Do you really own one?

haha, I wish, in my hood one isn't allowed to carry a knife, knuckleduster, pepper-spray or anything really, so, no, just kidding.

I was hoping we could have a competition. Not really a competition because you would be going up against a Steyr SSG 69 that I do own.

if the only competition would be sniping, not fast in the combat aiming, you might be right, although you aren't too young so....

(mean mean)

All kidding aside, I spoke to an Israeli former presidential guard, who told me that from 25 onward its going downhill with the aiming bit.

Not sure if that only applies to shooting while driving or from driving vehicles, etc...  VS sitting on a couch aiming at birds.

I played poker at a house game in Cleveland. 6 of the 8 people in the game had their guns on the table. NY is a whole different world.

A handgun license is impossible unless you're well connected.
A rifle/shotgun license is difficult & expensive. You could get one but they really make you jump through hoops and wait forever.
That being said, had i known how long I would end up being in NYC I probably would've done it years ago...
8 years later... any updates?
