My research uncovered that criminals are not by law obligated to register firearms. What ya' say? Yep. It's against the 5th ammendment that they don't have to self-incriminate themselves by having to registed a gun that they legally can't possess. Go figure. I have to register my guns, but a felon doesn't.

The old mantras (guns do not kill people; people kill people) and (if guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns) hold true. Most legislation is done to satisfy some small group in order to gain a few votes and does not address the real issues surrounding gun violence. Recently we had a known gang leader's vehicle searched. This search was conducted with a search warrant. 'The police were searching for banned substances and evidence which would connect the gang leader to a multiple homicide. During the search a cache of illegal fire arms was discovered in a secret compartment. The individual was charged accordingly and the courts set him free stating the search warrant did not specify the authorities were looking for illegal weapons.

I lived in N.J. then. If I wanted to take my handgun to Vermont, having to go through N.Y. I would have to stop at the Stale Police Barracks at the N.Y. State line and have a State Trooper take the handgun to the Vermont State line to get it back.That was a three hour drive on the Through-way. Are you kidding. I just held my breath going and coming through N.Y. that I did not get stopped. I did that for 16 years. We had to do that when we shot competition in N.Y. many years ago.

One factor is that we do not harvest the bears in the same numbers as were done in previous decades. Now we still have commercial fishing which competes for the bears food source. Especially in an area like the Kenai Peninsula. Decreased food source, increased numbers of bears and more frequent contact with humans a recipe for trouble. If you are attacked by a bear the potential for serious injury or death is extremely high; I am not denying this. Carrying a fire arm will not guarantee your safety, check out the number of hunters that have been killed by bears. Another fact is that most bear attacks occur in or near campsites. Improper camping methods, ie. leaving food out, condition animals to associate food with humans. It always seems that we are our own worst enemy. As far as bears being scared off by gun fire. How many bears have been scared off by simply a loud shout? I have fished in areas where there are large populations of bears. I do remain extremely aware that I may encounter a bear and take every precaution to ensure I will not surprise one. I have yet to carry a firearm. BC's oldest fly-fishing club fishes on the Dean river for Steelhead every year in late July, August and early September. Over the past thirty or so years there has only been one instance that I know of where they had to kill a bear, it was a black bear that had become conditioned to camps and food. Neville will most likely have more accurate details about the clubs history of fishing on the Dean. In Canada it is illegal to carry a pistol. You need special permits and training to be able to purchase one and can only use them for target practice at and shooting competitions at a regulated shooting range . Also the regulations about fire arm transportation is very strict, which makes extremely difficult to carry a fire arm of any description except for hunting. My point is there are many serious hazards in life that we face every day, whether at home ,work or on the river and do not give them a second thought. Regards Mel - Original
