Things you can do down the country that you can't do in Dublin.

No it's an offense in a highly populated area, whereas a rural country road isn't.

That's my understanding of it, the guys in the shooting forum can explain it much better as some of them know the firearms act backwards, I just know what I need to in order to stay legal. The same way you need to be a safe distance from a road to discharge your firearm, as I was pointing out to the poster I quoted.

It's a person choice but I waited until I have my own place in the country before I started geting my firearms, you need to be much more security conscious certain parts of Dublin

Fairy nuff.

Bit strange though: you feel safer down the country, but you need firearms?!

Maybe it's also the case that only in the country do you get driving instructors with the motto "Look at the space, not at the face"

WTF

For hunting, shooting random rats and crows(both are pests for the tree huggers from D4) and shooting at the random Dublin person trying to rob our house

Enter a pub in wellies covered in shoite
Pop out to local shop to get 20 Benson and Sunday World in a Massey Ferguson 35....covered in shoite
Running through a fields kicking the head of thistles and slipping in cowshoite
See moving statues
Be told not to go down to the river the strange uncle we all have
Enter any public place wearing wellies covered in shoite
Rent VHS tapes from 'John Joe's' and get your hair cut there too....covered in shoite
See several old Toyota Corolla E30s lined up outside mass...covered in shoite
Mass
Dinner cooked on a 'range'
Getting hit in the head with a badly aimed sod of turf

I feel safe in Dublin, my firearms are for sporting reasons, you cannot get a cert for self protection. If I lived in the part of Ballyfermot where I grew up I would be much more security conscious, rather than feeling unsafe.

However, with saying that I have quite a high level of security in my own home, but these are requirements I needed to get my firearms. For example you need a gun safe in order to legally own a air rifle in this country. As you move up in terms of caliber and the amount you own the security requirements become much stronger. I have three safes in my home just for hunting, a gunsafe for the firearms, a small safe for various ammo, and another for the mags and bolts for my rifles, that is without the monitored alarm.

However, even though I feel the system is too severe over here, owning firearms does require a strong responsibility on the owner to ensure they are safe and only the owner has access to them.

I only have to walk about 500m and I'm in some fields where I can hunt using either rifle or shotgun.

I can't do that in Dublin.

Get your car engine checked by a fella with a B&H fag hanging out of his mouth
Relay your identity by to whom you are related
Do your lessons, sipping a mineral while your mam goes out to get the messages
Not being allowed go into the "good" room until Christmas
+1 for the thumb firmly on the windscreen to prevent cracks
+1 for throwin up the hand to every passing car
Collect conkers, play conkers

Obviously you are just trolling by posting this thread in a Dublin forum.
