chartpolski 23,145 Posted July 20 Author Report Share Posted July 20 In Texas you can pick up an AR or AK with your groceries at the local Walmart with minimal background checks. You see ordinary citizens walking around with side arms on their waist, pickups with full gun racks parked up outside of bars. Ive never seen or heard of that gun culture in the U K. Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No no you couldn’t 14 on a shotgun licence isn’t the same as walking and buying an ar 18 that’s never been a thing since the introduction of the firearms act 1920 if I remember correctly no one was ever sat at home with semi automatic ar legally stored in the wardrobe to quote you “ are you for real ?” Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know the gun laws here. Never had the need for a license, it was, and probably still is, the law that you can use someone else’s shotgun with their permission, which is what I’ve done on many occasions. And one especially for you, mate ! LOL ! In Australia and New Zealand I was out with .303’s, 30-06’s and shotguns loaded with slug. No one seem interested if I had a license or not ; Cheers. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
