Oh. You should really write that on the back.

Yeah, this is a recent change. I liked the old way better. The problem is if you just want to show PART of a clip from youtube theres no longer any way to do that - it just posts the whole thing.

Oh it went down too. :) I was looking at the outage maps and notice it was in the affected areas. Which is rare, I had only one or two power outages in about 10 years there. Never got to use my prep stuff much. But now that I'm out in the sticks a break anywhere on the line for about 50 clicks...

Sorry - I've been dealing with power outages and windstorm damages all day, it's been a nightmare. Greater Vancouver and the valley have been getting the snot kicked out of it, one kid killed by falling trees and literally hundreds of good sized power outages (including my personal place) and...

Well - there's some special problems with that. :) Even if the feds were for it (which the current batch isn't), many of the provinces are not. The first trudeau actually did try to include property rights in the Charter, and the provinces shut him down. And because it's a constitutional...

You're right on the constitutionality issue of property, so let's set that aside as to the 100 percent thing - as I've mentioned the intent is NEVER to reduce things to 100 percent. The intent of any of these kinds of laws is (supposed to be) to take those actions reasonable and prudent to...

Well we largely glossed over the whole 'licensing' discussion earlier and focused on whether or not safety training and background checks were reasonable and prudent in the first place. I'm not a fan of simple posession being a crime. I'm also not a fan of safe storage violations being a crime...

Well you would - but that actually is remarkably easy-peasy. It's something that happens all the time. It might shock you. Well thats true. Mind you the vast majority of people would show up 'allowed' and you could improve those odds radically with just a little observation. - unless of course...

No variations. About the same thing, perhaps worded differently. It handles it exactly the same as yours. And no it's not really different than the current licensing system, it just guarnatees that if you've bought a gun you own it for life without anything expiring, it firms up 'shall issue' a...

This is something that happens right now with regular driver's license pictures. The pictures don't really look the same as people do in real life and right now people use other people's driver's licenses with rather shocking regularity. You don't have to look anything even remotely close to...

Yes, there is a difference. Once 'approved' currently, you can't be disapproved without the revocation of your license for cause. Not 'delay because someone complained' yesterday. It's a big difference. I don't need to fake the database, i just need to fake being that person. Which is pretty...

You're killing me :) I'll go back and look at the edits in a bit, ignore anything in my reply that may no longer be relevant based on your edits.

No, there are currently criteria for refusing a license that must be followed and there are laws around the whole concept of licensing anything that are part of our legal system. They can't deny you just because you 'might' be up to anything. Switch it to a Cpic based system and you open the...

So a woman who's emotionally tramatizerd and has no legal or firearms training can pick up a gun on the way home with the intent of getting into a gun fight with someone else... And that's an advantage? :) That's probably pretty safe - hope she doesn't live in an apartment with too many...

The buyer, if caught with a gun, will still have to produce a license. It creates a second layer of protection - sure you might get a gun, you might even steal a gun today and bypass the whole process. But the moment you're asked to show you have a license to possess that gun, it all falls...
