Okay, BrunoNorway, fair is fair. We will leave this open in order to provide some corrections and discussion of that closed thread.
But, I'm going to enlist your help here, BrunoNorway, and make you somewhat responsible ... you are hereby deputized by me to help keep this on topic and must agree to hit the "REPORT POST" button [] as soon as you see an off topic post. Let's keep this one on topic, as BrunoNorway has asked. |

Does this occur in America? I'm not talking about local restrictions (for example, I can't shoot a gun in the town in which I live presumably because it is fairly well populated) but being able to own a gun but not shoot it at all.

No problem sheriff-Bud.
@:theotherTexasRich. Here in Norway you aply for a gun and you give a reson why you need that gun. In theory you are not allowed to use the gun for anything other than the use you have stated on your application. So, when you state collecting as a reson for getting the gun, well that is what you are goingt to do with it. The gun laws here are not enforced the way the laws say that they can be enforced. For example, the police can inspect your gun storage when you have bean notified 48 houers earlier. I have never heard this happen to anybody, at all. Another example, you can get get a AR-15 for competition shooting but not for hunting. But you are allowed to use it for hunting in other coutryes that alowe it. Even when it is not the reson you put on your application form.

The truth is .... maybe. But this is related to the civil rights of Norwegians and is about the legalities of gun ownership there.
Remember, there is no "P" in L&CR. Even though the politics of Norway are far enough removed from most members' daily lives that it shouldn't become a distraction, I caution against getting "political". Let's go there. |

Yeah. Thats what killed the original thread. We dont want that. I just wanted to correct some facts and i have acheived that. I could probertly go on and on about the current gun laws, about how people think they are and how they want them to be, and about the new gun laws that nobody knows when are comming. Some people say that they are in affect and some people say they are not finish making them.
Them being "THE DARK SIDE". It is more confusing than it sounds.
