Re: Crimes and gunlaws
HÃ?Â¥kan,
as ususal, I enjoyed your discussion. A little while back I dated a girl from Norway. Early on I decided that she was too young for me but I thought that I could learn about Europe from her and have some fun cheap dates. Apparently there is a mandatory military service for men and women in Norway. But I decided to take her out for a cheap, but good, fish dinner date to a local shooting range and do some shooting with one of my lugers afterward. She just loved the fish dinner and it made me her friend for life. Then we went shooting. I thought that shooting one of my Lugers would impress her. But the shooting range range master made us use their ammo on the indoor range. That ammo was badly under powered and caused the Lugers to jam a lot. After I explained what was happening, she handled the Lugers like a professional and unjammed them herself without my help. She was one of those rare women who felt very comfortable with guns and we went shooting often before she went back to Norway.
The I dated a girl from Germany. She would go shooting but didn't like it. I talked to her parents and they told me that the gun laws in Germany were only a little bit tougher than the gun laws in Michigan. That surprised me since I thought that guns in Germany were outlawed, particularly Nazi era guns. Her parents are anti gun, so her and I only go out on occasion for laughs and nothing will come of it. Too bad.
But I did learn something about both countries. Your discussion added even more in my confusing arsenal of knowledge about Europe. Now if you can only explain to me how Norwegians can grow grass on their roofs without the wood in the roofs rotting and caving in. And why Europeans don't know anything about putting screens on their windows and doors to keep bugs out of their houses? Then, if you have time please tell me why snow falls and rain drops.
