I really want a hand gun for picking berries. Stupid long gun I put it down and start picking next thing you know Im a KM away from it and have to spend a half hour walking back and looking for it. Time that I could have spent filling my bucket. And I doubt the grizzly will oblige when I ask him nicely to wait 1/2 an hour until go back and look for my long gun. At least I don't have to say registered long gun any more. Danny Clifton should move to Quebec where they created there own long gun registry. He will feel much safer knowing that all the French gangsters have guns registered with the Provincial government.

Dispatch would also be good to have a hand gun for. I could hang it on my handle bars like Yukonman Charlie Wright.

Handguns are just far to dangerous muskrat. You might accidently shoot and kill an endangered sub species of blackberry. Grizzlys are not dangerous toward humans. There was a guy in AK that lived and communed with them for quite some time before he died of natural causes. Its a myth that a hangun is handy when you need it and out of the way when you dont.

Gun Free Zones are very dangerous places.
If people were armed there, the danger would be placed on the bad guys.
