Sig Sauer P225

Our high school had a .22 range in the auditorium with individual traps that were hauled out and set up while we moved the chairs. I learned to shoot not too bad there, and it helped when I joined the army as I got crossed rifles first time out and added the crown on the second annual classification I fired before going on officer training.

Every base should have an indoor handgun range my 45s growing moss ever since I moved, and no range within 20km that I can shoot them at.  I just don't have time to lug it all the way out to the country to shoot for a few hours and come all the way back to the city.  I used to shoot out at a very well set up civvie range at my old posting.

At this point, I'm beating a dead horse, but seriously... the government has all kinds of funding for LGBTQ rights, so some 40 year old transgender guy can share the same bathroom as my daughter...  That REALLY bugs me to no end.  Plus that $10 mil for Omar Khadr.  Could make a lot of Veterans happy with $10 million.

Comparing LBGQT2 rights to having gun ranges on bases. Huh?

That'll never work.
For starters members technically aren't allowed to even use aftermarket slings on their C7s - CAF issue only.

Members would run shitty surplus ammo or hot hand-loaded ammo, first gun that blows up would shut everything down.

I remember drawing C7s, bolts and mags to do BFT work up in the reserves.

Now for security we have to separate the rifle and the bolt (because you can'y buy a bolt for $99 without a license).

There is a bigger cultural issue as well.

Canada does not like to have armed soldiers out and about.  They want them isolated on bases and specific areas.  They don't want them running around on their own with government issued weapons and government issued ammo regardless of how qualified they are.

Timneytime,

Every single one of your posts here in the past 3 days that you have been a member at army.ca has turned political, regardless of the subject.

It makes me wonder who you are and what your motives are.

I had the same feeling. Definitely a pattern.

Correlation is not causation.  I guess I've just been charged up over recent developments, and my base ideologies lay heavily with Conservative ideologies that I feel are being slighted.

Is there a problem with expressing speech freely?

I sense that discussing politics bothers you.  I, on the other hand, enjoy expressing my political views, and exercising my free speech.

Without being too judgy, I feel like your response is an attempt to squash opposition to views that you might hold, which is equally as ugly as questioning my motives.
 
TimneyTime:

I suggest you take the opportunity you now have to closely review the guidelines put in place for posting on this private site, particularly:

You will not post any information that is offensive, defamatory, inaccurate, racist, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.

Posting here is a privilege, not a right. Please remember that and post accordingly in the future.

You're peeking at your cards while you're sitting at the table. Little too eager, gave your hand away.

Gotcha. Because there is a clear link between LBTQ2 rights and Sig P225 pistols, huh?

Just go away.

Clearly I've touched a nerve.

Since the inception of message boards, other topics get brought up within the title topic, generally being considered "off topic".  I get it.

I already publicly apologized, and I'm afraid I won't be going away unless the powers that be make that decision.  I'm perfectly entitled to my opinions, and I won't be changing them any time soon.

Seeing as how expressing inflammatory opinions seems to be frowned upon here, I have already agreed to temper my comments.

Have a nice day.

I would just like to point out one thing, your right to "free speech" is not as expansive as you think. First, it only guarantees a right to speak free of state interference - not an unalienable right to say whatever you want whenever you want without challenge. Any private person can shut down your speech and they would not be infringing on your Charter Rights. As this is a private site, the site owner can set the terms for the speech expressed here, and he has.

Your options are to follow the guidelines (complying with the terms of the owner), or after a potentially long and winding road/short bumpy one, your speech will be silenced. 
 
The guy is new here. Some coaching by PM would probably be more effective.

Yup. From the same crowd of crybabies that cry about airshows or bitch about heavy police presence then cry about lack of police when their bike is stolen.

People who reside in the vicinity of the CNE may not all be Airshow enthusiasts.

I never heard of a Metro taxpayer who didn't want more police patrols, and emergency stations built, in their neighbourhood.

They are more likely to complain about resources being deployed into other neighbourhoods.

I can move my reply to the Emergency Services forum, or CNE Airshow discussion. This discussion went off-topic back around Reply #40.
