News / Polish Lithuanian Diplomatic War? At last. [534]

Poland should just bring these 210 thousand or so Poles from Lithuania and 400 thousand from Belarus back to Poland if it really cares for them, it's just a matter of time before they'r

Poland should get Her land back and than give those Poles choice !

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

ow about a Little news from boston last year:

true story: it was a provocation, and it wasn't about rifles but about cannon suppled by the French !

I'd say quite a lot of people do have guns, yet majority of them don't really want to use them.

I back it up!

but some of them are so poor they have to.

because their are thugs and deserve to be shot !

I've also been robbed by two Polish guys once, but that's only because they were pointing a gun in my face.

well, criminals have no problem with the access to guns - thanks for your support AJ:)

Well them gun ownership in P-Land is sounding more and more like gun ownership in some of our states, only a little more strict. So what's this talk about legislation then? Peeps just want to ease the restrictions?

well, you may qualify but at the end of a day, decision maker in your case, would decide that your reason for owning a gun are not sufficient and deny you the right !

So, yes peps wants to ease the restriction because policy in that matter is really excluding !

Must one have firearm training

basic only and rules of using firearms

Banker? Business owner?

yeah

What determines these special folks who can own and/ or carry a gun and the ones who are not permitted to?

money and/or connections, theoretically: good reason/need for owning a gun, health, mental health bill cleared by a specialist, and financial stability ...

So some peeps can indeed buy/ own/ carry guns?

yes but you need a permit, not that easy to obtain for an average citizen.

black market-y.

you can buy gun illegally on black marked, a few years back quite easy, EU and all clamped it down a bit, but it is still possible, not many peeps are going for it because if caught you may got five years behind the bars

nothing mysterious about it :)

Is target shooting a sport there?

Yes it's ! You can go to practice range and shoot from a few firearms.You can buy and own without restriction black powder muzzle loaders :)

Cannot a private citizen own guns for hunting?

Yes, but he have to become a member of Hunters Association and pay for the privilege !

Are there no gun shops where one can buy guns and ammo?

there are but not many for the obvious reason .....

Does anyone have a permit to carry?

Some do !

Can they keep sidearms in their homes?

need a permit for it !

What are the penalties if one runs afoul of the no gun laws?

I think, five years imprisonment for possessing gun without permit !

Any guns at all in society?

Sure there are .....and you can buy guns quite easy, money and know how is enough.
Thats the one of the reasons that I would support the right to owns guns in Poland. I think that people opposing the right aren't aware how easily you can buy a firearms ......

Genealogy / SKI...SKY...ZKI...Polish surname endings [38]

Hence Józio Kowalski probably originated to mean 'Joe the blacksmith's kid'.

joe the blacksmith's kid would be rather kowal-czyk, but your version is possible to some extend

There are many Ukrainian names ending in ski

so what? jewish names too but its rather due to people emulating polish names or of polish origin!

jasinski means son of john right

yeah ! most likely - Johnson :) on the other hand it could be someone from Jasin :)
