They are neither tougher ...Re. the gun laws in CZ:<br /><br />They are neither tougher nor more lax, simply different. 40+ years of Communist rule have thinned the ranks of civilian shooters, since you had to be a party member of high standing, to be even considered for a permit.<br /><br />Since 1989, things have gotten a bit better, but there are very few armed civilians (only 4 shooting ranges in Prague). This, in turn, leads to a very low "demand" for changes.<br /><br />At this time, you have to be over 21, pass an is-he-a-psycho test, some basic fireamrs knowledge quiz, and demonstrate capability to operate firearms safely. That however, is the relatively easy part. All these things are just part of the process of applying for a permit. The "demonstrated need" part is a formality, and having a clean record of crimes above certain sentence treshold is (I think) common in the US as well.<br /><br />There is however a tricky criteria of being a "reliable citizen". This allows the keystone kandidates to deny the permit for a wide array of reasons, up to, and including, being detained during a peaceful protest, or having too many parking tickets. The police(men?) do not _have_ to deny it, but they _can_, wich of course, does not lead to bribery at all... <br /><br />Technically, the law makes CZ an "shall issue" country, but the (un)reliability sticker makes us a "may(be) issue", depending on the police precinct.<br /><br />All firearms are registered (though there is not any balistic fingerprinting), and "written into" your permit. You cannot buy any firearm without a valid permit, nor can you buy ammo without it. No supressors, no laser sights, no ful auto (well, absent special permits, but there are very few of these). You can carry more or less anywhere, excluding courts, large public events and suchlike. Carrying a gun while drunk is illegal and "may" (read will) lead to losing your permit. There are no laws about brandishing, open carry is technically legal, but socially awkward.<br /><br />Comparing to what I can (quickly) find on the net about MA, it seems to me about on par with that state.<br /><br />I think that what differs is not necessarily part of "gun" laws, but is rather caused by different legal culture and less fragmented jurisdiction in CZ.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />uke<br /><br />(Being probably the only Czech reader ;-))ukecanekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951538718670266480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-16575709411516170492011-07-30T10:06:56.959-04:002011-07-30T10:06:56.959-04:00Magpul would make a mint off of a special run of &...Magpul would make a mint off of a special run of "McCarthy commemorative 'banana clip' 30-round PMags".<br /><br />The right color yellow polymer exists and is used for other public safety applications.
