Re: Firearms - yes or no

[QUOTE][i]Highlander once whispered in the wind: I got a chuckle a few years back when I read in an forum much like this of one person who felt he would bring a gun aboard only when he was sailing in areas of a higher threat - like some of the areas in Canada. Living here, with a crime rate so low that in comparison to where this gent was it was almost non-existant, I had to laugh. Not at his solution becuase he obviously was serious, but because at the time I would have been carrying in wht I considered the high threat area of the eastern seaboard of the US. That area he felt was a low threat!

Doesn't much relate to the thread, but might be enjoyed:

Reminds me of somebody who recommended that your car should always be locked before being left alone in towns of the Canadian and American midwest. Not from fear of theft or damage, but because it might contain a load of zuccinis when you return. Everybody grows too many.
