While Covid19 suggests we should stay home more, what are you doing?
I thought I would go back to work on some gunstocks I've been sloooowly doing.
Here's a thumbhole nutmeg laminate I've been working on.

Still going to work here in Texas. They seem to be waiting before locking us down.  :pokeeye:

Nice stock!  :bradsthumb:

I made a list and bought some steel to work on the Javelin, fuel cell mounts, rack mounts, front end structure. Funny at the supply store I ran into a couple of circle track guys I know doing the same thing just in case we get locked down.

Don't your rifles need to be secured in a gun safe ?

Nope. Should they, maybe. Lots of variables.

No, They do not need to be in a safe. They are required to be locked. A safe is one method, but not the only method.  That whole room is locked when I'm not there.
And the restricted firearms have trigger locks as well as being locked in that room.

I was just asking because I don't know what the actual laws are here in Ontario. I don't personally know anybody that owns guns, especially that many of them, and I was just curious. Thanks for that answer. :drinkingbud:

Y"all need to move here. I keep most of my guns locked in a safe for safe storage not because it is a law but in case of a break in ( which I never had). Any other ones I have are on me-ALL the Time--in case of Brake ins--LOL  Hell back in the 60's-70's every pick up truck had a gun rack with one or two rifles or shotguns on it.  That was before the country went crazy and lost all moral values. In the last 4 months I personally have taken 3 friends that were non gun owners to the range and in one outing turned them into gun owners and they thanked me for it. One guy who always asked me why I needed so many guns and said you only need one. Well he bought his 1st gun the week I took him and his 17 year old daughter to the range. A week later he bought his second..and that was all in 3 weeks and thanks me everyday for taking him out. Now with all that is going on in the country the ones that didn't take me up on my offer are wishing they did. Gun shops are closing down because they are out of guns and ammo. The Federal Background check center shut down because it was swamped with checks and couldn't keep up with demand. Crazy times.

Still working. Work remote from home after lock down. Too much work as a matter of fact. I got lucky that AT&T finished up the fiber optic service installation last week, otherwise my internet speed will be problematic. So work is my pass time during the week. I wonder when cabin fever might kick in.

:unitedstates: :unitedstates: :unitedstates:God bless America, I've always been a gun owner with more than 50. more than 10 assult rifles, long guns, shot guns and a multitude of pistols from 22 caliber to 50 ae. and 10's of thousands of rounds.  If things get ugly, I have plenty to keep my family safe and arm all my neighbors to cover each ours back. :worship: :worship:

Well Done Sir--Most of my neighbors are also well stocked--lots of ex military here in the Charleston area. Hopefully it won't come to it but if it does we will band together and help each other out.--

I suspect more people than you realize are "well stocked". Ever since the failed long gun registry  They just keep it low key and don't talk about it much as most everyone I know didn't comply. As well as security issues, don't need to let the wrong people know what house to break into. I've found car guys usually are also into firearms.  :alan2cents:

I'm one of those 'different' Canadians I guess? I have no problem letting people know I have a lot of guns. About 100. I believe it makes people less inclined to want to break into my house.
