Howdy folks. Gun ownership in the UK,

[Otherguy Overby]

Blair, why not just take a plane to the US and then just stay here like most everyone else seems to be doing lately?

Hi Blair! Always good to see a fellow Scotsman on these forums.

Welcome to the High Road. It's saner here.

For those of our brothers in arms across the pond that are reading this, you probably don't know how hard your govermnet has now made it for genuine UK citizens to migrate over, unless your family originate from another country or you can start a business over there it's a no go zone. I got a job in '97 working as a riflery instructor in North Carolina and they would only give me a visa for a year?

Uhh... DAMN SON-OF-A- MOTHER ING !!!:banghead:

I kinda had my heart set on emigrating there, eventually. Deep breath, let it go, Lo.Com...

Oh well, a belated welcome to Blair, anyway -- seems his original post slipped under my radar, back in December.

Blair, you should do a cost benefit analysis of owning a gun.

This means... are you willing to hang out in seedy locals for an underground connection (risk verses reward).

Are you willing to hide your property so that Big Brother doesn't find it?

If you don't hide it, and you use it for self defense, will the neighbors hear the shot, will you call the police (realizing that they will arrest you for exercising self defense)???
