Move to America. We will trade you for 2 liberal types.

deal

um... I thought you couldn't even own paintball guns in GBR?

lol yeah we can, the closest thing we can get are semi auto .22 ar's and striaght pull .223's,you need to be a member of a gun club for years to qualify to own a .223, thats what im working on now,its all nuts

I thought if you expressed desire to own a gun you were put in jail.




We'll send you pictures of AR15's if you want.


They'll figure something out for you.

Good luck

thankshis

Let us know when you're coming to visit.


I'll have to admit,

Your beer is better.

hehehe its not bad at allhe

what about mag restrictions?  .22 lr AR would be kinda fun for plinkin. as long as they didn't limit mag capacity as I suspect they do.

you have to be a member of a gun club?  whats the purpose of that?


eta: Leon, NYC is one of the most restrictive areas on guns in the U.S.

compare that to my home state of Tx where:

You may own a machine-gun, any caliber (subject to NFA)
You may own any semi-auto rifle.  You don't have to register it either.
You may own any pistol.
There are no mag restrictions.
You may carry a pistol concealed with a permit.  This permit must be issued if you qualify and take a short training course.  
You may carry a long-gun openly (the cops will probably harrass you though).
You may transport a firearm pretty much wherever you want to.  

Hell, I keep a shotgun in my van all the time for self-defense purposes.

Basically my state has almost no gun restrictions.  Mostly we're just covered by federal laws.

mag capacity is limited to 10 rounds I guess the idea about the gun club is to make sure that  only keen target shooters get hold of .223 +larger calibers (there is a talk of a .50 ban here too),as for the ministry of truth thing, it's probably only a matter of time!

thanks for the information, very interesting stuffhave speak to you all later hopefully

But the food... yeech...

Lovely place to visit though.

If you ever decide to spend another vacation over here let us know.  I'm sure there can be an informal shoot setup quickly.  Might even get a chance to try out a few full autos or something.

When you visit the US next, make it to Virginia, Kentucky, Texas, Arizona, Nevada or one of the other states where citizens are truly free.

Oh, and I think he is worth more than only two liberals.  One gun-loving, freedom-loving individual is worth at least 100 liberals.

I do invite you to join our forum and become a bronze member, though not mandatory, you will learn alot. We,ve some very highly technical type people here. We've also got people from all walks of life, from high school students to PhDs & MDs, and everybody in between. The cost is $20US, I don't know how to translate that into pounds and shillings though you will have to figure that out yourself. You folks are about 8 hours ahead of us in the USA. We've got 4 times zone in the Continental USA. A fellow Brit who posts here goes by the nickname of vito113.

Getting American magazines(the reading kind) is probably pretty expensive considering the extra postal fees involved. I personally subscribe to American Handgunner, the only problem with it is that it is only published once every 2 months. I like that magazine alot.

Welcome to AR15.com! You might want to talk to vito113. He's our most prolific Englishman, and he apparently has one of those straight-pull 223 ARs.

And yes, New York City is one of the most restrictive places in the US, as far as gun laws are concerned. But, there are dozens of states that have virtually no state-level gun laws. Most of the South and Midwest have very few restrictions, but the West Coast and the Northeast are generally the most restrictive. Florida, Georgia, Texas, Virginia, and Arizona come to mind as the best, but there are many others. Stay away from New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Washington DC, New Jersey, and California, though. I believe Miami is one of the few really big cities with almost no gun laws. It's quite liberal, but the rest of Florida passed a pre-emption laws preventing them from making any gun laws. If you ever come over to the US, let us know (try the hometown forums for the area), and we may be able to set up some shooting.

Just as a warning, there's a lot of political flamingdiscussion here, but make sure you have a thick skin before you jump into the fray.

You don't need to worry about the shipping on the membership, of course.  And if you are interested in purchasing some of the merchandise send an email or IM to one of the staff members listed under the "about us" button near the top of this page (next to the Armalite lion and Bushmaster snake).

We're very glad to have you here and would appreciate your active involvement.

Dry Brit humor can be quite popular around here.
