are certain prohibited areas, but for the most part you can carry just about any where and you can actually open carry without LTC, but you cannot wear it while driving. Places that prohibit, have to put a sign up or if they know you are carrying, they can ask you to leave or take your gun to your car.

I used to work for a company that had many offices in Canada and I got to know a lot of Canadians. They share some common traits:

Jealousy of Americans

Big ego with very little to back it up

This assumes that people are following all the reasonable laws of their concealed carry permit (if needed) and they are legally capable of holding that permit (no felony record or whatever that state says).
Apsolutely, and yes I do carry and I am licenced by the state of Texas. Do I carry all the time, no, but there are times and places when having one is the best safety choice.

Allow me to correct this post:

You need to actually have credibility before you can lose it. He never had any at all to begin with.......

Don't want to sound rude..but being up here in Toronto..it's not an issue yet...and yes- there are some guns but very rare on the over all...We never let it get that bad that we need weapons to feel secure.

As for your question - seeing that you have a thriving gun culture...to carry or not to carry? I guess it's okay..but to carry a concealed weapon for no good reason just makes you a bit of a nut....if there is a valid reason- go head...BUT if you are bright and intelligent..Your mind is all you need...Unless you are a bit dumb and looking for trouble...No I am not anti-gun...just anti jerk/
That would be fine if we could trust our government or criminals didn't have guns, but it is not the case.
