Fear of running out of this?
Two American progressives read this article:
AmProg #1: Sigh... if only it could be like that all over this country.
AmProg #2: Patience. Give it time.
How do you mount a scope on a No1 MkIII?

“Translation: They were those dummy, hollow training grenades you can buy at most flea markets and novelty stores.”
They were probably Assault Grenades.
Got one years ago courtesy of a tip from our esteemed FRiend Lurker. It’s a Catco, but they don;t seem to be around now. Here’s the only one I could find on short notice today:

My Catco mount is rock solid.
If it’s rendered safe, it’s not a grenade. It’s a paperweight.
Yup! ;)
“There was a safe there, I don’t know why it wasn’t locked,” Fossum said. “There’s no excuse for that.”
So they are saying that the guns were improperly stored and the safe should have been locked while people were in the home.
So you must have your guns unloaded and locked up while you are home.
How can you clean your guns if you have them locked in a safe at all times? How can you have a gun for the protection of your person and your home if your guns are unloaded and locked in a safe at all time?
These laws are stupid and illogical.
We need some Canadian outlook on this.
Ping some friends.
Maybe you’re supposed to go get the cleaning kit (assuming it’s ok to leave that outside the safe), and put it on the table or bench. Then go unlock the safe long enough to get out the one gun you need and immediately relock the safe, quick as a bunny, so the gunnishness demons don’t escape. Then when you’re done cleaning that one, you can go back and check that one in and check out ONE other, and so on till done. If you have an “arsenal” (more than one gun) in your “compound”, this could take a while. [facepalm]
They were right; his house was broken into, and his guns stolen... by the police.
I guess we have to acknowledge that this is a legitimate fear, since the home WAS broken into and the guns WERE stolen by a gang of criminals (the RCMP).
Just getting around to reading this, sorry about that.
The first thing that struck me was the name of the town where it happened. Secondly, the accused’s name isn’t mentioned. Might have something to do with the name of the town, if you know what I mean. The Mounties have to tread lightly due to politically correct pressure from above.
As for the charges, I agree with post 53,
“I guess we have to acknowledge that this is a legitimate fear, since the home WAS broken into and the guns WERE stolen by a gang of criminals (the RCMP).”
Don't be silly. There's no such thing as "assault scopes."
These scopes obviously had illegal crosshairs in them like the kind used by SNIPERS!
