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

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 ...

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

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 :)

History / Prophesy - Poland from sea to sea. [57]

You propose and advocate Poland from sea to sea in different threads.

Not correct! I may have said about it as a possibility, but nothing more!
Whatever I talk about it about regaining a partof the stolen land! I don't talk about the way, I do not set the timetables.I want only establish consensus for the idea.

I hope you realise it is worthless daydreaming.

Thats is BS! I hope you realize it!
Its is possibility provided that Poland will establish an independent and efficient government.

Other Polish writers are not known because their art is good and understandable only for Poles.

Well, that overrated satirist maybe be recognized by the world, but I don't really care what the world is thinking :) do you ?
For cultural expansion literature in polish language is enough as polish culture is attractive for the part of the world we need it for!:P
