Welcome to the forum!

What's not to love about that gun! As others will say, post some pics. It appears that the handgun laws are pretty strict there, even requiring that you are active in shooting competitions and must be a club member. Is that correct?

Welcome Shootout!

I would also be interested in hearing about the gun laws in your country as well.

Glad to have you aboard. I imagine 445s are rare in your part of the world.

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

The gunlaws are strict indeed.

Took me a full year to prove myself before i got my first license but after that its been alot easier.

The largest caliber over here is 455 by law so a 454casull is on the wishlist but my wet dreams involve .500s&w, guess i have to move over to the states if i want to make that dream a reality. I like a good recoil.

Firearms are not to be used in self defence, big no no.

It`s possible to lose all gunlicenses if you get cought speeding with your cae or walking drunk on the streets, does not mather that your guns are locked away back home in your gunsafe while geting cought.

A handgun license need to be renewed every fifth year.

Rifle licenses are for life.

Gunsafe is required by law.

My english is learned mostly from the movies and some from the net, i probably type better than i talk it atm as i have noone to talk to. Practise makes perfect. 😉

Holy crap!Surprised That's pretty darn strict, right there.

Although, if some certain government leaders around here have their way, our system would be just like that...and then some.Frown Actually, if they had their way, we would have zero guns & we would only be allowed slingshots with foam rubber ammo.Laugh LOL!
