Cameron,
Sounds great! Welcome to the forum. We need people like you. How soon can you move? (ha, ha).
Seriously, if you're ever up in Crook County please let us know. We have a good number of people who would love to meet you.

Cameron, welcome to this place.   What semi-socialist country did you come here from?  Is that country's being semi-socialist close to being sort of pregnant?  What sort of bangsticks are you practicing with?  I could get the MBR being a bolt gun, maybe an Enfield?? but don't know what an EDC carry piece might be.

New Zealand

The MBR is an FAL
The EDC is either a Colt Government or Commander

I just introduced the long guns here http://www.fundamentalsoffreedom.com/fswforum//index.php?topic=4950.0

Welcome Cameron.

New Zealand is an interesting case. There were some articles a few years ago in Liberty Magazine about how it had taken some significant steps away from socialism and toward freedom. I guess not enough, eh?

It wasn't until I heard Rush Limbaugh define Liberal and Conservative that I realized I was neither and ultimately discovered Libertarians...

The words "liberal" and "conservative" have become essentially meaningless in this country, at least as applied to politicians. I wouldn't necessarily trust Rush Limbaugh's take on them.

As FSW's "other foreigner" I'd like to say 'Welcome Aboard!'  Perhaps we'll get to meet at the next Jam?

Welcome aboard Cameron! 

Just had some relatives come back from a one year stay in New Zealand.  As they just returned a few days ago, I have not had a chance to talk to them much.  They are avowed socialists, so it will be interesting to see what they have to say about NZ. 

To give you an idea what I'm 'dealing' with: When I asked my nephew what socialist meant he said, "Socialism, social".  That's it, guess he thinks it's about being friendly to everybody ???  Yikes!

Rush can be an interesting listen, but Paul is right, IMHO, in that liberal and conservative have various meanings in various social circles.  One observation I would make is that the definitions of 'labels' like liberal, conservative and libertarian are in a constant state of flux.  So, it really takes getting to know folks to understand their underlying principals.

But then, that's a good thing? :D

    Cameron, please tell me that you did NOT bring any more sheep here and that your Co business does NOT involve sheep. B

Cameron, don't worry about biathlon. He's just a recovering sheepaholic.  :D

Now, now... don't worry. Biathlon doesn't run that by very often... We all have our little quirks...

I have only "met" one other new zealander that I know of.(on line)   He asked with a very open mind to know what is the american gun rights debate all about.  I have so much respect for the ability to look at that subject objectively.  I hope my answer was as unbiased.  Probably not.
Anyway, I already had a good impression and here you are to reinforce it.
Welcome.
