| I just received an inquiry asking if I'm interested in a research position in Romania. Should I consider it? I'm widowed and retired right now. |
| Romania is a nice place, been there many times and have friends there. Very friendly people, the only issue is the gypsies, a metric shit ton of them over there! Oh, and lots of stray dogs, last time I was there you had to watch out for roving packs of stray dogs. |

Gun ownership in Romania is regulated by Law 295/2004. Romania has one of the toughest gun ownership laws in the world.[106] In order for citizens to obtain a non-lethal weapon, they must obtain a permit from the police, and must register their weapon once they purchased it. Civilians cannot purchase a lethal firearm. The only categories of people who are legally entitled to carry a weapon are magistrates, MPs, military forces and certain categories of diplomats. A psychological evaluation is required beforehand in all cases. Furthermore, knives with a blade longer than 15 cm are considered weapons and have a similar regime to those of firearms. Wiki |

Wait a minute.... I just did some research on these people and you might want to think twice about this. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xlbBxSkiPhM/VAOJrguhXAI/AAAAAAAAAbg/Tv24fJ_h4_4/w506-h304/IMG_2879.JPG

The correct answer is "I'm interested. What are the details?"  Quoted:
Quoted:
I'm going if they make an offer. I have family that can take my guns while I'm gone. I'll rent out my house. All I have so far is an inquiry asking if I would be intetested. The correct answer is "I'm interested. What are the details?" I'll find out more next month(17th). I'm guessing someone where I used to work gave them my name and email address. |

I work with a guy from there and him and his dad are big into guns, I call him lettuce .
He and his father came over for dinner one day and lusted after my collection and the dad pulled out a wad of money and said name my price on any of them. They both really wanted my psl's. Both are legal to own guns here and love this country. OP, I can talk to them and see what they say about places to avoid and what places are a must visit as they go back all the time. They truly hate gypsies and the Russians

However, if Romania is anything like Greece, the gun laws are widely ignored. I'll bet there are Kalashnikovs on the black market. |

What part of the country? I spent some time in Iasi (Yesh) and had very little problem communicating. A large part of the population there has at least semi-passable English skills. They have some great, reasonably inexpensive red wine too. 
Magurele. Small town. |
