Funny - I am from Canada and I don't remember anything in our constitution about bears being armed.
I think people are getting confused it the americans who have the right to have armed bears - or was that bear arms (which in itself would look pretty funny, a whole bunch of people walking around with really hairy arms and big claws).
Ahhhh - the right to walk around in t-shirts, that is what the founding fathers of the great USA meant.
Thanks for clearing that up Micah - guess I didn't understand that 'cuz our weather is so damn cold the last thing we want to do is run around in short sleeves with bare arms all the time.
