Gun ownership in France -- still active

[Shung]

just wanted to adress a thing. Feu-Libre is a french SPEAKING forum, with french, belgian, and canadian members, but it is a SWISS forum !
I was moderator there. English speakers are welcome if they have any questions.

Wow. Even though I lived in France for a while, that was before I became interested in firearms.

Good to know that if I ever decide to move there, I can at least enjoy some of the same stuff.

I was on a 7 day photo shoot for a French clothing catalog. The photographer and I ended up talking about guns, and he was saying that sometimes it can take up to a year to get a gun permit. Talk about a waiting period! He was not a gunner, but seemed very proud of the FAMAS. On a side note, the crew was horrified when I BBQ'd some baby back ribs on set one day. I had to force them to try them. After they tried a little bit, within 5 minutes the ribs were gone, and they were laying around with BBQ sauce all over their faces saying "those were amazing". I lol'd. Very nice people though.

Eric Grauffel became one of the top shooters in the world, while practicing in France. There has to be some possibility of ownership.

Albeit a 10 month old thread, a very good read nonetheless.

I'll try a little French: C'est bon que les gens Francais ont l'Liberte aussi! Nous sommes freres, vraiment. (Pardon my absence of accents, but I don't know how to make them on this website!)

This but increases the necessity for the U.S. to fight the U.N.'s designs to disarm the world.

Mais c'est bon, parce que on ont des armes a feu

I just had the extreme pleasure of spending two weeks in Paris (with trips to Versailles, Normandy, and Rouen,) and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised in every way. I had already lived in Europe for four years, and I was still astounded at how well the French live. I still don't quite understand their ingrained culture of contrarianism, but they are not at all stupid, lazy, dirty, or rude.

Thanks mljdeckard!
