I'm calling BS on this one, unless the test was similar to this

Dude I just don't have the imagination to make this sh... stuff up man!!

It was classic!

You sure it wasn't the qualifying round for the Russian Roulette World Championships?

I'm having flashbacks to Ray Charles in The Blues Brothers.

We have been FACed and PALed up the ying yang for the past 20 odd years with a blizzard of bureaucratic red tape and paper work and yet TO and other major urban centers are have problems with an increase in handgun deaths. Stats Can just released numbers today indicating the overall crime rate is continuing it's long running downward trend. You really have to wonder if more of the same old same old is even part of the answer now.

Hunting license is different and I still have to do that one, but one step at a time. PAL is a pretty painless experience but you don't save much time/money by not having your options open with a rPAL.My buddy who already had passed his PAL exam decided to take the rPAL portion of the course and the exam with me.

I agree. What'll help prevent gun crime are 2 things:

1) Stop the illegal imports from the US and China
2) Create enough jobs that a decent life is guaranteed for most people on 8-8-8 including owning their home and retiring without eating cat food.

BAN AMERICAN HOCKEY PLAYERS!!

My view is pretty simple:

As it seems to me, there's too many people who see a gun more as an extension of their penis rather than a serious and grave means to defend themselves in an extreme situation.

"I got a gun and if anyone comes at me, I'll whip it out and shove it up their ass!!" seems a common sentiment. Accidents happen when scared people get guns.
