    After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel czcams.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!

      Kyle Stamps If the situation here in europe gets worse, I'm considering moving to USA, simply because of the gun laws here in Europe. Im antigun in first world countries, but when you have to live in constant fear of getting robbed/looted, you should have a right to defend yourself. Would you be so kind and tell me about the legal situations, regarding foreigners like myself trying to aquire firearms in different states of the USA? Thanks in advance!

    • @Grabbagar670
      @Grabbagar670 Před 9 lety +6

      For the record, i dont live in constant fear of being robbed. Ive never been a victim of a crime. I carry out of principle, and if im attacked, i can protect myself. The US has a very low crime rate especially considering that we have the highest rate of ownership in the world by a landslide.
      As to your question, if you go to a gun range in the US (there are lots of great indoor ranges with lots of stuff, some even have restaurants) you can rent guns for use at the range. If you want to buy they usually require a background check that rakes 5 minutes. Itll usually ask if youre a US citizen, require a social security number, a state issued drivers license and a bunch of other stuff. But im pretty sure there are a few considerations for people who visit the US legally. Dual citizenship wouldn't hurt either.

    Early 2008: While I was temporarily working in Yuma Arizona, I met two retired British Army SNCO's now living in Arizona for a number of years, one is a County Sheriff there. I asked why they moved from the UK to the states, both stated that they knew they were going to move when the British Govt started prohibiting gun ownership, they also stated that the UK drifted towards socialism so fast they didnt want to be a part of it. At the time we met they were both riding ATV's and assisting the US Border Patrol, both were packing pistols and AR's.

      +jgrove2000 I think your numbers for France are greatly exaggerated. If they were true then the mortality rate is still much under that set by pro gun US and the recent killings in France are an abortion while the US death toll is not. By owning a gun in the US no one was able to stop the attacks on the Twin Towers. Don`t get me wrong as i like the idea of owning a gun. It appeals to the boy in me and in the past i have owned several shotguns.Our schools do not have security as it is not required. I can see no safety for our children in a general population being armed.

My country has been taken over by Anti-American politicians who are more concerned with lining their own pockets than doing their job. And them we have Barry Soetero AKA Barack Obama, but I can't even get started on that a-hole. Guns aren't the problem, bad people are. If we have someone Ina list because they can't be trusted why are they running around in the first place. Welcome to the new politically correct Unites States.

    This bit was disturbing to me: "following in the wake of handgun restrictions 15 years ago in the UK, we've all but forgotten about sidearms. .... and with handgun crime rising massively in the wake of the handgun restrictions, maybe it's time to relax the handgun restrictions in the UK." This is exactly how gun owners feel in the US, when people who know nothing about guns want to ban, restrict, or further control them. Disarming law-abiding citizens or making it harder for THEM to get guns, but doesn't restrict criminals at all; it just boosts the black market and removes our means to defend ourselves from the bad guys.

    You were raised one way, we were raised another. I wouldn't trade away my rights for anything in the world.
    But, if you're happy and feel safe, that is cool. But you could come here and meet your average gun owner and see that 99% of them are honest, law abiding, friendly, help-your-neighbor types of people.

    Cabela's merged with Bass Pro... they're one company now.
    However, we do have many small mom & pop style gun stores around the US as well as retailers (like Rural King) that have a gun counter in a large retail store. Typically, they don't carry a huge selection in store, but they will have low prices on what they do carry... and you can order from a larger selection they have online. Ship-to-store in my experience is not difficult when ordering online.
    We also have Gun & Knife shows (at least quarterly where I've lived) that have a small entrance fee (generally $1-$5, but can be higher) and a few dozen (up to hundreds) of dealers will all come together, set up booths, and peddle their wares. (Customers still have to pass a federal background check to buy guns from a vendor at a gun show, and some states have mandatory waiting periods before delivery.)

    So, since this was filmed we have seen Gander Mt stores go under. Cabelas and Bass Pro are now combined under the same company. Calling them "Gun stores" is missing the broader appeal. Those large chains cover a wide array of outdoor sports including fishing, boating, archery, off road sports, camping, hiking and more. The gun store is just a part of the larger store.
    Jims Firearms is located here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and is focused specifically on gun sales and is more of a representation of what a typical "gun store" is. I've been there several times and even took a Concealed Handgun class with them. It's a nice place but is not even trying to target the "outdoor" market the way Bass Pro does.

If a person doesn't or cannot store guns at home, then can select an alternative place & that could be a friends house or with an approved gun-storage company for a small fee. A registered firearms dealer could also as as a storer of firearms hot a small fee too.

    In 1985 Brits could legally own handguns and semi-auto long guns. There were 5 gun murders that year. In 2011, handguns and semi-auto gun ownership long banned by laws there were "officially" 59 gun murders, likely far more, since bureaucrats are altering stats by reclassifying criminal events to show numbers lower. That's a 12 fold increase. US murder rate actually one half the 1991 rate. Oddly, there are more handguns in UK today than ever, estimates 2,000,000. In London alone, 150 pistols are confiscated weekly.Violent crime rate in UK 4 times that of US. We all know about the CHaVs, "glassing", "Black Russians"(UK street slang for a Makarov pistol), etc.
    I hope you Brits get some of your gun rights back.

Canada is getting them also. I know it's hard coming from a tiny island where you can't drive over 45mph, managed forests, managed hunting etc.. but we have NO clue when you say only in America, because we also have small towns everywhere and small gun stores. We don't compare ourselves to tiny England(sorry) or anywhere else and just want everything bigger than you. You mistake us for being brazen, but we are just a large country with many cities that have people from all walks of life and some are overly prideful.... a human problem among large groups of people. There are vastly more humble and wonderful people here if you stop watching the news and listening to your griping, condescending over liberal friends and spend time with us here. You can spend time in most places here and never see a crime or a gun unless you want to.
