The Official Status Update Thread: Part 81 - Raiders of the Lost Ark

[Sylvain]

bye Sam.
Sylvain, you think it was just kids messin around?

Yeah maybe.I heard like 3 or 4 people in the street.
Then a loud noise and by the time I got to the window the street was empty.
Later I found this lamp in the bushes.

So on your badge (ccw). Are you required to have a badge to own a handgun there?
Similar to NY here in that you are required to have a pistol permit to own a handgun.

Lizton. 20 mi. west of Indy off I74 (between danville and lebanon)
Liztucky was my attempt at being ambiguous when I became a mod... but now I just screwed that up by replying here

sorry about that. You should be more like sylvain, if he doesn't want to answer a question he just avoids it like the plague.

That's not my badge.
It was just to see people's reaction but it didn't work.
Threads becomes epic when someone mentions he's wearing a CCW badge in Indiana.

 

[Sylvain]

And yes here you need a permit to buy and own a gun, another one to carry it.

Hello there MM.

Eh.. Life's too short. I've nothing to hide really.
Besides... now that I participate in this thread, they have to scan through a gazillian posts to find it.

Long Guns also?

 

[Sylvain]

Long Guns also?

Yep.
Well if you have a hunting licence you can carry your long gun around but only if you're hunting.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

Yep.
Well if you have a hunting licence you can carry your long gun around but only if you're hunting.

But you have to have a license just to own a long gun?

 

[Sylvain]

But you have to have a license just to own a long gun?

Yes, a shooting licence, for hunting or sport shooting.Even if you dotn hunt.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

We truly have it good here in the states.
I had my first rifle at age 12. I bought my son (11 now) his first rifle last Christmas.

Yes here you need 12 (I think) documents in order to get your licence approved.
Then you can go by a gun.

Magpul sucks.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

Difficult for me to comprehend. Dunno why, just is. I mean, you read the articles, etc... it's still just hard to digest.
Are there many shooting ranges there? I mean, people here complain about not having ranges to shoot. My guess is very few are available out your way?

Pretty much all the good size cities have a range (sometimes you can even use ranges used by the police when they dont use them).
We even have some big ones and people come from all over Europe to shoot there (especially UK where they cant play with semi-auto handguns there).
You can even find special ranges for IPSC, cowboy action shooting and all that.

France is not as anti-gun as many people think.
I even took shooting lessons in college.I had to pick a sport so I took pistol shooting.

 

[Sylvain]

But we dont have a gun culture like in the US.
Many people here dont know it's legal to own a gun unless you're a cop or a hunter.
You need some paperwork but you can own many stuff.
You can even buy a silencer without any paperwork (it's classified as ear protection here so you buy it like ear plugs), or add a stock or your Glock if you want, even have short barrel rifle.

When I was in 6th grade (10 or 11 yrs old) our school (in NY) put on a camping trip/field trip for a week. There we got to shoot .22 and bow & arrow (and of course learn about nature, hiking, canoeing, etc). Amazing that a public school could do such a thing with kids that age (compared to today). Then I find Chicago is littered with schools that had shooting ranges in their basements.
That's cool that your college offers shooting sports! I'm sure a lot here offer shooting. But I am equally sure I would be surprised by just how many do not.

That's come common sense gun law right there! Suppressors only make sense IMO. Foregrips on pistols/SBR are beyond me. I can't imagine how in the world it makes a pistol any more 'evil'.
