    Hello everyone!

    Longtime lurker, now finally joined your ranks! I'm from the Netherlands, which means that I cannot own a gun (it's very difficult to get a permit).

    From my earliest days I've been fascinated by guns, rifles and the military. And the fact that you cannot own a gun doesn't help :p My main interests point towards 1911's, bolt action rifles and knifes (of which I own quite a few, from Ka-Bars to Eickhorns).

    I would love to explore more and hope to own a gun someday.

    Cheers,
    Dutch87

    The Netherlands! Wow! How did you find our little piece of the internet world?

    Welcome and hope you have the pleasure of owning a firearm one day. :rapture: Have you ever been able to shoot a gun?

    Still in the Netherlands? I'd be happy to take you shooting if you were local.

    But I'm sure everyone here would work a trade. Photos of guns for photos of hot chicks!!

    Welcome aboard!

    I do hope so! And yes I have! When I was ten or eleven years old, a french farmer allowed me to shoot his shotgun. It was amazingly scary... Still have the shotgun shell to this day!

    Welcome Dutch , if you ever make it to Pensacola I'm sure there'll be plenty that will be happy to take you to the range. What a shame Europe is so anti-gun. As many times as they've been invaded you'd think they'd learn.

    There was another guy on a forum I was a member of in KY that went by the name 'ulwembu' and he shot in competition shoots at the Knob Creek Machine Gun shoots. He is from the Netherlands as well and is a great guy. Good to have you here, hope you find what you're looking for.

    Welcome Dutch! As for the 1911's they hold a special place in my heart also, everytime I hold one I feel that impulse to buy it.

    Welcome Dutch87, Strange that you are interested in 1911's, I collect firearms from your two neighbors.
