It's pretty damn sad that your over there defending our rights as American citizens while you, at the same time, are deprived of them.
I wish you all the best and thank you for your service. |
|
How does one become "deprived" of rights in another country you don't have to begin with ? |
|
|
I'm in the same boat with you! It sure is nice over here but damn. Where are you stationed?

He is a U.S. citizen and U.S. Government member serving under the Department of Defense. Legally, you have a point. But as a matter of principle, I think it is horse puckey, especially if he is living on base, that such a restricition be placed upon him. I feel the same way about U.S. servicemen/servicewomen and alcohol restrictions in Saudi Arabia. Damn it, they are helping defend the host nation (Germany, in this case) and are preserving U.S. national security interests there. I would just think it would be nice for all the DoD personell to be able to enjoy the very freedoms they are preserving. |

I agree that is is a bad situation for someone that wants to shoot an AR but, as a matter, of principle, it is proper to respect the host nation and it's laws and if we (or he) cannot then we should leave. I don't think we should be there, anyway, in either country. |

I live in Damrstadt Germany but that policy applies to all US military living in Europe.
It really blows to have to go through all that cause the germans are so strict when it comes to guns but the rest of my life over here is great. The girls are just so cute and wild. I can even begin to describe it. I love trance and it is all over here. The clubs are great and the scenery is magnificent. The only other bad thing is the exchange rate, roughly, $1= 0.74 euro. |

Just found this, more BS
ROD AND GUN CLUBS Hunting & Fishing USAREUR and USAFE Rod and Gun Clubs provide sport-shooting programs to assist those with privately owned weapons (POF) to qualify for the German Weapons Possession Card (Waffenbesitzkarte). German Weapons Law which requires that individuals satisfy “need” for POF ownership can be met by U.S. Forces personnel who are members of a rod and gun club and who show evidence of actively participating in sports shooting programs (e.g. trap and skeet, small bore and big bore events, etc). Active participation is defined as a minimum of six months of formal shooting practice three times per month; and active participation in the rod and gun clubs’ shooting championship (two times in Quarterly Shooting Matches and/or once annually in the Club Shooting Championships). Membership Fees: 1year $45; 2 Yrs $75 and 3 Yrs $105. Membership in USAREUR/USAFE Rod and Gun Clubs is not required to patronize dining/lounge facilities or to purchase general retail merchandise (excluding firearms and ammunition). Since an ar15 is really an m16, cant my 4 years in the army count toards this? |

Sounds exactly what we have to look forward to if Kerry-Edwards and their ilk get into office!

I live in Ansbach. I'm debating whether its even worth the trouble. I still have two more years though, which is along time to give up a hobby. I agree though, everything else over here is sweet.

People are born with certain rights, at least in my view, and all the State can do is either protect them or infringe upon them. Rights cannot be "given" to you by the state, because you already have them. |

join the club! shoot some matches. i'll bet you would enjoy shooting some smallbore 3-p matches and i'm sure it would improve your marksmanship.
is a smallbore match rifle any easier to possess in the land of anschutz, fenwerkbau, weihrauch and walther? |
|

Wait a second, is this the same girlfriend you were having a problem understanding? The same girlfriend that you told if she was getting some on the side you wouldn't say a damn thing about it? I guess you kept here instead of tossing her to the curb lane sewer. |

Well it could be because US military bases and Embessies are treated as US soil. |
