I'm still glad I was born and partially raised here in NJ even with our crazy laws, I value my guns and would never work in Jamaica EVER again. Great place to vacation but if you value the right to bear arms it's about as bad as it gets. It's funny, last year I was in a food store over in the city and was talking to a guy I had known for a few years (a cashier). We started talking about guns and I was offered a Colt M16A2 with M203 launcher for $1,500 US dollars cash money out the back of the store, I walked away FAST and blocked it out as my ass was tightening up warning me of what the future would hold if I purchased it. BTW, the cops recovered the M16 it was in the Jamaica Observer a few weeks later. The guy that had it went bye-bye and has never been heard from again...

Thanks for posting the vid!

Welcome and have fun with the new AR!

Good to know, maybe he will listen maybe not but worth a try!

Blue powdered donuts? Strange but sounds good Might try calling the smurfs support line for advice.

He wouldn't do that, it's to enhance his own personal collection

What was in the donuts? lol

I spent 10 years of my life growing up in Jamaica while my grandfather operated a resort along with another partner (will not name the company, it is well known and you likely seen the commercials on TV for it...), I lived in the parish of westmoreland (town of Negril, were the major resorts are based) and at 17 I had my license from the Firearms Licensing Authority (FLA) which issues permits to own a firearm/conceal carry a firearm in the country of Jamaica. Let me tell you something about guns and Jamaica, they do not go together at all! You cannot simply land at a port (air or sea) in Jamaica with a firearm or single round of ammunition, people have been sentenced to LIFE with HARD LABOUR for a SINGLE ROUND OF 22LR! Get caught with a handgun/shotgun/rifle/bb gun/airsoft gun/blow gun/etc. and expect a LIFE sentence! If this isn't bad enough, the Govt. decided they needed a larger prison to lock up those caught with illegal firearms/ammunition and they build a compound that puts even the most secure US Federal prison to shame. Were talking no windows and horrible conditions, shit you cannot even begin to imagine. It's the South Camp Adult Correctional Centre (dosen't sound too bad, right?) but the other name it goes by is the "Gun Court", now anything with the word "Gun" and "Court" in the same sentence is normally a bad thing but this takes it to a whole new level. The Govt. performed a mass confiscation of firearms/ammunition and would close off towns/go street by street searching people and buildings/homes for illegal firearms. Today, this still takes place and when you see a half dozen white Toyota pickup trucks with guys carrying SMG's it's a sign they are about to conduct a massive search operation. Those searches are done without ANY warrant and the JCF (Jamaica Constabulary Force) and JDF reserve (Jamaica Defence Force) have been known to conduct extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, etc.. of persons that they feel have gone against the Govt. This isn't something that happens in tourist areas but in area like St James (Montego Bay) and St Andrew (Kingston). Jamaica once allowed private ownership of small arms, that become very restrictive during the early 1970's. Approx. 50,000 reigistered firearms exist in Jamaica, majority of those weapons are registered to private security firms (Atlas is one that comes to mind, similar to Brinks here in the states) and a small portion of those 50,000 firearms are owned by private persons. To obtain the license (yes, a foreign national ie US citizen can apply) you need to be atleast 17 years of age and: -Obtain a TRN (basically Jamaica's version of a Social Security Number ie taxpayer registration number. Foreign nationals can apply and it's simple for US citizens to obtain) -Have no criminal background, they conduct a local and internation investigation to determine if you have ever been arrested. -Provide several references from a JP (Justice of the Peace), Attorney, Medical Doctor, Military/Police officer. -Undergo a medical examine by a licensed medical doctor in Jamaica -Take a written and practical test, this involves live fire (range time). -Have a secure location to store the firearms/ammunition. No, a safe isn't enough if you have first floor windows they must be barred and no I'm not joking! The safe and your home must also be inspected by the FLA to ensure it's "secure". -You will be issued a permit valid for 30 or 60 days to obtain ONE firearm and a limited amount on ammunition (ie 100 rounds). You MUST keep track of the ammunition including spent shells! They can ask to see the spent shells and remaining live ammunition at ANY time! Here is the real kicker, you must be able to provide a serial number, cal, model and make of a firearm already in the country before the permit is issued so you better shop around at one of the 3 Govt. approved stores that are not open to anyone except license holders. note- You can purchase additional firearms but I'm unsure how you go about this as I never purchased a second firearm. -Now you have your firearm and ammunition but you have finished that limited stash of ammo so just go to the store and buy more, right? nope! you need approval to purchase additional ammunition! -Ready to conceal carry that new handgun? one thing, the Govt. can block certain areas off from license holders at any given time (ie Prime Minister is in the area) or the Police/Military are conducting a "Joint Military Police Operation" so better call ahead (that's another story in itself) and make damn sure the area you are heading to is OK to carry in! -Leaving the country to head back to your home in the states? Can't leave the guns or ammo in that expensive safe and barred house! Need to hand them over to someone who is approved (IE Police Station at the Airport) and pick it back up when you fly back in. -And last but not least, if you ever loose any registered firearms you are in DEEP SHIT. Better pray that Glock turns up and file a report with the Police and FLA as soon as possible because they have the right to DEMAND you show up at the local Police Station every so often to make sure you haven't sold the gun to someone on the street. Good luck and don't forget the thousands of dollars you will spend to obtain the permit, firearm and ammunition!

I'm all for fixing our Federal system and bringing back the true America we know and love but overthrow the entire Federal Govt.? Is this man f***ing insane? did he forget to take his meds? Why was the Russian Govt. giving him undisclosed amounts of money (black funding?) during his short stint as a host on RT (Russia Today). Get rid of the DEA, people want drugs? let them die from OD. Get rid of the ATF, give control back over to the IRS were it all started and abolish the unconstitutional NFA/GCA acts. Get rid of the other select Govt. agencies and a few of the alphabet agencies that waste massive amounts of tax payer money doing little good, pay back the debt we owe China with the money we save. But to overthrow the entire US Govt. would bring the US to it's knees and trade/commerce would come to a halt. That would be devastating. On a side note, he's smart. Get others to show up the 50 state marches while he sits back and watched live coverage of the marches on TV.

atleast it's over the internet and the use of night sticks/mace do not apply lol

They were fixable but should NEVER have been shipped out like that to FFL's for resale, I don't care if Century says "send it back, we'll fix it screw it up a second time less S&H"

Oh, just like that thread about the cops...never mind! I understand a lot of LEO's are members on this forum but why go off the wall on someone if a thread mentions a cop doing something dangerous /wrong/unconstitutional/illegal/whatever.

Jackson can't be that bad, I'll pick you up and drive you around parts of Millville/Vineland that will make Jackson look like Cherry Hill

Oh I know about the issues with Century firearms, some of the early products were fine but I've heard about them putting parts in backwards or missing/damaged parts, bad fit and finish, etc. If I'm spening $1K on a Century I want to hold it in person and check it for any problems before spending that kind of money, I have shot Century products that were fine out of the box and had no issues with parts or fit and finish so it's rolling the dice quality wise.

You know that wasn't a legally owned firearm, right? Probably the $50 ghetto blaster/burner special.

Very nice! I still prefer the receiver side-mounted surplus scope I'm running but that's a sweet setup! Is that your rifle?

I'm sitting here with a piece of metal in my eye, reading that only made it worse lol

OK, but why waste LEO's time when they could be protecting people from REAL threats versus showing up a Disney and taking the guys legally owned firearm? If the "CCW Prohibited" signs hold no weight in FL Disney should leave the customers alone and accept the 2A rights of the American people, these same people spend sh*t loads of money at the park and if the customer feels the need to carry a concealed weapon they should be allowed to carry it. Maybe the next time Mickey is held at knife-point he'll wish someone was carrying concealed nearby

Some FFL's will refuse to transfer anything they feel might come with risk by transfering it. Hence, you might find one FFL who might say "Sure, order it" the other might say "Nope, not gonna happen at my store". I had one FFL refuse to transfer a WASR and Colt Match Target since they had "a lot more guns to risk loosing versus that rifle you purchased".

But the children!!! How many in State Senate know the difference between a clip and a magazine?

So if some LEO wants he can say stopping to get lunch or something to drink at a Wawa was unreasonable and lock you up/have a judge decide if it was reasonable or not? What exactly this Republic considers to be resonable remains open to interpretation and selective enforcement, that's scary!!!

Imagine if you fell face first into a puddle of piss after getting sprayed with water, that would be a shitty day :X

Well, it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot now would it? No signs posted saying the property is a firearms free zone? Tough shit, they better put signs up or stop making up policy as they go along.

Just got a few these plus some other stuff (knives and bayonets): http://www.zib-militaria.de/epages/61431412.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61431412/Products/120013[5] Much better quality compared to the cheap Romanian slings that ship with the wasr, these things are like towing straps lol Anyone have one of these? Are these real common? I also snagged a few Afghan war mustard color slings but waiting on those to ship.

I have bad eyes, I NEED a scope lol Can't wait to get one of these Thanks for the good suggestion!
