I feel offended by the sentence above, I see rich brats eve teasing ladies too, not just "lower-class men".
As a matter of fact, those going to pubs/clubs harass more! Their fathers have friends in high places, so we dont generally read about them
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger

rakshit,

I have seen my share of C96 pistols.However the one in the video is not your normal run of the mill C96.It is the carbine version of it with a wood forend and a slightly different shoulder stock.This will illustrate the difference [youtube][/youtube]

It's always better to have a gun and not need it than need a gun and not have it !

Its heartening to know that this trend is picking up.
OTT
Incidentally my mother is toying with the idea of picking up a handgun license for herself.
She is a bit worried about all the additional responsibility though.

Xl: not a lot of gun owners in india wear any sort of ear or eye protection. The best is bystanders plugging their ears with their fingers.
They as it is fire such miserly amounts per year, that i guess, they'd be craving for the sensory stimulation of a loud bang.
Ofcourse they dont know better.
That little sawn off shotgun can get the gent in a lot of trouble. I hope for his sake its a replica, and he put it up there just to add some 'heft'' to his collection.

I have a question.
The NRAI website says a PB weapon can be attained from father to son. Just that ammo will be restricted to 50 cartridges per annum.
So, even if its a PB, how can it get him into trouble?

Well, then lets hope its an inherited piece.
Did any one notice that the lady handling the shotgun, didnt even mount it properly?

Anyone else noticed the lady can't cock the Ruger .22?
I say it's just the same old use of guns as status symbol. I don't think they care much about RKBA.
When I'll get to shoot a gun?

Shhh anti gun people are hearing this..lol. Honestly though i wish people in this video displayed safe gun handling .Nevertheless good effort from the ladies and pro gun sentiment :cheers:
@ winnie sorry didn't notice the carbine that your keen eyes caught. You are the man and what was stupid me thinking ; that Winnnie would not have seen his fair share of broomhandles. Apologies...
I dont dial 911... I dial .357
