Happy Corner

[greenmark]

Finally got my Canadian restricted gun licence this morning.

Off to pick this up tomorrow. Don’t panic, it’s the civilian version, so only semi-auto and not full auto.

As used by the IDF.

Well happy.

Obtaining a gun is not a happy thing for me. We've crossed swords on this before and I know your opinion and you know mine.
Just use it wisely, chief.
A racoon is not necessarily a member of Hamas or Hezbollah.

Yes, we have. But as you know, put any firearm on a table, leave it, nothing will happen, it won’t suddenly jump in the air and fire. Only becomes dangerous when somebody picks it up, if they don’t know what their doing and/or have ill intent etc.

Restricted firearms in Canada can only be used at an approved ranges plus you need secure storage to get them to and from the ranges. You cant use this for hunting, target shooting or plinking on your own land regardless of 1 acre or 1,000 acres.

And no, you can’t have one in the UK. These type of centrefire semi-autos were banned in 1987 due to some numpty, which some will remember.

Sure. Let it lie there. How I wish a weapon was always picked up by a good guy.

A weapon can be anything, doesn’t have to be a firearm, knife, brick, baseball bat, car, lorry, fists. All still legal in all countries. But I get your point.

If you want a depiction of a good guy picking up a weapon then lookup Christian Craighead. Don’t think many would have done what he did, armed or not.

One for greenmark. Yes it’s still alive and no I didn’t shoot it.

Ta. Can't beat a bit wildlife and in the case of racoons I believe wild is very apt. Scariest thing round here are dogs owned by morons (from all strata of society it seems) that can't be arsed to train or socialise their dogs.

Oh sorry. Happy corner. When I meet a happy friendly dog it enhances my day. Next door have a lovely black labrador so I shouldn't complain.

Contempt of court is a non violent offence, I suggest he will be out after 6 months given the state of the prison system.

Wonder why he came back from his safe haven in Cyprus.

His main Russian backer was sanctioned and assets seized. I presume Tommy ran out of monies.

Turns out the Judge told Tommy he would get a reduced sentence if he took down a video on his website. Tommy said “No” and therefore got 18 months. Normally after 7 months he would be paroled with good behaviour but it looks like he will be freed in < 5 months, with good behaviour.

True.

Mummy bear had 6 new cubs. That’s not normal for this time of year in Canada. Apparently it’s due to delayed implantation. I can imagine but not sure I fully understand etc.

Anyhow, mum has now got 10 to look after, she must be exhausted. Bless her.

Quite honestly round here birdlife has vanished. It's really, really weird.
I've gone from a dawn chorus (Oh why don't they shut the f*** up) to .....pigeons. Coo. coo flipping coo. Nowt else. It is truly bizarre in my lifetime.

Are they black bears or grizzlys there?

Grizzly’s.

I put out large bowls of venison, berries and fish for mum. She will need feeding up for her cubs and winter coming. Obviously, it’s nature and she should provide, while she probably ways over 200 kg, 10 cubs is allot to look after on her own.

If I could, then would give her a big hug but obviously that wouldn’t end well for myself.

Gotta love nature though.

[greenmark]

You are either a saint or complete nutter. My (idiot) advice would be, consider how being a food source appears to her.

Switched everything off yesterday, including the fridge, and I'm on tract for 16 hours of free electricity.
