So who will it be? Maybe the Irish don't like drinks? I guess.... I doubt many Irishmen are members here as Ireland seems to have the worst gun laws outside of maybe North Korea. Almost all registered civilian firearms in Ireland are sporting shotguns (177,000) and hunting rifles (54,000).17 In 2004 a successful private challenge to Irish gun law allowed handguns to be registered during what became a four year ‘window.’ The number of lawfully held private pistols and revolvers in Ireland shot up from a single legal handgun in July 2004, to 1,842 in July 2008 ? at which point prohibition on further centrefire handgun licensing was reinstated, and the licensing of other short firearms limited (see Handgun Licensing). 9 18 "Garda policy was in place that would refuse licence applications for all pistols and all firearms over .22 in calibre. As such, the firearms in Garda custody remained in Garda custody. This situation continued until the late 1990s, when fullbore rifles of calibres up to .270 Winchester were permitted to be licenced for the purposes of deer hunting on humane grounds (prior to this, only the .22–250 cartridge was available for deer hunting and it was felt to be only barely capable of this task). All other firearms held in custody remained there..... Following the Brophy case, some 300 pistols were licenced in Ireland, ranging from new Olympic air pistols (which are firearms under Irish law) to reclaimed pre-1972 pistols to new centerfire pistols. While welcomed by the target shooting community, in 2008 opposition deputies Jim Deasy and Olivia Mitchell campaigned to ban these pistols on the grounds that they could be used in crime." |

Yep Northern Ireland is way better, they seem to have some relatively cheap country homes as well. The Republic of Ireland is without a doubt my least favorite place to live (based on their crappy laws all round) in Europe. |

Apparently, as an American, OP/Buckshot Jim, YOU are not welcome in Irish pubs!
http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2014/07/22/irish-cafe-bans-loud-americans/?intcmp=HPBucket Seems like us Americans have a bad reputation in Ireland. To that, I answer, and quote an Irish drinking song: "Them that don't like me can leave me alone." The weather, the beer, and the girls are better in Germany anyway
