They don't sell Viagra in Norway?

Which is why we should never go anywhere near the blighters home!

You'd look like a big tin of sardines to him.

I'm not gun-happy, but if an animal was attacking someone (and likely to kill them) and I had a gun, I would shoot the animal - unless the victim was a former boss and the animal was an endangered Sumatran tiger or elephant. I shot a few snakes in the garden when I was a kid, after a snake killed my dog.

Yep.
Quote: DaButt @ August 6 2011, 12:35 PM BSTLet's not forget that the bear was killed while was in the process of killing a bunch of kids. I'm an animal lover but I'm quite sure that killing the bear was better than letting all those kids die.
There's too many kids on this planet. We won't miss a few - but we do miss one Polar Bear.

What's the difference? You're carrying a dangerous weapon. I wouldn't like to be on a plane knowing a potential looney is carrying a gun.

I went off polar bears after they appeared in Coca Cola ads a few years ago. Likewise, orangutans have been appearing in a few TV Australian commercials for a bank and phone company, and I find that repugnant. If companies are going to make endangered animals look cute in commercials, the ads ought to be alerting people to boycott companies contributing to habitat destruction.

Carrying a loaded handgun in your pocket is much different than transporting an unloaded handgun/rifle/shotgun in the trunk of your car or the baggage compartment of an airplane.

As the link I posted said, firearms transported on an aircraft are unloaded, stored in a locked container and kept in the baggage compartment of the aircraft. They are not allowed in the passenger compartment for obvious reasons.
Who was it who famously killed a polar bear to show his bravery to his men? Was it Nelson? He probably shot it but it showed how brave he was to get within yards of it on the ice. No can't be Nelson, surely. Some naval commander did.
If I were a naval commander I'd use an attack submarine to take on a polar bear:

I love the lack of red tape you have over there. It's great to see for a change. I've seen longer regulations at my local library for borrowing a book!
To be fair, the actual law is probably many pages long. The Texas statute governing the state's concealed carry law is about 70 pages long.

Wow, fantastic photo.
I'm glad I don't live in the f**king wonderful US of A.
