• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

.....and I carry.

Each country has its laws and constitutions. I like ours here in Canada, but respect those in other countries! That is just the way it is!:thumbup::thumbup:
 
I don't feel like I have to carry with all you folks out there ready to protect me! Sometimes I feel like, if I showed up at a Spyder rally, I would be the only one NOT carrying, well unless you consider that flask in my hip pocket! ;)
 
How many Non Leos here have ever used a weapon to stop a crime, or hold a criminal, until a Leo could intervene?

Not taking a side. Just asking a question.

Jer:

Depends on the definitions.

I came out of a Wal Mart to find a guy sitting on my Spyder RT. His wife was standing beside him telling him to get off. I could see he was high on something so I put down my packages and zippered open my jacket.

Politely, I told him to get off the Spyder and pulled my jacket back to reveal my weapon.

He wasn't attempting to steal my Spyder and I'm not sure what he was doing counts as an illegal act. (Trespassing, maybe?).

His wife screamed, 'he's got a gun, Wayne!.

Whereupon Wayne tried to jump off but caught his foot on the passenger handle, failing on his face in the parking lot. Wayne and wife then raced out of the lot with wife trying to stem the blood flow with kleenex.

Now, I really didn't use the weapon, I just revealed it. Given this did not appear to be any kind of life-threatening situation, I doubt I would have unholstered it.

No LEO was involved although a spectator said she was ready to make a call if things got out of hand.
 
:lecturef_smilie: Don't waste time bringing a weapon to the dance, if you're not prepared to take it to the final step... :shocked:
You will hesitate when the :cus: hits the fan, and your opponent may not! :yikes:
Simple combat training: Aim for the center of mass, and don't stop pulling the trigger until the other party has ceased to be a potential for danger.
 
Board agitators

Very nice video message. I carry also. No Offense, but can this site be devoted to loving Can Am Spyders. I like seeing message about the Spyders we all own and what we can do to improve our ride along with adding new fracklers....

:agree: this board is about Spyders, and with the history of threads about guns (and other things) turning ugly. Makes me wonder why people continue to agitate this board with threads like this.
 
Folks can be civil. There's usually only a hand full of minorities who don't like a conversation and instead of ignoring cry foul.

That said, this is by far the most civil forum I've ever been on. It's why I'm still here, even though I no longer own a Spyder. It's fun to lurk and have conversations with good people. :)

Folks can (and should) be civil, but in the four years I have been reading this board. I have yet to see a thread on the rights to carry stay civil. I hope this thread proves me wrong.

:roflblack: stop being a 2014 hold out :joke:
 
I like big guns

this area of the board is -OFF TOPIC conversations. NO need to be spyder related. good people here and will stay civil or lamonster will step in and wave his wand . he's kool guy! --- finished
cleaning my guns , must off fired some bad ammo because my 9mil was really dirty...bummer!
 
I believe strongly in being prepared.

I believe in having a gun or four at hand.

I believe in helping whoever I can to be safe.

Even the ignorant who think we don't need guns.

With that said, I hope that I live in a great neighborhood.

I hope I never see anyone being threatened.

I hope no one has the nerve to try to take my life.

God forbid I see someone trying to take someone Else's life!

Am down with all the stats. Just asked a simple question. ;)

The media doesn't want you to hear how often this happens, but it happens more than you would think. My husband and I both have conceal carry permits (as do both of my parents). I have one beside my bed and one in my truck (and many others for fun :D). I have no problem with defending myself or my family if needed. I have made that decision ahead of time. It is a personal choice, one you have to think about very hard before you even strap on the gun. We have a philosophy. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

All I aked was a simple question?

Have never revealed whether I carry or not, and never will. But, that's just me.

And the answer...

Thanks! :thumbup:

Nobody ever said to expect that EVERY topic you see would be one or interest, or one that your opinion would hold the majority in...
Diversity of opinions and interests is what makes things interesting; don't you think? ;)
As long as folks stay cool about respecting the rights of others; all is good! :2thumbs:

Carry what? :roflblack: seriously though, It fits well within the keep them guessing mantra and not everything should be about what we do or don't like. I don't smoke and can't stand to be around it either. That said, I voted against banning smoking in restaurants and bars, when it was on the AZ ballot years ago. Taking away rights, leads to taking away more rights. Anyone want to talk about the recent bans on e-cigarettes?

It's not okay to demonize an object or group to fulfill an agenda, regardless of what it may be or if "I" like or don't like it. I've lived in other countries under two oppressive regimes already, so I prefer to err on the side of liberty.
