On Handguns, Guns, Canada, Cruising Mexico (Split Post)

I taught my kids too but had to wait till they could hold down a six pack of beer before we went shooting.

Grimo, you call that a knife? Hey how did crocodile dundee get away with that big ohh thing he called a knife? And how do you cut up those shrimp you throw on the barbie for us Americans? and mad Max he sported some
heavy gauge tool too. You telling me those guys arent real? My whole Image of Australia has now been blown. Is there really Kangaroos?
Having some fun with are great friends in Australia, hope you dont mind.......

Dont get me wrong, just because its illegal doesnt mean people dont do it Aarrh unfortunately they are nothing but good old movies made for the American market.... i cant believe the popularity of mad max over there. There is actually a guy over here that goes around buying every ford coupe he can get his hands on, throws on a fibreglass body kit and exports them to the US as mad max replicas after naming his price!! maybe we should do a swap, ford coupes for reasonably priced macgregors??

Is it this guy ??http://www.aussiecoupes.com/xm-xp.html

No i was thinking of this one: http://www.aussiexport.com/main.htm

But the one you supplied is even worse then what i thought existed!!! i cant believe they are taking our toranas, valiants and monaros!!! They are a valuable pieces of motoring history here in Aus with not many good examples left. Dam your stong US$

The best response that I have see so far was posted by an Australian in a different forum -

PS..You don't really need a gun once you leave the USA...Exchange it for a good home brew kit. DF

...hold on there ole feller...it seems now-a-days travelling in the good ole USA requires carrying a "piece"...or "heat"...or as I call it my Browning 9mm, full clip and empty chamber, holstered with an extra clip.
I was assisting a fellow MacX family at the launch ramp recently, and handing over their stuff from the dock...I accidentally saw his "piece", "heat",...or as he calls it a holstered stainless 380 semi automatic. We then discussed guns for a while, instead of boats
Amazing how many of us folks have a license to carry, and actually do carry a firearm.
The problem is that there are so many criminals carrying weapons, and not those of us that are law abiding. Sad but true, and in the USA. SIGH.

Throwing stars, spiked wristbands, blow guns.

Bummer, thats what I always use on my boats. Self protection, Ninja Style.. Hahah.

On a more serious note, one day we where driving through my home town. Small place in NC. We where going through one of the not so nice sections. And I will be darned if I didn't see someone walking down the streat holding an AK. It was at like 3 in the afternoon. He was just strolling allong, with it in his arms. We where within the city limits 2.

I have a 37 mm flare gun.

[waternwaves]

hard to conceal an AK anyway............

and I bet no street thugs bothered him......lol though he probably already was one.........

However.......If I see a young person with an AK walzing down the street in a tough neighborhood, I am taking cover and calling the mounties....

and putting at least 200 yds distance between.....

wow, the likelyhood of seeing someone loading a boat, with a holstered handgun here is impossible to even imagine. it just doesn't and won't happen. so, not to worry, worst thing that will happen to you boating, is some guy on the dock at the marina will offer you a canadian beer, be careful, we put booze in it up here!

If he's canadian he may apologise for it having real booze in it!

I have a 37 mm flare gun.

...flare gun shooting at night in my pasture is great fun on days such as New Year, 4th of July, or any time the grandkids bring their fireworks over ...
...and Im amazed that the liberals allow "flare guns" anymore...theyre so aweful lookin', they load like a pistol, and are so noisey and fearsome lookin'....j u s t k i d d i n g...

The device may not be illegal but the the .38 rounds are if you do not tell customs about them. You could loose your boat if not disclosed. I do like the blanks and the pepper rounds.
