I'm kinda concerned about your choice of optics.  Never heard of that particular manufacturer, and the price seems quite low.  Personally I would want to see one first and handle it myself before buying one.  My hunches are telling me that the optical lense quality can't be very good, reticle...

If these conditions are not met, the Independent Panel urges the government to notify Afghan and allied governments that Canada intends to transfer responsibility for security in Kandahar. Transfer responsibilty to whom?  I don't see any other NATO countries chomping at the bit to take over...

Good post Colin P!  I especially like your opinion on CCW, if you want to carry concealed then do so, if not then you don't have to.  Best to have the carrying option availiable though, even if you don't feel like carrying concealed today, your situation may change drastically tomorrow! 

There's quite a bit of power in that device for sure!  The terrorists placed their device improperly, and that's all that saved the vehicle crew.  I found it somewhat disturbing that the terrorists were able to take what must have been a considerable amount of time to place that device under the...

Actually firearms licensing and the registry are separate.  Firearms licensing ensures that a person wishing to legally purchase a firearm meets government mandated firearms safe handling standards, and also ensures through personal references and a police backgound check that the applicant is...

Well said Fry!  You were right on the money.....  criminals will do whatever they like regardless of what the law says.  I f the government bans firearms ownership, it will only affect law abiding citizens.  Criminals or anyone intent on causing harm to others will always find a way to get their...

I bought another gun, my M1 Garand rifle arrived yesterday  8)  I spent all night stripping it down and cleaning the crap out of it.  I think it was made in 54 but I'm not sure.  Bought some 8 round clips and a few boxes of 30-06 and am looking forward to getting some range time soon.  As a...

I can understand why the SPAS 12 and Streetsweeper shotguns were prohibited, after all they're black, look really evil, weigh about 10lbs at least, and you can't hide one under a ski jacket on your way into a bank.  If you wanted to spend a few grand on the Mercedes Benz of shotguns why should...

Interesting article, but hardly surprising given how paranoid people in authority can be over there.  He got screwed over twice by the authorities too, jail time in the worst ones possible, and probably had to fund his defence out of his own pocket.  Even though he wasn't convicted, he sure was...

I checked out Bruce's webpage, he definitely make some good points about licensing and registration. Registration of firearms is a bad idea,  as it creates a list of what law abiding citizens own.  Someone can use the list to confiscate firearms at a later date, and it also presents a fine...

Good job Inch!  I agree with your stance on having the right to self-defence, and the right to Carry if you wish.  Also good of you to bring up the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the portion of the firearms act that deals with inspections.  That portion of the act gives inspectors broad...

I started reading the posts on this topic with great interest a few days ago, and it's an interesting topic. Last summer I got my PAL, and own my own rifles and pistols now.  I shoot as often as I can and have a great time.  I have invited many non-PAL owners along too, and they also have a...

Ok thanks for the info.  I tried rucking with a camelback on, but quickly did what you did and put it on my rucksack.  It's good to hear that your chain of command doesn't have you under the microscope for personal kit, hopefully it stays that way and you can use what works best for you.  I...

Wow!!!  Your load carrying solution is quite ingenious, must have put lots of thought into it..  Being able to haul more ammo, and have that ammo more accessible is a big improvement over the issue vest.  Having the camelback in the center of your back without those shoulder straps must be nice...

I got lots of info on the gun club today.  Next week I should be able to get some long range action fired up. I am also starting to review for my restricted PAL test too.  All kinds of good things to look forward to.  :)

What the heck is the Chalk River Militaia  ???  I am picturing guys in redcoats & white webbing tramping through the bush with brown bess muskets ;D I

Thanks for the info Paracowboy!  I checked the PSP webpage and found the info under clubs.  It does seem kind of odd though that in addition to paying club dues, i also need a CAC card.  Anyways I am one step closer now so thanks again for the tip.

I'll drop him a line, and lsee if i can get the list of base clubs tomorrow.  Thanks for the info.

This is my first post on Army.ca, so here goes.  I recently purchased my first firearm, it's a Remington 700 Police .308 bolt action rifle.  I am looking forward to trying it out, but haven't been very successful at finding ranges to shoot on.  I heard that there is a rifle club here on base...
