What is your favorite firearm? (Page 6): I had all my firearms in my canoe when it capsized. My memory fails me as to whether I was on a pond, a lake, a river or the bay when it...

I had all my firearms in my canoe when it capsized. My memory fails me as to whether I was on a pond, a lake, a river or the bay when it happened. I guess I won't be able to surrender them when the democrats come to confiscate our firearms. Safety note: Alcohol does not mix with driving, boating or firearms!

Which is what's wrong with this country, this division that causes hatred because of a person's beliefs...this is the difference, I don't hate you because you are seriously ignorant and delusional.

I hate no one!
I sure as hell hate the beliefs that some people stand for (the bad) or don't stand for (the good).
I sure as hell hate the actions of some people.
I sure as hell hate the democrat/liberal platform which encompasses the last two mentioned!

Unbelievable. The exact same thing happened to me. All I have left are a couple pellet guns.

The buyer of a machine gun needs a special license and if I’m not mistaken I think it cost about $15,000

Thanks to George H.W. Bush, available full automatic firearms are limited to those manufactured pre-1986. The market is small. $15K probably will not get you into the bidding. Start at $20K plus, and that is for something that is less desirable.

Now that I think of it, I capsized my kayak the same way. It took a half hour feeling in the mud to find my car keys. Never did find my guns.

I found a dogwood branch and made an assault slingshot and then got some PVC pipe and am going to make a double barrel potato gun! I can't decide on an over-under or a side by side!

An Eskimo roll saved you anyway. I have half of my roll perfected. It's called a wet exit!

I used to do that, but you need a bomb proof roll and I wasn't that good. I also used to roll a kayak that wasn't made for that. That's when my car keys went into the mud on a lake. Rolling in a river is much harder. A few times I couldn't get upright and I'm watching the river bottom varying as I'm flying down the river upside down. Again I wasn't very good. Sometimes I'd get right up, other times I couldn't roll to save my life.

I had a wet suit, but not the proper head covering. I wanted to brag that I had rolled the kayak in January on my local river. I actually got up okay, but the top of my skull ached with the worst brain freeze in my life. The brag was not worth the pain.

Always wear a helmet! especially in whitewater....The River will eat you!

My swimming improved with the whitewater boat, but not as much with my sea kayak.

Once I got over 50 doing the river kayaking went away, but I couldn't bring myself to get rid of the river kayak. It was my first expensive boat, but I wasn't using it. I put on weight and could barely get in and out of it because of the tight cockpit. I acquired lake kayaks with larger cockpits and also a canoe. Those are what I use now.

Finally a co-worker of mine who was a boy scout leader talked me into donating it to his boy scouts, but emotionally it was tough to part with that boat. I was never going to lose the 40 lbs I gained in 40 years. I hope the boy scouts used it well.

Of course not. Your hatred is because you despise anything remotely right leaning, and even more so if it is in any way related to Trump. At least, that is what 3+ years of reading your posts sure indicates.

RB,
There are like 7 people on OPP that shouldn't even be given the time of day. WG is one of the "Succubus Seven." When you see his posts, just pass on by. They can't understand normal thinking.
