Check with your local laws! I’m Canadian and have a firearms license, our government reclassified roughly 140 families of firearms as prohibited hence why I can no longer use my Kriss Vector.
My coworkers took me to the range one day and I immediately went and got my license afterwards by completing the Canadian Firearms Safety Course, it’s such a fun hobby!
I'm uk I thought about it, the tldr is it's a PITA and there's not many shooting clubs I can get to.
Wow, UK laws in regard to acquiring your license are more wild than ours! I’m shocked to see you cannot own a Shotgun with a barrel shorter than 24 inches and, by the looks of it all rifles must be chambered in .22 Lr.
Not too sure about GB firearm related crime but hopefully one day regulations ease up on licensed owners over there!
Could be I doubt it though it's just not part of our culture. Funnily enough I was anti gun but then my NRA American friend explained away the myths and now I see it totally differently!
