Careful, they'll come after your short handled shovel's.
Heard a rumor that Canada is mentioned as a future USA State.
I hope not because I have lots of shovels of all kinds and other landscape/garden tools.
I've never met a Cannuck that I liked and I also suspect that Will Rogers never met a Cannuck. (Will said he never met a man he did not like)
I love how his "shovel" has a serial number and appears to be ported as well.
Canda is the wet dream of the left here in the USA
they ate closing in on total bans like Australia
Thank god the forefathers had the wisdom and seen first hand tionery of being controled .
to make the admentents which Canada does not have to help the gun owners
And sadly we have to fight every day to keep
I fished for 40 years in Canada and have many good friends there. My mother was born there and I always liked her too.
Have not been able to sleep at night since this Topic appeared. You know the Canucks can be pushy at times and especially so if they should become the 51st state.
Does this mean i will have to give up my shovel collection? Will the Government come with a no knock warrant or will there be a buy back shovel program? Should I take my favorite little pointed shovel (antique) to Kents Store, Virginia and bury it before Canada becomes the 51st state?
My next door neighbor is Chinese and the family has a Chinese restaurant down in the Village. He grows veggies in his back yard and uses them in the restaurant. He had this skunk that refused to go in the Haveaheart trap and one early morning in his PJ's he caught that skunk in the garden and beat him to death with his shovel. Yes sir, great fertilizer and buried him right in the garden. Weapon of choice and great for burying skunks. Now he knows a skunk is really a two tone pussycat with a dual exhaust!
Why would they take away a weapon used to defend your property, family and garden? Heck, I even used one in Kents Store a few years back to dispatch a big old Copperhead. —————————-Ray
quite the arsenal Ray, that may get you life in prison up over the border……..
I am partial to the fiberglass models
You can never have too many shovels. I have the fiberglass model down in Kents Store. Lifetime warranty, will never break and also very Lethal/Deadly.
Please don't snitch on me. Did you know NY State has a snitch law? Just call Supt. of NYSP in Albany Criminal Justice and collect your reward. ——————Ray
Two in middle might be exempt, antique?
The scoops and spade may not fall into the shovel guide lines.
One with sharp point would be classed as an assault shovel.
By the way the scoop on left makes and excellent snow sleigh.
I am sure number 5 from the left (Antique) would qualify as a over 50yr C&R. 😊—————-Ray
The one on the left & 2 on the right are Hi Capacity shovels.
I have never found a shovel that fit my hand.
Growing up on a farm I hated shovels and what they represented…………extreme manual labor !! Post hole digger too 🤬

I did round up several snow shovels out of the sheads yesterday due to the weather Forcast of snow .
I did read Canadas pretty boy may resign today but odds are another clone will jump right in
I do feel for them but like some of our own states, that hate personal ownership of a firearm
It will never stop
Two buddies and I spent the summer in the wilderness of British Columbia, Canada in 1973. We pulled up to Customs at the border, it was Saskatchwan. The uniformed Canada Customs official said "You boys got any firearms?"
I said "Yes a couple rifles and a .38"
We opened the trunk, he looked at the British Enfield, the Thompson Center Hawken, and the revolver. The officer closed the trunk and said "Enjoy your vacation boys."
I don't think that encounter would go so well today.
I have one of those fold up military type.
Ok, I’m lost here or something, are we talking that they really band shovels, or are we using the word shovel as a metaphor?
I mean, how can you band shovels and not pick axes, or say and axes it self then?
Remember what I said once: mom and dad never did sit around on the porch and show me off to the neighbors as there brightest child.
We had a couple guys that were in Canada. They would buy "lots" of firearms on auction, send them to us….then they would do the customs paperwork on the things that they could have. We would then sell the remainder of the items for them. I slowly grew to be too busy to deal with the process, but it was interesting to hear what all they have to go through. Not only are they VERY limited in what they can own…..they have to plot out the route they are going to drive if they take anything to a range or to be repaired. Its like they think firearms are like live snakes or such up there.

Your mom and dad had good common sense.
Well said walter. My wife and I do not brag on our children either like lots of people do now days. Seems every time we start to get really proud of them something runs amuck, so we just keep our mouths shut.
I've also noticed that it eventually caves in on the ones that brag about how good/smart their's are.
I've noticed that it's Just a matter of time for amuck to happen to anyone and more noticeable when it's a bragger.
When you read about this stuff the only word that comes to mind is unhinged

I can dig it…
When shovels are banned, can rakes be far behind?
a rake is just a high capacity shovel it has a dozen or so shap points over the shovels one
Oh, the humanity.
My shovels identify as large spoons…
I have a few shovels that are drilled full of holes, mud won't stick to them and they are very light.
I bet they would require a tax stamp as the might be classed as full auto.
Just saw a video of a fellow using a "clean" shovel to grill steaks over an open fire.
Just tag'em as cooking utensils.
I prefer a concealable, foldable assault shovel when out in public….🙃😲
Way back when I worked construction I thought a shovel was just part of my body I used them so much
On one job a old fellow had laid his claim on one shovel, even had his name scratched on it I got it by mistake one day and he unloaded on me
That's My shovel ?? Me ---- WHAT
Him ..I keep it sharp and extra clean so it makes it hard for mud or concrete to stick too so put it back
The company owned all the shovels there was more than a dozen hanging on the tool trailer wall I just picked up the first one
Any way I just handed him his special shovel o
back if he was putting that much effort on a shovelback the least I could do was respect his efforts
But it always stuck over the years getting a but chewing and how he was so attached he'd to his shovel
Will add
So I guess a post hole digger is a double barrel
I have a serrated shovel made to cut roots.Will that be a class 3 shovel?
