Just elaborating on why I think our gun laws make more sense.i didn't realise an argument was being had mate. we were generally talking about the different laws in our respective countries. a subject that i always find interesting
Just elaborating on why I think our gun laws make more sense.
So what about shotguns with rifled chokes? Or ordinary chokes firing slugs?..and any smoothbore
Weird isn't it, you lot can have many types of guns but you try getting hold of a decent petrol can since the CARB compliant laws came out.
Over here we can just buy a petrol can and not worry about it......
To the relief of all and in particular Toddy, I'll just say ( rearrange at your leisure ) - not I'm touch going barge to with a pole!
Sorry folks, I didn't mean to cause any grief in this post. I was just commenting on some differences in the firearms and knife laws between the two countrys.
I would imagine that it would be the same all over the world restrictions on this and that or no restrictions at all.
Guess we would all have different reactions to different things.
Again sorry if I sturred up a hornets nest.
You said it
Balance is a very good thing; and I think that the conversation is trying for it. Haggis' point about there being 50 states in USA makes for understanding too....think fifty different countries all with their own laws, and all trying to co-exist under another set of overarching laws.
Oi! zornt!...it's not us who has the weird laws, it's your lot that does
cheers,
Toddy
I'm a little confused about this one. I still see all the same gas cans I've always seen. From the cheap plastic half gallon ones up to the 5 gallon metal Jerry Cans. And I know a few people who store gasoline (unwisely, but legally) in 55 gallon metal drums at their homes to fuel generators after a hurricane.
I'm just relaying the info I got from being on arboristsite. Seems that there's a problem getting cans that don't have some weird form of pouring spout.
It came up on a thread where they wanted a Stihl combi can which for some reason is not allowed in the US.
As mentioned on THIS thread.
I suppose my mental weaknesses are causing me to chime in, but here goes. I'm a gun owner. I carry a pistol or revolver at all times here in the States. Then again, I really enjoy traveling in France and Scotland and knowing I do not need to carry a gun, and I really enjoy seeing police officers in Scotland walking the streets without a sidearm, and knowing they aren't likely to need one. If you were to ask this gun owner, gun carrier what I think, I'd tell you I like the countries where guns are far less common, perhaps even nonexistent.
As for different laws in different places; the U.S. of A. has 50 states, and state laws can be very different from state to state. It seems entirely logical that laws will vary from country to country, and these differences are part of what gives a place its charm, or perhaps a reason to avoid it.
