GOB, I'm still trying to picture a gun club with 5000 members. Wow, the county I was born and raised in didn't have anymore people than that back then. Sure gives LE along lists of suspects.

Adam, feel free to educate me. You are the one who called my opinion into question. I in no way shape or form portrayed that I was speaking for all of Canada. If you would take the time to actually read my post it would be apparent that I was speaking from my own experience as is everyone else commenting in this thread. I am not sure how I became a representative for ALL of Canada. I am certain this particular issue is not one that is faced at every gun range in America and jumping all over me for sharing my personal experience seems rather heavy handed.

scalerman,

In your 10-17-11 post you stated you were surprised anyone would take "an unattended gun from a bench at a gun club." Tut-tut, you Canucks would never do such a thing, eh, wot? On 10-23-11 you posted the same sort of superior attitude.

I do not suggest you speak for all of Canada, just be honest and accept the fact there are folks who will steal unattended guns, especially in view of your gun control laws. Your jab about "not being as smart as neighbours to the south" seemed to express an unjustified superiority attitude. Will you enquire of your Constabulary IF ANY guns were stolen this year, or last, from ANY gun club in Canada? If so, then put "proper ediquette" aside and protect your guns at the club, eh, wot?
Adam

Adam, when you asked me if NO guns had EVER been stolen at ANY gun range in Canada it certainly sounded like you were asking me to represent all of Canada. You do seem to be one that has a bee in your bonnet about the theft of firearms from Canadian gun ranges I suggest that go ahead and slake your curiosity by contacting the RCMP yourself. I have merely been expressing my opinion on here whereas you seem to feel that my position is an impossible one. I have mothing to prove to you.

food for thought. I often am at my gun range by myself. I like weekday mornings when most folks are working.

You need a gate code to get in and out, but theft could still happen.

8X56MS,

About the GATE, at my former club, with a gate, some folks NEVER closed and locked it! Gates are fine, BUT be sure to impose penalties on morons who FAIL to abide by the CLOSING RULE!

Adam
