Good luck with that….

I make my living on boats..

 

[Tubby’s Canteen]

I would take that as “ I have until the end of October to move my ass out of this shithole country”

Nothing personal.

My great grandfather was Irish, he ended up causing enough trouble as a youth he was forcibly enlisted in the British army in his early teens. He was in Africa under Kitchener in a mounted infantry unit and somehow amassed enough wealth while there to come to Canada after his discharge and buy a massive piece of woodland and founded a logging camp . Unfortunately he also procreated like a rabbit and the land was devided into 17 parcels on his death. 18 kids minus 1 who got the homestead so no woodlot. My grandfather father and uncle were able to purchase 2 of my fathers uncles out and rejoin 3 parcels together totalling roughly 1000 acres. That land was handed down to me when my father passed last may.

As I type this I sit in a house on 77 acres that was a wedding gift to my grandmother from her father and marks the southern boundary of her fathers dairy farm a farm that has been in that side of the family sense the expulsion of the Acadians. (Meaning at some point in proper English fashion my people stole it from the French at gunpoint)

It’s about 10 miles from the house to the woodlot about half way there is a little church with about sixty graves in it the freshest being my fathers. I share blood with most of the people buried there. I was married in that church my father was married in that church his father was married in that church.

The wife and I are expecting our first child the end of august or first of September. All I’ve ever done for a living is forrestry work commercial fishing , boat work and farm related work.

So where exactly with a baby on the way and nothing really in the way of education save for a carpentry diploma and a years diesel apprenticeship certificate would you recommend I move to? The east coast of the u.s. is to my understanding predominantly liberal where atleast my job skills would carry over. Alaskans to my understanding are subsidized by the government for living there so moving there would be placing a financial burden on a country I’ve never before been a resident of. The west coast is so liberal you all bitch about it when you’re not making jokes.

When you find answer that might work for me to relocate my family too then try and ask yourself how a man can walk away from that much family history and if he can would he really be worth knowing at all?

Where are you getting the part about choke tubes? I’m not in favor of the law I jus don’t see that part of it anywhere.

As I understand it from a legislator that lives in the far western part of the state, the problem is the law as it is written and supposedly will be signed is very generic and simply bans any barrel with threads… no one took into consideration a hunting rifle with a removable muzzle brake… or a shotgun with screw in chokes… they simply are making barrels with exposed threads illegal…

I have not read the law in its entirety… and I’m not a lawyer… I’m just getting that from a very pissed off member of the state house…

With your family’s history on that ground. There is zero chance I would move either. And would never let a greasy politician run me off.

Elon Musk said he will pay all TSA agents during the ongoing financial situation.

Trump also threatens to send ICE agents to airports if the Democrats refuse to fund DHS.

Democrats truly are a loathsome group.

All of the shotguns I know of that take chokes (Beretta, Caeser Guerini etc.) have the threads inside the barrel.

The other piece many won’t understand is that you’re a maritimer. For you yanks that’s Nova Scotia, PEI, and New Brunswick. Maritimers don’t leave. My wife’s family are from Yarmouth and Pugwash with extended family in St John. When we moved out of the Maritimes she was the first member of her extended family that had ever left. It was a bit of a scandal and I was the scoundrel!

 

[Doug Hamilton]

Do I remember correctly that Norris lost a brother in the late stages of the Vietnam war?

Yes, I knew the brother's window slightly along with her.husband in the '80s. Chuck Norris would refer to their son as his nephew even though they weren't actually related. It made the boy feel good. The widow, her husband and their son all said that Chuck was the nicest guy. I haven't seen any of them in probably 40 years, but I'm sure that if they are still living, they are.missing Chuck Norris.

A fews years ago, I had a gentleman at church ask me for advice on his debt. He informed me that he had a mortgage, two car loans, a boat payment, 30k in CC debt and more. I started by addressing the CC debt, cut up the cards and to stop spending money on CCs. He got quite upset and said why would he do that when he was just paying the minimum payment on the CCs and it was easy to use. I informed him that people like him, that only pay the minimum payment, rack up debt and carry over the balance from month to month, pay me 2% each month to use my CCs for just paying off my bill. Furthermore I informed him not to ask for my advice again, that pretty much ended our conversation.

You cannot help anyone that does not take responsibility for their own actions.

 

[Tanks]

You cannot help anyone that does not take responsibility for their own actions.

Reminds me of my first wife. As we were divorcing she went an bought a large screen TV. I told her even though she was going to get a 7-figure settlement, her household income was going down, and why was she spending money. Her response: "I didn't spend money, I charged it">

It’s a terrible bill but that’s not accurate.

It does ban semi automatic rifles and pistols with threaded muzzles. But the thread is left out of the definition pertaining to shotguns.

It also only applies to semi-auto shotguns, rifles and handguns. So bolt guns are not impacted either.

From the bill:

4. A semi-automatic shotgun that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material that has one of the following characteristics: (i) a folding, telescoping, or collapsible stock; (ii) a thumbhole stock or pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the shotgun; (iii) the ability to accept a detachable magazine; (iv) a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 15 rounds; or (v) any characteristic of like kind as enumerated in clauses (i) through (iv);

Ah man, I meant nothing by it. My apologies. It’s just a shame to get screwed over by your home country.

I don’t have any guns they were all going lost in a tragic boating accident, you don’t have to be very smart to be a fisherman doesn’t even require a liberal arts degree and you know all us uneducated fellas in the sterns of boats are naturally dumb and clumsy.

 

[Tubby’s Canteen]

Ah man, I meant nothing by it. My apologies. It’s just a shame to get screwed over by your home country.

There is nothing for you to apologize for I was simply voicing my frustration, the default answer when talking to Americans is America is the answer without ever taking into account the actual logistics of a foreigner moving there or what it would mean to give up one’s home country. I submit that anyone who can leave his home country easily and wouldn’t stay and fight for his land and his way of life isn’t someone you’d want as a countryman anyways.

Unfortunately we are only a decade or two behind my friend. There are a few strong hold states and counties inside of liberal states. But they are going fast. Virginia being the latest to fall.

For most, debt is a noose around their neck that only tightens with time. Most cannot control their
spending and live within or below their means, the lack of discipline and easy money/ debt like credit cards (as the name implies) only accelerates this. Debt is very detrimental and crippling for most.

Yes, exactly!
Listen to ANY ten minutes of ANY Dave Ramsey program and the formula for financial security is spelled out. So easy and so simple! Yet sadly many only learn the hard way or never learn at all. They are easy to recognize later in life as they become chronic complainers, never looking in the mirror, blaming someone else one or something else for all their misfortunes.

All of the shotguns I know of that take chokes (Beretta, Caeser Guerini etc.) have the threads inside the barrel.

As explained by the legislator to me… inside or outside doesn’t matter.. if there are threads that can be accessed, it’s illegal…
