The †roll Cave ®™

Well I tell everyone that they need at least a week to learn for the exam (best scenario) and then the cops may take up to 30 days before they issue the license. That means that started looking at this once one realizes he may be in situation where he might need a gun is too late.

Most people in the country undergo driving license exam when they turn 18 even though they don’t have a car nor plan to buy one. They should treat gun license the same way.

Kind of like the citizens of Ferguson flooded gun stores when the SHTF there last year only to find out that there is 10 days cool off period before they can pick up the guns they purchase. Not helpful when the streets are ruled by mob and police ordered to stand down.

You bring this up a lot and I have never seen any evidence of this . Not that it would surprise me if it was true . The BBC is left wing as fuck .

Until our discussions I was completely unaware of Czech gun laws . I have never seen it mentioned in our media what so ever , never .

If gun laws are brought up (very very rare ) it’s about the US

Well, citing Czech Republic and Switzerland, both with permissive gun laws and MUCH lower crime rates would not fit the political narrative in the country with restrictive gun laws.

Well, you probably didn’t care. Breivik did take care to see that.

There were also two other British newsreels that made headlines here. One on child sales and other on thiefs in the country. In the first one, they alleged that it is easy to buy a child, but they did not describe a single case nor did they attempt to buy one. In the second they showed how basically you get jumped on every corner. Couldn’t get any case taped so they used payed actors and showed it as a real thing.

We are kind of tired of being portrayed as backwards gun toting child selling thieving eastern monkeys.

then almost everyone would have a licence and potentionaly a gun and that does not sound safe.

There are enough checks and balances in the licensing system that we currently have that I really wouldn’t be worried.

yea I just read through the wiki link (i forgot to read it all, thanks to food intrusion) and it seems that not every thug could get it.

Also if this is serious offer I’d really like to go sometimes. I do live in Prague.

It is. Please keep it in mind and contact me at beginning of October, I am too busy until then.

noted in my calendar

This made me chuckle.

Apparantly almost 60% of Czechs would vote for Hitler if he promised to get Europe rid of fugitives.

czech source here

It does not matter that almost no fugitives are coming here.

If true this was likely the guardian . Another left wing pile of crap .

Having a little look myself I did come across this .

And this . Which seems to be a copy and paste of a BBC article .

thats ridiculous… legal drinking at age 21?
You can get a driving licence at what age? 16?

Something has to be done with it. You should be able to drive AND drink.

Funny that this is getting mentioned. I’m actually working on designing crap for a fictional non-profit that is campaigning to lower the drinking age, for one of my graphic design classes. The non-profit organization, which is entirely fabricated for this class, is named CAAD ( Coalition Against Age Discrimination).

I actually didn’t pick the company to work for, or the topic, or the name, but I still have to work for it for the entire semester.

I’ve never understood why its 21 in the US . you can drive at 16 . You have people under 10 using assault rifles without anyone batting an eye .

But can an 18 year old have a pint ? No fucking chance don’t be silly :slight_smile:

The man told us he had many more weapons for sale. Our contact also offered to get the weapons we bought reactivated to fire live ammunition within a week for just £100 more.Unwilling to break the Czech gun laws, we declined his offer.

That is inaccurate description. The way Czech laws require deactivation means that it is changed to be able to fire blank cartridges. So that is why it mostly remains functional. However, major components are changed so that if you “reactivate” firearm to fire live ammo, it will blow up your face.

That is the difference between Czech reactivation style and Slovak one, which allows firing live ammo after reactivation (as far as I understand Slovaks have/are about to change that after the Charlie Hebdo attack).

Anyways congrats on the purchase to the newspapermen, since normal price for deactivated VZ.58 is at about € 250.

One more detail. While Czech laws require change that will lead to catastrophic failure in case of reactivation, the gases out of the blank round may leave through the barrel. Most other countries require that the front of the barrel is sealed and gases leave through drilled holes on top of the barrel. Maybe that is why the “specialists” the newspapermen asked didn’t realize it is blank fire deactivation that may not be reactivated without expecting loss of face within first 5 rounds of live fire.

"Back at our hotel a weapons expert stripped down the rifles and was shocked by the poor standard of the deactivation.

He told us: “They have left major parts of the internal structure untouched.

“It wouldn’t take long to get these firing bullets.”

The weapons we bought can be legally sold and held in the Czech Republic. But they would be illegal in the UK and anyone caught with them would face a mandatory five years in prison."

[/quote] when done correctly as I quoted above . The article does say the weapons were poorly deactivated and not up to legal standard.
