Don't make me come down there. I'll bring my hockey stick with me and then you'll be scared. Maybe!Van Dyer said:

WHY WHY WHY would you ever want to bring a hockey stick into the U.S. We have no need for them. Please leave them at home. Our Custom agents are geared up for that sort of smuggling and will find that hockey stick even if it means doing a body cavity search.
Besides, don't we have x-rays geared to finding those things? :lol:ElBando said:WHY WHY WHY would you ever want to bring a hockey stick into the U.S. We have no need for them.

Re: Relax !!
Poleman,
Actualy you can bring bear spray across the border. I took some across in July. I was told that as long as it was in a large unconcealable container (too big to fit in your pocket) and marked for bear use I could enter with it. So I did.
As for bear spray, you cannot bring it across the border, but once across it is easy to find in any outdoors store.

Here's a question to our Northern neighbors (Canadians) under the protection of the US. If it so safe up there in the great North then why do your LEO's carry firearms?
One would think from all these posts you wrote about Canada being so safe and no firearms are needed, a reasonable person would also come to the conclusion that just wearing a LEO's uniform, badge, baton, bullet proof vest and handcuffs were all that is needed, what are the Canadian LEO's afraid of since they must carry firearms? Wild animals or drug crazed dealers, that don't exist?
Hint, if its unsafe for a LEO to be unarmed its unsafe for a citizen to be unarmed as well!

BTW, Since you Canadians won't trust me with my sidearm, I won't trust you with my wallet. Enough said...
You're both right. I guess I was getting as irrational as some others in this thread. Hmm, you don't have radar for pucks do you? I can always by a stick down there but you can't beat a good old frozen Canadian puck.All Boots No Saddle said:Besides, don't we have x-rays geared to finding those things? :lol:ElBando said:WHY WHY WHY would you ever want to bring a hockey stick into the U.S. We have no need for them.

Because of Americans carrying illegal firearms up here in our peaceful land of serenity. LEO's also have snowballs, hockey sticks and pucks. Be afraid. Be very afraid. What kind of wallet do you have? I like alligator ones.cptdenny said:Here's a question to our Northern neighbors (Canadians) under the protection of the US.

PS: Thanks for that free protection you speak of. We appreciate it.

To protect us from the crazy americans that can't understand that other people have the right to self determination, and perhaps the american way isn't the best way for everyone.cptdenny said:Here's a question to our Northern neighbors (Canadians) under the protection of the US.

That sounds like a contradiction. Maybe its all that free healthcare and pills you're all on... :shock:Locksmith said:To protect us from the crazy americans that can't understand that other people have the right to self determination, and perhaps the american way isn't the best way for everyone.cptdenny said:Here's a question to our Northern neighbors (Canadians) under the protection of the US.

Americans and Canadians are much more alike than they are different!
Of course there are differences in the form of government, but no matter where you live, one fact of life is inescapable: the more gun control there is, the higher the crime rate goes. Some people really chaff at this fact, but it's been proven over and over again.
Gun control only assures that honest, law-abiding citizens are disarmed. Pass all the laws you want and the bad guys will always have their guns.

Right On Boots & Saddles!!! Anyone with half a brain knows that it's the person that commits a crime, can't blame it on a piece of wood and steel. If I were a Canadian I would rather have an honest American with a gun next to me than a criminal with a hockey stick. And let me say this also: I would rather have an honest Canadian with a gun next to me here in the USA versus a dishonest American. Doesn't matter what country you are from, it all boils down to good versus evil.
Better living through chemistry I always say. By pills do you mean the ones that Americans are buying at an astounding rate through Canadian on line pharmacies because the same ones in your country are too expensive for the ordinary person?cptdenny said:That sounds like a contradiction.

After all, it was built in Canada.
Oh! BTW you bring the beer! Hmmm...“Drunk Kunooks and Americans with Hockey sticks and guns”. Far out! Man, that sounds like it could be a “Dead Kennedy’s” album.

Oh I'm sorry, I thought based on the title of this post that you were thinking of setting up one of those big cannons, like in the circus, in New York and firing yourself across Lake Erie into Toronto. Never Mind.

Sadly, this is the only way a Canadian could have a side arm. And when you talk to them about it, the majority of Canadians do not realize that a basic right has been taken from them.

Given the above how do you explain that the intentional homicide rate in the US (at about 5,6 per 100.000 population) is almost three times higher that in countries such as Canada (abt 1,9 per 100k pop), England/Wales (1,6 per 100k pop) and Australia (abt 1,5 per 100k pop)?All Boots No Saddle said:Americans and Canadians are much more alike than they are different!

Rates for other types of crimes are much closer in the referenced countries.
There must be other factors involved. Otherwise if you are safer with more relaxed firearms regulations does it not follow that the US should have a much lower rate of intentional homicide?
We have a high crime rate in the U.S., this is true, not because we own a lot of guns, it's because we let our criminals run free. We just keep arresting them and turning them loose. It's not the guns fault, it's the lawyers and judges and the like.
