Maybe if the gun is holstered it's considered concealed carry under Florida law?

I agree with you re hunting; it's an excuse or justification for owning weapons, though what exactly you're going to hunt with an assault rifle I don't know. Maybe them deer is banding together and getting real scary?
You hunt soldiers and cops.

Yeah.

I think both open carry and concealed carry should be fine but that’s it.

I think open carry is safer. If someone knows in advance they’re less likely to start **** that gets people shot.

Oh right. I thought you were accusing me, or the Irish in general, of hunting soldiers and cops.

Nah the Irish already showed themselves to be pretty inept at that.

I blame the sixteen pints of Guinness consumed before every hunt.

I wouldn't know the first thing about buying a gun in Croatia. Although plenty of people get killed by guns there every year. I always figure it's just a remnant of the war. :/

Thanks guys

It's such a long time since I was a regular here, I've since relocated and have advanced well into a wholly different career path. I now have a middle manager position in the municipality where we live which is far south of Svalbard. I also have a house (with a recording studio) and two kids now and life is generally good Covid sucks, but with my introvert leanings, I personally am doing just fine.

How are you guys doing?

I don't know much about Breivik, but I guess he was a psychopath living in a fantasy/conspiracy world.. absolutely nuts. I think he used a semi-automatic commonly used for hunting and it's been discussed politically whether semi-automatic weapons for the use of hunting should be banned.

I wouldn't mind. When do you need semi-automatics for hunting? I may be an idiot when it comes to hunting, but to my mind an old fashioned shotgun covers ptarmigan/fowl and variations on the bolt action rifle covers the rest. What else do you need?

I know there's been a couple of TV series covering the Breivik events, but I haven't quite found the motivation to watch them yet even if I feel I should.
