i just applied for my R/PAL recently but i certainly don’t have my hopes up on approval …
and the god damn liberals making the background check for over your life instead of just the previous 5 years might exclude me from ever getting one if this application is denied
If that’s the case that is a stupid law. It’s like saying you can’t own or have firearms in your home if you have alcohol or prescription drugs. In fact I would be more worried about someone wigging out on pills with a firearm than a pot head.
I guess that depends entirely on what part of Europe you live in, and how you were raised.
Finland, Iceland, Austria, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Serbia, Montenegro, Malta, North Macedonia, and Bosnia/Herzegovina are all in the top 20 countries (civilian guns per capita). Most of them basically on par with Canada.
I can’t remember if I loved weed or guns first. I have a nice collection of mostly shotguns and a few hunting rifles. Nothing much newer than the 1960s except for a stainless Tikka for the rainy days. Gun ownership is reasonable here in Canada. I have a harder time getting my guns into the USA when we go out west to hunt.
That’s an FNX45 Tactical. They are pretty decked out. Premilled for reflex sights, threaded barrel and suppressor ready night sights. I was draw to it for the 15 rnd capacity without feeling overly massive like a lot of double stack 45’s do to me. It’s definitely not EDC material. For a lot less money the S&W M&P9 VTAC has all the same features (less the threaded barrel) and that is my EDC.
EDC is tough, sometimes when the normal compact is just too small and full size frames can be just too bulky.
When I was in TX, my EDC was my S&W model 915 (5906). I called it my “Goldylocks Gun” Not too big to carry comfortable, but not too small that it was uncomfortable in my hand. The only thing I fount which was better was a Glock 19 with a mag extender.
