" Shall not be infringed "

That's their plan. It's safe, and they've gained power through the long game, anyway. They're arrogant to believe that they'll hold on to political power forever. The problem with that belief is that a properly stored gun can last a whole lot longer than their dreams. Thirty or so years ago a friend told me of a guy he knew who was in the woods somewhere along the shores of Tustumena Lake on the Kenai Peninsula some time in the 1970's. He saw something in a tree and fetched it down. It was a pair of old Russian flintlock rifles smeared up with bear grease and wrapped up in a bear hide. They'd been there a long, long time. The guy who put them there probably wasn't hiding them from government gun confiscators, but that idea can work. They can't take something they can't find.

Being Liberals, they're all about ideas. But also being Liberals, they tend to be so wildly incompetent that they have zero clue on how to execute those ideas. At the moment this leaves us in limbo. After requesting tenders for various aspects of a confiscation in the last four years, they haven't even found somebody to design a program to accomplish said confiscation. So we wait. And hopefully the Conservatives, who have and enormous lead in polls, win a majority and reverse the legislation as they've said they would. An election is due by October 2025 at the latest. It really is an outdoorsman's paradise. Moose, elk, black bear, mule deer, and white tail are all literally in my yard.

Yup. This has been going on, back and forth, since the beginning, starting with slavery. I suspect it will continue until major revolution/civil war and a new government, which I'm pretty confident will not be an overall improvement. I'll note that even in nations seen as oppressive hunting rifles are commonly owned, both scoped and not.

Actually, the U.S. Constitution is primarily the foundation of rules for the federal government, and each state was required to create their own constitution (ratified by Congress and SCOTUS) prior to statehood acceptance. Every state has a "Second Amendment", but some were poor comparisons to the U.S. Constitution. For example, here is the California: Compare that to Article 1, Section 19 of Alaska's Constitution: All 50 states have a similar article/section. Some are great, some suck...........just like the state itself. Frankly, if the people of California want to live communist drones, more power to them. I enjoy watching the place burn, both in the cities and the wilds, by forest or social mismanagement. Let them suffer the consequences of their stupidity; repeatedly. I don't want to visit Sudan, Vietnam, Thailand, Brazil, et al, so I don't go there. I don't want to visit California, either, but because I have family there, sometimes I have to go. I was raised there, but had the wisdom to get out young. I return on occasion at my peril. When in Rome, do like the Romans do. If you don't like what Romans do, don't go there. Spend your money in more favorable locales. Let California go the way of Sudan, Vietnam, Thailand, Brazil, etc.

Yeah we are not Canada and no one should have to ask permission to the state to carry a firearm . Constitutional carry should not stop at some state borders . It should be through the entire 50 states . It's bull crap some communists states think they can limit the 2nd . What would happen if a few decided only one religion will be practiced in our state . First Amendment: Freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition Second Amendment: Right to bear arms Third Amendment: Restricts housing soldiers in private homes Fourth Amendment: Protects against unreasonable search and seizure Fifth Amendment: Protects against self-testimony, double jeopardy, self-incrimination, and due process Sixth Amendment: Right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury, to be informed of the charges, to confront witnesses, to compel testimony, and to legal representation Seventh Amendment: Right to a jury trial in federal courts for civil cases where the claim exceeds a certain dollar value Eighth Amendment: Prohibits excessive bail, excessive fines, and cruel and unusual punishments Ninth Amendment: States that listing specific rights in the Constitution does not mean that people do not have other rights that have not been spelled out Tenth Amendment: States that the Federal Government only has those powers delegated in the Constitution

I've never had a jam in my Glock or Keltec, including when shooting cheap box store ball ammo, or surplus bulk ammo, or at the range. I have jammed a round on load in my Remington 700! Took multiple minutes to unjam. Part of the problem is you get quite a bit of leverage with the bolt and slam it home when gentle pressure is all you really need. Entirely my fault. I carry a multi piece cleaning rod, patches and oil. that started when I carried a muzzle loader the first time and filthy black powder fouled the barrel. It fired but the next round was way off. So now I swab it out before reloading. And just left the gear in my pack. Haven't even used it in the modern stuff, except at the end of the trip or if the gear gets damp.

As I understand it, as I no longer have the necessary permits, Canadians can only have handguns if they hold an RPAL (Restricted Possession Acquisition License). Holders of these permits must undergo a criminal records check every 24-hours, and can only transport their weapons from their home to a certified shooting range, and back. They must do this without any stops along the way. This means that even stopping for gas is not permitted while your handgun is in your vehicle. It must be transported in an approved, locked case, and ammunition must be transported separate from the weapon in a manner that prevents them from easily being put together (ammo in the glove box, handgun in the trunk). If you are stopped by the cops for any reason, the fact that you have an RPAL will come up on the police computer and you will be asked if you have it with you. If you break ANY of the regulations regarding transporting your firearm, you CAN have it confiscated. This is what I've learned from talking to RPAL owners. As I don't have this permit, I'm not entirely 110% positive on any of this, but since quite a few handgun owners have given me the same information, I can be fairly positive that these are the laws.

Had my best friend and his son report back on a trip they just took. Got flown into Chamberlain basin airstrip. And then back packed out to the lookout at Arctic point. It’s a 72 foot lookout all galvanized overlooking the Salmon River. They saw Elk, some monster Whitetail bucks, heard Wolves one night and caught some nice 20” Trout. It froze on them one night, but over all was pretty hot and dry. Said the trail had only been partially cut out, and the Ranger station at Chamberlain no longer used mules (that’s progress for you I guess). The flew in and out on a Cessna 206. Cant wait to see the pictures!

My choice even though I haven't bought one yet would be a mini 14 for just about every thing for a long gun and a Glock 29 on my belt or chest depending on holster
