I recently visited Calgary from Michigan. As a police officer for 20 years, it feels strange not to carry my off-duty hand-gun. Many would say I have no need to carry one in Canada.
Yet the police cannot protect everyone all the time. A man should be al-lowed to protect himself if the need arises. The need arose in a theatre in Aurora, Colo., as well as a college campus in Canada.
Recently, while out for a walk in Nose Hill Park, in broad daylight on a paved trail, two young men approached my wife and me. The men stepped in front of us, then said in a very aggressive tone: "Been to the Stampede yet?"
Herald columnist Naomi Lakritz: Officer's comments reflect cultural divide between Canada, U.S. (http://www.calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/nosehillgentlemen+Kalamazoo+police+officer+letter/7054368/story.html)
We ignored them. The two moved closer, repeating: "Hey, you been to the Stampede yet?"
I quickly moved between these two and my wife, replying, "Gentle-men, I have no need to talk with you, goodbye." They looked bewildered, and we then walked past them.
I speculate they did not have good intentions when they approached in such an aggressive, disrespectful and menacing manner. I thank the Lord Jesus Christ they did not pull a weapon of some sort, but rather concluded it was in their best interest to leave us alone.
Would we not expect a uniformed officer to pull his or her weapon to intercede in a life-or-death encounter to protect self, or another? Why then should the expectation be lower for a citizen of Canada or a visitor? Wait, I know - it's because in Canada, only the criminals and the police carry handguns.

And the replies to the story...

Quote
[...]Wawra said he and his wife were confronted in broad daylight on a paved trail by two men who asked "in a very aggressive tone" if the couple had "been to the Stampede yet?" "They approached in such an aggressive, disrespectful and menacing manner," he wrote, that the off-duty cop instinctively reached for where his sidearm would have been had he been south of the border.
"I quickly moved between these two and my wife, replying, 'Gentlemen, I have no need to talk with you, goodbye,'" he said. "I thank the Lord Jesus Christ they did not pull a weapon of some sort."

[...]

Subsequent to the furor, a tourism official said the two young men who encountered Wawra were simply giving out free passes to the Calgary Stampede rodeo.

Americans should be allowed to carry their personal weapons in other countries.

:lol:

Either this is fake or hillarious.  Americans can be pretty stupid, so I suppose it's within the bounds of what is possible.

Been to the Stampede yet? Sounds like a ghey comeon to me.

This has got to be fake.  Nobody can be that stupid.

It's real, it was the talk of the town last week, the letter he wrote was published in the Calgary Herald and generated a lot of comments about guns and the American culture of fear.

Sounds perfectly plausible.  Unfortunately.

Btw, I'd probably be concerned to if some strangers trying to hawk shit didn't walk away after they were pointedly ignored.

Sounds too much like what a smug Canadian would invent to make fun of Americans.

Stand Your Ground law should have been applied.

I'm not claiming that shooting strangers on the street should be the default choice in unsolicited encounters, but surely people who try to approach strangers on the street to sell them something should be just a little cognizant about projecting a threatening image.

So...is the discussion is moving in the direction that the American should have been able to defend himself and gun laws should be liberalized?

Clearly it is time to annex Canada so we can bring our enlightened gun laws to the ignorant masses.

There is just no chance an American would spell theater that way.

Seems like a pretty long way to go for a hoax to find a real Michigan cop and write a letter on his behalf. As for theatre maybe he's embraced the light of proper spelling (or tim could be right too :P ).

My Lord Jesus Christ is also off.  That's Southern Baptist talk, not Michigan mainline Protestant or Catholic.

The spelling incongruities could also be caused be the letter being an actual written letter which was transcribed. So handgun becomes hand-gun (although I'm pretty sure we write handgun here, but never gave it much thought) and theater becomes theatre just by virtue of habit by the person transcribing.

As for the Harold saying it's not a hoax, from their point of view if they get a letter (or email) then to them it's not a hoax, they actually got something. Journalists are tricky that way :P .

From the star article. could just be that the hoaxers, if indeed it was hoaxers, picked a name from a phone book at random and the guy they picked happened to be a veteran with 20 years in the police force.

The only evidence I see so far that the letter writer is a Michigan cop, or that a guy living in Kalamazoo named Wawra is a cop, is the letter itself.

Anyone feel like making it interesting?

Here's another thing to consider: do you think a copper with 20 years on the force is going to shit himself when two white kids talk to him in a park?

Didn't remember that the letter itself mention he was a cop  (read about it on thursday from the star). I'm guessing that the star tried to find him and there's indeed a Walt Wawra from Kalamazoo whose a cop. Or the star didn't do any research at all, but i find that hard to believe because the Toronto star is a reputable paper.

As for why a cop with 20 years' experience would shit himself? Maybe he's a gun nutter like phillip and just feels uncomfortable without his gun :P

His letter is in the OP.

I'm guessing that the Star looked up a phone number for a Walt Wawra in Kalamazoo, called the number, and left a message.  If they had contacted the Kalamazoo PD to confirm that Walt Wawra works there, I gotta think they would have mentioned that.

But hey, there's a good chance that officer Wawra of Kalamazoo, Michi. is the dumbest fuck on the planet.  I think you should take the bet.

and it looks like the CBC got into contact with him (or someone did as he comments about the letter)

QuoteHe said despite all the negative attention his letter has received — including at least one threatening phone call to his home — he doesn't regret writing it.

"What concerned me is two young men just approached us and stopped us, stopping us by being in our path, and [began] talking to us without even being welcome to talk to us. They just took it upon themselves to yell at us."

He said he should have the right to protect himself if things had escalated

HuffPo link is not working for me.

Walt Wawra, a U.S. police officer, who encountered online ridicule after writing a letter lamenting not having his gun during a visit to Calgary, plans to write a second letter.

This time it is to clarify the incident, he says.

"I like truth — I don't like conjecture," he told the Calgary Herald.

"If I bear some kind of responsibility for any kind of misinformation or misunderstanding, that is something I would like to clear up."


Wawra's letter sparked a Twitter frenzy, with many Canadians taking the opportunity to ridicule U.S. gun laws.

A tweet referenced a Calgary restaurant that placed a sign that read, "Have you been to the Stampede yet? Just kidding. Don't shoot me."

The Calgary Stampede got in on the fun and tweeted, "We also want to know if you've been to the Stampede yet? If not, a reminder that next year's dates are July 5-14."

It turns out this isn't the first time Wawra has expressed his opinion via letters to the editor.

Last year, when President Obama invited rapper Common to the White House, right after Public Safety Officer Eric Zapata in Kalamazoo, Mich., died in the line of duty, Wawra wrote to the Kalamazoo Gazette, saying that the invitation was a disservice to the country, as the rapper celebrated the death of cops.

However, some have argued that while Wawra's approach may not be the best, his argument has merit.

National Post's article titled, "How not to make the case for concealed-carry of handguns," suggested that until society finds a way to eliminate mass shootings, Wawra's argument is understandable.

Wawra's letter, and the ensuing media storm, continues to fuel a debate on gun control and highlights cultural differences between Canada and U.S.

Plenty of cops of 20 years never make it past patrolman.  There are reasons for that.

Laramie cops are better than this!  One of the locals left his gun in the bathroom of a bar.  He was definitely not afraid of rodeo boys.

So, let me get this straight.

this guy is being harrassed a bit by a street vendor, and he wants to pull a gun?

Either he is really touchy, or from a very small town :D

Hope he doesn't travel to Europe.. I remember the gypsies in Rome as intimidating, not so much the hawkers for shows and restarants.. he would have them down in droves if he had a gun :D :D

YOu know, I get it actually.

If he's been a cop, carrying a sidearm for 20 years, and has a concealed carry permit and carries a sidearm while off-duty as well, I bet he feels "unsafe" without it.  It's all about subjective perception.

Either way, he makes the case for restricting conceal&carry.  Had he had his gun, he would have shot these people feeling threatened.
And he's become way too dependant on his gun to insure his protection.

I would have reacted the same way. I grew up in a crime ridden city and the almost instinctual paranoia that comes from that has come in handy a few times. I also do not know what the stampede is. Now, I would not have sent a letter to some newspaper about it.

Regarding what he wrote, does it say anywhere he would have pulled out his gun?

Once you let people carry handguns, they don't think twice about using them.

Maybe, but better to be alive than a dead good samaritan. I am extremely cautious if I stop to help someone. Example, I will only stop on the highway if I see someone obviously in trouble (accident, stuck in muddy grass after losing control a rainy day, fire, etc...).

See, from a Canadian perspective his reaction appears ludicrously over-the-top - to the point of parody. Hence, my initial reaction that it must be fake.

I find patting the holster tends to convey the message better than drawing the weapon. Yeah, you punks hanging around the entrance of Dollar General, I'm watching you.

I suppose it livens up a tedious trip to the shops  :hmm:

How did you feel in Normandy? Did you miss the gun or did the safer environment make you feel more chilled?

My wife has been threatened, so the gun is necessary. And in buildings were no guns are wanted, Mr. Slapjack comes along for the ride. Except in Federal, state and school buildings. Any weapon there will get you assraped by the nearest cop.


I felt completely safe both in Normandy and Paris. Then again, I was away from crazy Americans.... mostly.  :)

Makes sense to me. I've no doubt that I would arm myself if I lived in certain parts of the States.

That dog's so dumb, he thinks the Canadian Border pays rent.



Yeah, I've OD'ing on Foghorn Leghorn lately.

Actually I'm thinking we should take a Languish trip up to Canada (for giggles all pack in on a greyhound). With Canadians not locking their doors and all, I'm sure we could liberate a lot of native treasures.

Ugh, grayhound.

"There ain't but 3 kinds of people ride the greyhound.  You got your drifters, your alcoholics...and your alcoholic drifters."

Having ridden the greyhound a couple of times, I can vouch for the above.

I've always imagined they would smell.  Just seems like a smelly sort of place in there.

Because a) the 21st century is the same as the 19th century and b) those raids featured Seedy and MBM.

Besides, we wouldn't want to capture anything. We'd be on a goodwill tour of pillage and plunder.

And when you do your guns will be taken away from you and you will panic.  An American without a gun is, I am told by an American who apparently knows about these things, a spineless wimp who is easily scared.

You talk tough now because you have ready access to a gun and so you feel empowered.  Once you cross over the border into the sane zone of our Continent all such bluster will immidiately fade and even marti would be able to bully you.

You need to go to Chicago for that.

Here in Vancouver it will be tropical in comparison.

And CC will be zombie chow :(

No way man.  All those American Zombies are going to be too stupid to realize it is warm in Vancouver.

Besides, they will have a natural aversion to going somewhere with gun control laws.

CC, I love ya, man, but the recent anti-american schtick is growing a bit tired. :console:

Tired shticks are like good deep-dish pizzas or bad Triple Stacker burgers:  there are no such things.

Well we have Martim and Marty to do that anti-American thing.

Only if you had Marti with you.

I doubt he's capable of tackling anyone. He didn't seem the type when we met.

Mine, too. :) And not a gun to be seen in my house, either.

Maybe I'm a Canadian in disguise.  :ph34r:
