a Wasilla man suffered a gunshot wound to his hand at a campsite near Willow and was flown to Anchorage for treatment ... Officers said Minsch was one of eight people gathered around a campfire when a shotgun was fired accidentally."Accidently", they said. Uh-huh.

A grizzly bear mauled the former fire chief for the city of Nome during a weekend hunting trip, leaving the 54-year-old in critical condition [Monday] in a Seattle hospital.Forget-That-Freedom-Stuff-This-is-Canada Dept:
First Fred Rodolf lost his handguns. Now he may have lost his tour boat and his livelihood. The longtime Valdez tour captain and his wife headed north from their winter home in Washington this month and almost immediately got into trouble: Rodolf, 72, was busted by Canadian authorities for having handguns aboard his boat, the Lu-Lu Belle. After Rodolf posted $2,000 bail, they continued their journey north, reports The Peninsula Daily News of Port Angeles, Wash.
But things got worse: They ran the Lu-Lu Belle aground in Prince William Sound on Saturday and had to be rescued by the Coast Guard.

I'd like to take a load of them, drop them off in Memphis, unarmed, and see how far they get with that smug, holier-than-thou attitude and see how far they get.
And some say the U.S. should emulate Canada.
I don't think so.
I'm missing my left ring finger, as a result of an encounter with a .45 that went off, shall we say, "inadvertently." I once referred to that as an "accident" and was corrected, gently but firmly, by a gentleman who pointed out that the weapon had not malfunctioned, the user had. It was a "negligent discharge," not an accident.
Couldn't argue with that. There was no one around but me, no one's finger on the trigger but mine, and the gun has never done anything on its own without my help . . .
