Calibre

@MattASpeller @RudiGunn67 The police had no interest in arresting the guy who stole a car, ran from them through downtown Kelowna, stole my trailer, and tried to run me over. I'm not worried.

@RudiGunn67 @Calibremag He's a public figure with crazy ideological zealots who hate his guts and want to see him suffer. Paying the legal costs for some petty criminal so they can charge him with assault & force him to give up his guns seems at least plausible enough to me to stfu.

Yesterday, I was woken up by my neighbour calling at 6 am to say that the $26K air compressor I'd rented to do this job had been stolen off the back of my truck. I canvassed my neighbourhood for camera footage, and found their egress route from my neighbourhood. I used social media to discover that the vehicle used had been stolen earlier that night from an Uber Eats driver in a nearby area, and contacted him to confirm it was the same car. I spoke to various equipment rental people to see if there were any popular areas for things like this to appear. By 8 pm, I'd taken my compressor back, located the stolen car, confronted the thief and impressed upon him the importance of staying away from my neighbourhood, and all it cost me is a left hand that's swollen a bit today, and some minor cuts on my arms. You can just do things.

@TheHousecarl Both air cooled soooooo

From $5 chainsaws straight to $500,000 911s...

@StuartRudolph1 It's a fun project... Princess Auto sells new fuel line for $5, but you'll want to order a replacement filter and carb rebuild kit from Amazon, probably.

@Calibremag I have that same saw & plan to eventually give it a restoration; it was an inheritance from an uncle. It's definitely an XL12 as I was just in my garden shed & gave it a peek as I recalled your post.

A new lease on life for another old Canadian power saw. Now to process some pallet planks, make a nice box for it, and put it up for adoption!

@kennethdavid @SoapBoxGuns He might be thinking about his bona fides for a potential CPC leadership run...

If ontario falls, ottawa has no leg to stand on. I am 100% sure the pressure from the feds to not follow the western provinces on Ford is immense. Ford may be ready to do the right thing anyway, it's time for him to think about his legacy- his expiry date is long over in this game.

I mean... it's something. But Why doesn't Ford do anything to actually help? Just a little over a year ago he said "I'd rather keep guns out of our communities" (talking about lawful gun owners in the context of self/home defence). Sounds like he's only in our corner when it's convenient. It's great that he, for the time being, appears to support lawful gun owners, but why does he expect gun owners to do this alone? "don't ever give em away" when he has no skin in the game and isn't lifting a finger to help feels a lot more like hanging us out to dry. That's not enough when the feds plan to criminalize almost a million innocent Canadians in 5 months time. Ford's gotta step up. Lipservice ain't gonna cut it this late in the game imo. He's gotta run interference. Introduce and pass some legislation similar to what SK and AB have been doing. Make a stand. Anything else is just empty words.

@JT_Fisherman Oh, me too. Ontario seeking intervenor status at the Supreme Court and DoFo saying we shouldn't give up our guns is great and all, but he has way more potent tools at his disposal.

@Calibremag I just wish it meant something.

Damn, bro. Randomly going back to the mic on an unrelated question to also say, "gun owners, protect your guns. Simple as that. Don’t ever give them away," while standing like three feet from one of the Liberal cabinet's gun ban champions? You gotta love it.

@JT_Fisherman I'll take whatever opposition we can get.

@Calibremag Fat Trudeau cos playing as a Conservative again???

Any "first-time offender" linked to three shootings related to multiple extortion efforts is either: 1) Not actually a first-time offender, just someone who hasn't been caught before, or 2) A sociopath with no respect for human life or our laws. Jail, or deport when possible.

@MattASpeller I'll be honest, I barely use them, and when I do it's mostly for clearing trails; really obvious widowmakers or timber that's called across a trail. I mostly just like bringing old saws back into service, because I also love two strokes!

@Calibremag Love motorcycles and powersports and everything old and 2 stroke, except old chainsaws. I do not fuck with em, they scare the piss outta me. All power to you if you enjoy them though!

@cranium243 @TyBarrett27 @alandrummond2 Are you illiterate?

@Calibremag @TyBarrett27 @alandrummond2 It's not a good look for a magazine to be stealing copyrighted material without crediting the author.

Could somebody, anybody, show me the analysis that more guns in communities make Canadians safer?

@kennethdavid Liberal gun policy wasn't, isn't, and never will be about public safety.

@Calibremag They want to limit claims and be able to talk about # of firearms? We can't have people driving policy who think like this. Either this is about public safety or it's not.

Fun fact: After Public Safety announced the cap on the number of parts businesses would be compensated for, they told businesses with large inventories of parts that the only way to get compensated for them was to assemble them into complete guns.

@TheHardhead13 And use to inflate their numbers of firearms seized.

@Calibremag Which they will then seize, and destroy. A Kafkaesque nightmare.

@cranium243 @TyBarrett27 @alandrummond2 You can't even be bothered to google something, but I'm the lazy one?

@Calibremag @TyBarrett27 @alandrummond2 Or you could stop being so fucking lazy and post a link.

@cranium243 @TyBarrett27 @alandrummond2 "AnOtHeR uNsOuRcEd ScReEnShOt" It's Stats Canada. It's always Stats Canada. And anyone with even a passing knowledge of this stuff would recognize the format as being from their incident-based crime statistics tables. But you obviously don't, because you're an ignorant moron.

@Calibremag @TyBarrett27 @alandrummond2 Another unsourced screenshot? You just don't give up, do you?

@KEriksenV2 No, it was dead easy.

Did you have difficulties when trying to verify your identity in order to vote in the B.C. Conservative Leadership Race?
