got busy looking through old pictures. nothing like thinking about the past.

 

[HighStrung]

Has anyone ever thought about moving out of country? I had the idea today that when my lease is up to move to South America. Or even Australia or an island of some sort.

As much as I don't like the way some things are going with this country, I still prefer to stay right here.

One of the docs I worked with said a normal American salary could buy a very nice house in Venezuela.

I've been looking at the Serpa Holsters lately, but I read somewhere that because of the finger release, there have been some ADs when pulling it from the holster.

what do you gun wizzards know about this?

I have a SERPA for my XDm. I used it at the PW shoot. If you depress the "button" and draw, your finger is on the frame once you clear the holster.

I don't even wanna make it permanent don't get me wrong. But I'm 19 my lease is up in less than 2 months. And I'm not married don't hardly speak with my family anymore. And I'm unemployed. But I get a large check in October. And I was thinking WTH ill go to Chile for a year see what its like. I have nothing around here to keep me around why not adventure.

No guns in Australia.

 

[lawrra]

Oh, and thanks for all the birthday reps!

 

[Kingrat]

No guns in Australia.

actually i dont think thats entirely true, i believe you can get a license to own certain hunting/old military rifles, probably all bolt action stuff *shrug* im not entirely sure

another page ownage, with actual content this time, hooray!

 

[lawrra]

The hoops you have to jump through to get them are ridiculous. You can't have semi-auto firearms unless you meet specific criteria.

I have a friend that lives down in Australia and he says it's almost impossible for a foreigner to get permission to own a firearm, his wife is able to own rifles because they live on a ranch.

 

[MarkM]

Well that totally rules out Australia for me. Maybe ill just go to Brazil or something. Can I take my gun there?

As a foreigner you probably won't be able to take your gun to any other country, have you considered moving to another state?

 

[SavageEagle]

I've considered moving to another Country as well. Instead, I think I'd rather just move to Montana or Alaska. That's enough change for me.

If I DID move to another Country, I'd go to a place in Southeast Asia on an Island chain and I'd make sure I could move REALLY easy. That way if I had to defend myself I could leave quickly and quietly....

12. I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
13. I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.

26. Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass whoopin'.

I'm here!!! Miss me?

Of course, if I were here myself anyways, lol


I've been busy the last couple of days. My sister came home from Seattle for a visit and I was busy getting ready for yesterday. Had a cookout and fireworks show. Invited some family, friends, and a few people from church. Then my sister, fellow INGO member Yamaha, and I all lit off the fireworks and had a good time.

 

[lawrra]

I'm thinking about hitting the range in the morning. Roush for anyone wondering.

If I didn't have my car to work on, I'd be there! I just did some work on my Springfield mil spec today and wanna get some practice in with it. But I'll definitely be going to a range sometime after next weekend. I'm trading my Springfield 1911 with V12 porting for a Kimber custom compact
