Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

[2025 deleted member]

as are multi clip assult rifles.....

For someone to reference a long gun in such a manner proves they know nothing about them.

I'm in for a M134 if you know a good source. Then again it'd be more expensive than a major coke habit to feed.

Need? No.
Want? Nope. I tend to be a minimalist. Taking something that almost certainly won't be used has no appeal.

Come take a look at my AR. Handiest thing ever, I clipp on a strap so I dont have to carry the rifle in my back pocket. Its frontgrip clipps on & off as desired too.
Fwiw,
Along with too many people having guns, too many people get hung up on vernacular names on parts there of.

Pulling this back again into the informative and educational. The round goes into the clip and the full clip gets pushed down into the magazine. On the old rifle types. Advancements came and the "ping" you're empty clips were replaced with magazines that did both. Fitting magazines to rifles sounded stupid so, like many English words, it was shortened to Mag.
English changes yearly, it is an evolving language as it tries to adapt to new things, or better lexicon. One Mouse two Mice, One Moose, two (Meese didn't work) Mooses was correct for years and has now been replaced with just Moose. Sounds better.

A shot. In the metric world what the hell is a shot? Canada uses shot because we adopted it from our neighours. In Russia is is 50 or 100 grams. Why a shot? As the story goes the price of whiskey in the old gunslinger days was the same as the cost of a bullet. One could trade a bullet out of the belt for a belt of whiskey, or a shot. Now I am not saying this is a FACT UNDISPUTED BY GOD HIMSELF. But it is the way I heard it. As a storyteller I am constantly looking up grammar and language changes and I find this evolution of language interesting. "I had a terrific time." "Really? What was so terrifying about the time you had?" Or my personal favourite; UFC!! "...Undisputed Championship Fight..." Ah if the fact is undisputed why the heck did I just pay 2000 dollars for a floor seat to watch this fight?

Normally I let autocorrect Americanize my spelling. I didn't this time to highlight that we spell our favorite neighbors differently. We kept the U's adapted from the French spelling.

We have drastically different gun laws in our two countries, stemming from drastically different historical realities. Those historical realities shaped our cultural identities. Our Federal laws dictate all the provinces behavior. No state to state differences. Our Federal Law was actually adapted in a large part from the Laws in California, yeah we stole it. Handgun barrel length restrictions, capacity of magazines et al. Some were grandfathered, like me, if you had them you got to keep them and they issued a special license 12/6 12/4 and on it went. But during that time there was a ton of rhetoric that our first female Prime Minister Kim Campbell would come for our guns. So I understand the passion and the emotion.

Wait a minute, Is that supposed to be "cartridge" ? What is also known as "patron", Just happens to be a type of Mexican drink whats served in shots. Mexico btw has huge number of firearm homicide despite strong restriction on guns...
Speaking of Russian shots. Despite being taught "Russia is a blackhole of evil and thats all you need to know about it".
I think they are pretty smart folks and odd at least to me they would serve a shot by weight, not volume ??

Russian people are and have been very nice to their adopted Canadian. As I type and look out on the Black Sea enjoying my two dollar beer I could post a picture but the swimsuits well...I would get banned and I love you all too much. But Wow!! Yeah I thought it was odd not to use volume as well. "STO Grams Bodka" is how it sounds, I am not going to type in Russian and get ExpedPortal on a list! LOL! They also use the English word degrees to denote percentage of alcohol or proof. I believe it is because English is a very sloppy language, same word several different meanings. Russian is very precise and the grammar is Correct or Not Correct no exceptions like English. The masculine and feminine adds a level that confuses me and I have lived here off and on for four years.
Cheers for the "blackhole of evil" :drool:

And yes The cartridge goes into the clip the clip gets pushed down...the firing pin strikes the primer and the primer explodes, causing the powder to BURN. The expanding gases push the bullet (just ordered the bourbon version to toast your sense of humor) out of the casing and the round travels down the barrel.

It makes sense to stay on target (pun intended) to the OPs post. The question was whether you feel the need to carry while camping. I assume this means camping in a designated campground, or off in a wilderness area, or in an expedition vehicle occupying either.

If we are to assume that by saying "carry" the OP implies a handgun, this becomes a theoretical exercise for our neighbors to the north and south. Any attempts by Canadians or Mexicans to justify why they do/don't think they need to carry feels disingenuous since even if they wanted to they couldn't for all practical purposes.

I guess if we stayed with the purely theoretical discussion, then CAN and MEX can play, but only theoretically....

For my part, one of the very reasons I do not visit Mexico anymore, which is in North America apparently (sarcasm related to another thread), is partly due to the fact that only the police and military are allowed to have guns for the most part, and that has manifested a dynamic with the populace I don't enjoy.

I know a lot more than you think.....ARs. Yes, again, owned by most are just a gun for shooting targets. but for some...the targets are humans. Ok for the people caught up MASSIVELY on semantics...MAGAZINES.....you can swap magazines in an AR very quickly and do a lot of damage....and so you cannot run into a store, etc with an AR, do a lot of damage before the police get there? You can't do that? no? really? well tell those people that were the night club in Orlando, or the countless others that have been killed by AR's. I am not against Any gun....just the amount and speed you can access this stuff. As I said, I can walk into a store in florida fill out a bit of paperwork, and a couple hrs later walk out with enough gear to do some REAL damage.

What do you think an AR is?
