Default Defining Freedom July 1, 2019

Here is what I did today. Shooting while consuming single use plastics. What a world we live in.

Depending on the outcome of the election this fall, you may not be able to enjoy Canada Day, in the same way, in the near future.

We have the exact same type of plan.

Default Freedom Lost

With a near Communist/Socialist Gov't off and on since the 60's eroding our morals/rights along with idiotic immigration policies we will soon reach the tipping point like England,France and Germany..With Trudeau towing the UN mandate of disarming the civilian population of all member nations the writing is on the wall for all but ostriches. When they tell you you don't need guns..........you will soon need your guns.

To bad most Canadians have forgotten that guns are what made us free. The UN plan of making peiole believe that guns are the root of all evil is working.

Oh tah and Happy Canada Day everyone.

Where did you shoot skeet so early in the morning? Most skeet fields don't open that early. Fort McMurray is one of the few ranges in Alberta with no regulated hours, other than the Wildlife Act restrictions. I am headed out to shoot sporting clays, but the county has imposed hours on the range, so as not to disturb the neighbors too early.

Ours opens at sunrise and there is a lot of private land in this province.

There likely aren't many private skeet fields in Alberta either, due to the cost of building one, and buying machines. Tossing clays by hand or with a portable thrower yes, but shooting a round of skeet requires a marked out field, and two machines.

All the stuff we played with today, and we took a couple vids when we were almost done.
Still it was an excellent day out celebrating Dominion Day.

Those were the days. I used to shoot at magpies right across the kitchen table and out the door - with Mom's blessing.

Better enjoy those single-use containers while you can! JT says we're not allowed to use em. Unless they're plastic forks and you are part of the Liberal Party machine and he orders in pizza for ya. LOL
