@Trooper I respect your position as an Australian Citizen and your insights into the logistics Lucas likely went through to work abroad but let us not forget he was working on a cattle ranch in Northern British Columbia. That's a far cry from any corporate, clean cut, white collar existence or even academic pursuits abroad in a gorgeous city in French Canada. Cattle ranching is a roughneck world. From what I've read, he had been working on this ranch since just after Christmas 2018. Perhaps January or February of 2019. That put him up there for at least 6-7 months. We don't know what kind of people he met while working on this ranch. Then Chynna came up and they were to spend a week on the ranch before hitting the road together. There can still remain a possibility (again, speculating) that just before they departed a friend of his at the ranch said; "Here, before you go, take this (a gun) you may not need it, but just in case." It's simply another possibility in the hundreds of different things that could have transpired during this whole ordeal. You have every right to project what you would do or what other Australians would or would not do abroad just like I can make claims what other Americans would or would not do in a similar situation. Everyone has free will and we can never tuly predict
anyone's behavior. We may never know what actually happened or what he did during his time up there on the ranch
or in the hours before he and Chynna set out. I do maintain hope however, when the final report comes out we will have a conclusive answer to where these guns came from. It's yet another element of this story all of us are dying to know.
