Off Topic / Canadian Questions
« on: July 29, 2009, 10:04:08 PM »
Being new to the site I can't help but wonder how it is for my Joe-loving brothers up in Canada.
The first question may seem like an odd one. What time of year (and how long of a season do you have) to paint outdoors? And where do you get your paint from? The reason I ask is because I work for Sherwin-Williams, and I'm mostly curious. Even though several of our paints can be applied all the way down to 35 degrees Farenheit, it still takes em like 24 hours to dry at that temperature...and it better not get any colder than 35 until they dry!
Second, I can't help but be curious about gun laws in Canada. How restrictive is the legislation? How easy is it to buy one? How many hoops do you have to jump through to go hunting?
Of course, Texas is one of the most liberal states as far as gun control laws, and fortunately they are trying to make them more liberal all the time. If someone's breaking into your house and stealing your stuff or threatening you or your family, you can cap 'em. Also, it's now legal to keep one in your car here, as it's considered part of the "Castle Doctrine." Previously there were some places you couldn't take your gun even if you had a concealed carry license (mostly government buildings) but I think either that's no longer the case or it will be changed soon.
Last but not least, any of you have any cool guns? I don't...yet. I want to get a Springfield XD in .45, an AR-15, and some kind of shotgun before all is said and done with me...
