I'm really curious about the enforcement mechanism there; is it like
firearms in some US states, with a mandatory background check?

Not sure about that, but it's definitely illegal in Canada to carry a
concealed snowmobile on your person.

I saw a bar in Ontario where you had to check your hockey stick at the
door.

Mandatory or voluntary?

Can't pin it down, exactly. Just don't like the place. Maybe it has
something to do with all the sales people following you around and
wanting to attach a little green sticker to your stuff.

I much prefer that to REI where you have to search for help from a
pimply faced kid that has no clue about what he's selling you but he
does have quite an opinion. At Kirkhams, I make them earn their
commission.

I think you can as long as there is no oil in the crank.

Mandatory, like checkin' yer shootin' irons at the saloon, pardner.

Hockey sticks don't high-stick, people do.

Hmmmm.. that ain't mandatory everywhere.. Take Oootah fer
instance. It's easier to take a gun in than it is to get a
drink. Think about that.

No shooting drunkards and no drunken shooters. We have designated
shooters instead of designated drivers.

our guns and we like our liqker, and our big trucks, usually all in the
same night.

You callin' *us* commoneests? You gosh darn easterners can't even take
yer gun into the bar....

From Tennessee code. (you know, whoever decide how to spell tennessess
needs to debounce their keyboard)

"It is an offense for a person to possess a firearm within the confines
of a building open to the public where liquor, wine or other alcoholic
beverage, as defined in 57-3-101(a)(1)(A),. or beer as defined in
57-6-102(1) , are served for on premises consumption. "

Pansies. At least in Utah you can pack into the bar... and
church.. and school.. and.. damn near anywhere.

Oh Piffle. That's just one of those "on the books" laws like not
herding pigs on Mainstreet on Sundays or income tax or drinking age.
Those laws are just for the out of towners.

Maybe you're allowed to "pack heat" in Utah beer joints, 'cause that
stuff ain't really beer (sorry Pigo
