mikolo80: Your grand father carried a bolt action, what kind of license was he having? That your neighbor, what kind of license does he have? If you don't know the type of license they have, please stop quoting me, because its beginning to appear I'm talking to a kid. |

mikolo80: The constitution was written in 1778, the NRA was formed in 1871. Laws can't change what are stipulated in the constitution especially amendments. For example, the right of abortion wasn't in the constitution, it was a case law determined by the supreme court and as a result, women in the US can have abortion. Even on a higher level, the right to bear arms and the right of the press and right to practice your religion can't be compared to that of abortion which means they exist similarly like the right to life as stated in the constitution. The constitution protects the right to bear arms, the NRA lobbies for that right. |

mikolo80: What did you explain effective range as in relation to the AK 47? |

mikolo80:if you clean your rifle well with CLP after every use, you should not be worried about jams. Any assault rifle will jam if not well taken care of. 1 Like |

Thisnut:why should I burden myself with rifle cleaning when there is a war to fight do you know how many important things I can be doing while you're cleaning rifle |
Re: How Can One Legally Own Fire Arm In Nigeria? by mikolo80: 1:00am On Sep 05, 2016 |
alexis:I never did effective range simply means that that is as far as the human eye can see a target unaided most assault rifles can still kill at 6 to 800 yards/metrs with a scope maximum range of the ak is actually over 4km altho by then the bullet cant do much damage if any and I did not learn that online BTW Trained by the army's best 1 Like |

mikolo80: What does it mean the law was made for man and not man for the law as related to this discussion? Laws can't change what is stated in the constitution. Congress can't make laws that go against the right of the press or the right to bare arms. It can happen in Nigeria but not here. I have tried to tell you that several times. If you think the NRA is the only group that lobbies for the right to bare arms then it's apparent you need more education when it comes guns ownership |

mikolo80: Education time 1. http://gunowners.org/ = Gun Owners of America (GOA) is a non-profit lobbying organization formed in 1975 to preserve and defend the Second Amendment rights of gun owners. GOA sees firearms ownership as a freedom issue. 2. https://www.saf.org/ = The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is dedicated to promoting a better understanding about our Constitutional heritage to privately own and possess firearms. To that end, we carry on many educational and legal action programs designed to better inform the public about the gun control debate. 3. http://www.grnc.org/ = http://www.grnc.org/home/about-grnc' 4. https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/ There are many private and state gun organizations that support the bill of rights and the 2nd amendment. I hope that helps |

Re: How Can One Legally Own Fire Arm In Nigeria? by alexis(m): 3:50pm On Sep 14, 2016 |
mikolo80: No doubt about that. The NRA is the 10,000 pound Gorilla when it comes to gun rights and lobbying in the US. |
Re: How Can One Legally Own Fire Arm In Nigeria? by mikolo80: 7:40pm On Sep 14, 2016 |
alexis:o no Of course I knew there will be other pacs and groups Just that the nra is the most visible |
Re: How Can One Legally Own Fire Arm In Nigeria? by alexis(m): 2:27pm On Sep 15, 2016 |
mikolo80: You stated earlier: who else lobbies. Educate me or you're just making stuff up The NRA is the most visible because it has alot of money and influence and that is because it has been around for quite sometime. However, there are other groups that oppose the NRA but fight for guns right and they are gaining alot of traction. |

Jakumo: ''Having thoroughly tested the accuracy of an AK47 rifle at the firing range where many crates of ammo were expended at paper targets, I can lay claim to a very deep familiarity with the AK, going beyond mere shooting, and into the realm of complete disassembly and reassembly, which I perform blindfolded with ease'' Keywords: AK47rifle, firing range, crates of ammo EXPENDED, paper targets, disassembly and reassembly, blindfolded Which unit are u serving?. |
Re: How Can One Legally Own Fire Arm In Nigeria? by yjgm(m): 11:35am On Oct 01, 2016 |
alexis:I only corrected his assertion that the effective range of AK47 is 100. It is a range of 100-400m. It depends on the capability of the user. |

papaejima1:I have used it and others (G3, FN etc). I know what am saying. It depends on how you handle it. A marksman will always bring down his target within the effective range. |

Jakumo: I bring up this old post but very informative @jakumo @Alexis @yjgm Do you hunt in Africa Nigeria How possible is it to own a 308 Remington 700 in Nigeria there is now the 6.5 creedmoore which has less recoil and flat trajectory which will do more damage on games am looking to shoot out to at least 500 yards getting a scope isn’t a problem for me I’m also interested in pump action or a double barrel. Thanks. |
Re: How Can One Legally Own Fire Arm In Nigeria? by alexis(m): 8:04pm On Jan 18, 2020 |
@Badb0y4lyf: I don't think you can own such firearms in Nigeria and I don't think you can bring them in without some special clearance from a top government official. The .308 and creedmore 6.5 cailbers are good for long distance shooting but you won't find them in 9ja; I am not even sure the government allows it. Infact, I am pretty sure they don't. Refer to the firearms act in Nigeria: http://www.nigeria-law.org/Firearms%20Act.htm You can apply for a gun i.e. shotgun at your local police station or the regional police HQ or main HQ but right now, the government is not granting these: https://allafrica.com/stories/201906060338.html Pocket knives, pepper-spray and other self defense tools are considered as offensive weapons by the police and you can be arrested. |
