Nigerian law permits gun ownership already, 2Buff. With that license any civilian resident of Nigeria with no criminal record [/i]may LEGALLY own and use a double-barrelled shotgun or bolt-action rifle, though neither of those two categories of firearm are ideal for self-defence. Indeed, the small-print of Nigerian firearm licence booklets includes the stern admonition that the licenced weapon is authorized for use ONLY as a "hunting and gaming" instrument. Finally, by Nigerian law, ONLY serving or retired SENIOR military and law enforcement officers are permitted to legally posses handguns, and anyone else apprehended with one will either cough up serious bribe money or do time in the pokey.

To serve up rapid and profuse follow-up shots that are paramount in self-defence scenarios, ONLY a pump-action shotgun will do, but to qualify for [i]legal ownership of a pump, one would need to join a neighborhood vigilante group, which ought to be workable for anyone willing to spare the loose change that will buy exemption from vigilante patrol duty. With that paperwork hurdle scaled, do NOT be tempted to acquire a semi-auto shotgun, because they jam frequently and that takes precious seconds to clear. Furthermore, a seasoned hand operating a pump-action shotgun can blast away as rapidly as any autoloader, while un-jamming way faster, if needed.

Say No to semi-auto, aim true, shoot safe and NEVER waste your ammo on warning shots.

ode remo:

Guns are everywhere now, no dulling. Even private guards with heavy weapons now patrol your reedeem church and other places of worship, @ shagamu in ogun state vigillantes with guns patrol openly during the day and night, same within all that remo axis, reason cos the community have to step up and protect their ppl as the nigeria security system have totally collapsed.
Dont kid yourself guys, protect yourself and family.
Report any crime @ the station and u pay them toeven write you a report talkless of investigate .

Natasha,,:

those of you saying yes I wonder what you're thinking, Its NIGERIA we're talking about oh, a Country full of mad men in clean clothes, this will definitely increase death rate drastically

2buff:

I see people are still looking at things from a "nothing has affected me yet" position. It's not your fault dear. It is the typical nigerian mentality you have been surrounded with and hence grown up with.

I'm sure your tone would change if your dearest uncle's family house was broken into,
looted,
your uncle's wife and his daughters(your beloved cousins) brutally and continually  r[i]a[/i]ped
while your uncle was forced to watch.
And, if he's lucky, he gets shot afterwards.

When all this while this would have been easily prevented if the man had a gun firing at the robbers outside from the safety of his house, causing them to scatter and run as "this one no be easy job oo".

That's where you're wrong, my family has been robbed before, my  Father was shot it was  God's grace that kept him alive, but so because that happened I should carry a gun?  come one, does it have to boil down to one of my family member been killed? this is what you don't understand, just look at the statement you made  it wouldn't be wrong if i say that such incident has robed the victim of ''clear thinking'' hence the reason for saying we should carry arms. Following this its obvious that that judgement coming from such a person is definitely not right because the persons sense of clear judgement has been blinded by his unfavourable experience. I will not let mine to be blinded by any experience. Carrying arms is just a no no no and I don't think any reasonable person will say such   

Natasha,,:

BTW 2buff if that happens God forbid all I will pray for is that justice prevails and not to carry arms for what? so that at the slightest provocation you can kill someone and blame it on the devil, so that people can start killing those they don't like because they might never get caught, so that arguments would be settled by gun shots? or so that senseless teenagers can go on shooting rampage, probably when you get shot by one you would have a rethink. Just why? oh you think its for self defence really how well can you defend your self from a gun man standing distance away from you? a gun man you can't even see? tell me, How well can you defend your self when you find yourself in a situation where your gun isn't reachable? tell me? or having so many guys attacking you and eventually using your own  gun made for ''self defence'' to kill you     

Natasha,,:

I just read your previous post, you're talking about the US and their legalising carrying of arms really? so how come their crime rate is still increasing, how come they have so many unsolved murders? how come hey have the highest rate of violation cases in the world? My dear carrying of arms solves nothing.

2buff:

Like someone already said, people are allowed to have guns in their homes. This is good, all I'm saying is if everyone actually tried to go out and get one for their home, robbers would not have such a field day destroying lives every night. And religious f*cks wouldn't find it so easy to kill and r#pe people undisturbed in service of some demon god. Do you agree or disagree with this?

You totally missed it. That was not my previous post. trace again.

nwanna89:

We should be calling for a law which bans the possession of guns for civilians. Guns will not be allowed to be imported into the country, unless for police/military. That way, it gets harder for criminals/terrorists to get hold of weapons to use.

2buff:



You totally missed it. That was not my previous post. trace again.

ewo 2buff so you sabi lie like this   no be you start this thread?   or are you talking about the last post you made before I posted on this thread?

Natasha,,:

Yes I disagree 100% if things worked that way how come the  US has the highest rate of r@pe cases in the world?  How come people just wake up one day and go on killing holiday? answer me 2buff how come?   when soldiers are on war front do they get scared because the other party also possess arms? NO its bumper to bumper,

2buff:

Y'all know that at a certain point in his ministry when danger was imminent, Jesus told his disciples to sell some stuff and buy a sword. They were only able to buy one, to which he responded "It is enough" 

My guy, just one gun, is enough to prevent some of the atrocities I hear in naija everyday 

2buff:

Who's talking about US this instant?
Ok you seem to have trouble tracing "immediately previous" posts. You're instead going several pages back. Here I'll repost what I intended u to read:
So again I tell you, wisdom is profitable to direct. If you are living anywhere in the north or even ABUJA as things are looking, I highly suggest you guys get one for your homes. Because when poo goes down, it won't be funny.

2buff:

^^  And why do you keep shying away from the fact that having a gun in the home drastically increases your family's chance of survival?

Okay I will follow you and face the US issue. The reason I ignored u on this one is because u were just talking out of bravado. You say US has the "highest rate of violation c@ses".
No be just to talk and voke my little strumpet. I've always known the charts, and you're not even close. Post evidence and the facts to back up this your statement. Until then, I can't do but ignore all that mosquito noise.

As to the guy that got robbed from window. We thank God. When a thief comes with only stealing on his mind he comes with stealth. Armed robbers are more bold and don't have time for window runs. That aside, how will they use window to enter if you are on the top floor of a 2 storey building? They GATs to come through that door, and they simply die if they break the door open. Simple.

great I just saw the recent chat lolz   okay fine I was wrong but you wouldn't still deny the fact that they still have a very high rate of violation case besides 59% of violation cases are not even reported in the us  

anyways this was where i got that from http://www.mecasa.org/statistics.html

okay that's where you go wrong again even if it was two storey building they can still do the same, few months ago armed robbers visited, while trying to match the door open repeatedly my dad herd the sound and screamed and I believe that was because we didn't turn on the gen. Now take for instance the gen was turned on, they match the door open get into the house and you're are still snoring upstairs how well can your ''gun'' help you?

2buff:

And you want to compare that to violation cases in naija? either unreported or recorded 
You'll notice that nowhere will you even see such an index for NAIJA because popo don't give a damn to be collating such data.
I promise you if ever there were a truthful compilation of such an index for naija, you would be disgustingly surprised.

Do you run your gen in your rooms ( like I've heard some people do) that you won't hear when someone is curb-stomping your door down? 

2buff:

Eya, how many times have you been robbed?

Be like say dem no like una at all and have gotten too bold.  case in point

lmao we've been robbed twice, the first was when my dad was shot, It was a serious robbery  that was the first time I witnessed such including my parents, they came after robbing our neighbour and locked her in her apartment   the second was little just window thieves, got away with my dad's laptop imagine after they did that the defecated on the ground and used the white shirt I soaked in a bucket to clean up     The third was unsuccessful that was when they barred the gate and were trying to match the door open, before my dad woke up. My mum picked up her phone and started shouting DPO SEND YOUR BOYS TO MY COMPOUND  . . .   which DPO?
