Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474

It was my first centre fire rifle. It was sporterized, and came from the Hudson Bay Store in Edmonton. I was 12 or 13. (Birthday/Christmas gift - My birthday is Dec. 25) Lots of them in Canada and they were very popular for decades. Sadly, most were sporterized and only a few were left in military configuration. Took a few deer with that rifle, while hunting with my Father.

I thought I recognized you!

In testimony I have given, under oath, I was allowed to refer to my notes, dated/time and initialed (Aide de Memoir) made at the time of the incident I was testifying to, as long as I could swear they were made at the time stated. I carried, and still do, a Policeman's page numbered note book, just in case. I was not a Police Officer. I was a Municipal Purchasing Agent, but I was aware of the time lag between an event and the time it took to reach a court and the manner in which confusion could be sown concerning what happened that long ago.

You kids. I just turned 81. Can you imagine how much I've shrunk? And the weight I've gained?

Nickle: You're not alone in being caught in the aftermath of Justin's temper tantrum, BUT there may be options for you and other Canadians who want to shoot CAS but were caught by the banning of the sale and registration of handguns in Canada. You can still loan handguns from one RPAL holder to another by going through the CFO. They can walk you through the process, if you are patient. If you already have revolvers, some Canadian posses, including mine, are allowing the use of double actions, as long as they are shot single action. All other SASS criteria still apply. Hopefully, we will get the OICs withdrawn after October of this year or sooner if we can force an election. Welcome to the fun!

AHH! The Studebaker Lark. I remember the fun we had in my City, when as an economy move, they bought them for Police use! "After all, you have radios and can set up road blocks!" Worked fine using them to deliver summons and issuing parking tickets, but then a gang hit town and a few banks with cars with a little more oomph than the Lark and ran them silly around town and escaped. A certain senior officer who joined the chase had a Reising in his Lark never got near them. When he got back to the station, it is alleged, he emptied the mag into the grease pit, in full view of the mechanics who were eating their lunch. Shortly after, new tenders for high performance dedicated Police use cruisers, was called. Seems the citizens of Ottawa were not too happy and the Mayor at the time was able to finally understand.

On the other hand, some who are getting to a certain age, still care, very deeply, and no longer care that their "Unacceptable views, held by a fringe minority"* hurt feelings.

Last time I used one was moose hunting. We used to keep old, damaged ones in the boats. When you were on a watch and it started to sleet or rain, opening one and ducking behind it, out of whatever the wind was driving, it kept you a little more comfortable. A STERNO can made it almost cozy. Almost.
