Countries with Good Gun Laws

[bthest86]

What other countries still have good gun laws.

None. None of the countries I've seen listed has what I would call "good laws" or sensible gun owning freedoms.

Certain countries in Africa have absolutely no gun laws.

"If an armed burgler bust into my house and I shot him, I would be looking at a prison sentance.

Hang onto your rights guys."

I'm originally from Hawaii. That's what would happen there too. If you shoot a guy who broke into your house at O'dark thirty who was foaming at the mouth rabid, carrying a knife, shotgun, assault rifle, machine gun, and a nuclear warhead they'd still arrest you and charge you with murder. With a REALLY good lawyer and a lot of cash you might even beat the charges.

One of the reasons I live in Florida now.

What's a good gun law?

One requiring good guns?

Any law that restricts someone form doing something that doesn't harm someone else, doesn't take from someone else, or restricts that person's ability to seek happiness, is not a good law; PERIOD.

Laws restricting the use of firearms to kill peple or rob people are ok. Laws restricting the use of guns because they might be used in killing or robbing aren't.

In other words gun laws aren't good if they don't deal with the actual crime being committed. Also it is important to look at the two words when combined; GUN and LAW. Laws are written to establish a code of conduct in which people are meant to follow and to define punishment for those who don't. By placing the word GUN in front of LAW you are focusing on the inanimate object and not the person who owns/uses it.

The only "good" gun law is one that doesn't exist.

The Dominican Republic has very good gun laws, passed after they got rid of Trujillo.

New Hampshire. Oh wait countries? New Hampshire.

Ha. Yep, NH is one of the better countries for gun rights. VT is good in theory, but some of the cities there have bad local ordinances.

VT is good in theory, but some of the cities there have bad local ordinances.

There is state pre-emption rendering them all null and void. And the courts have a history of over a century of tossing the ordinances out anyways when the cities attempted to enforce them, before we even had state pre-emption made law.

I looked up Costa Rica since I'll be going there on my honeymoon. I can't bring mine, of course, but they do have concealed carry. You have to fill out forms, pay what is probably a fortune in Costa Rica, take a psychological test and you're set. Of course they are registered. Only residents can carry... but you can become a resident if you put 60k in a Costa Rican bank...haha.

That is one of the reasons I want to go to Costa Rica rather than Belize. No guns there. I'll take my chances in a country that people legally carry weapons rather then a country where only criminals have them.

Whew! Great "reality check" thread. I'm staying right here in Florida, where I can buy an EBR and take it home the same day, and where I can carry a concealed pistol almost anywhere.

God Bless the USA! STILL the land of the free.....and worth fighting for.

Yup gotta love the U.S.A. when it comes to guns! If your a legal law-respecting citizen you really have some great freedoms here.

From what I've heard, occupied Iraq has great gun laws--up to .30 for rifles with no other restrictions (auto or semi treated equally). Pistols, shotuguns OK also.
