UK gun licenses, can they be used in the US?
 

Anyone know anything about this? Sure i could google but there's enough gun owners here to give me the advice I need.

What's the UK gun license?

You have to be a resident of the state your in to buy a gun.

But, you might be able to own one. You can rent one at a range without a problem.

I have no idea tbh, my father has a shotgun license here in the UK, and we're both doing a trip across Alaska, one particularly risky section of road - The Dalton Highway, is better driven with a rifle from what I gather. I am trying to figure out how as a tourist we can even buy a gun with a foreign gun license, I guess it's probably not going to be easy.

Personally I'd invest in Kung Fu lessons. ASAP.

You might be able to buy one person to person.

Not completely sure about the legality of that. You might have to be a citizen.

DON'T DO THIS!

IT MAKES YOU TASTIER TO THE BEAR!!!

Gud you know fine well I've been 9th Dan since the age of 3. But you can't Kung Fu rare Sea Eagles from the sky for trophies.

Chuck Norris could.

I was told in a gun store that it was legal for me to own a gun but I could not buy one from a shop because I needed social security for them to run a background check.
The guy also told me that if I went to a gun show (or swap meet type thing) I could buy one from another person with cash and no background check.
I'm from England and have a house in Florida but only enter the US by visa waiver.
Waiting until I get an EB-5 visa before I try again.

I prefer boomerang myself.

Alaska is not the Wild West or the Gheto. So you dont need a gun unless you want to shoot a bear.

So who ever told you that you need a gun for self protection in Alaska is full of ****.

I think it was more for safety if you break down on the Dalton, I believe it's grizzly country no? there's 240 miles of it with no services at all. I think I'd feel safer with a gun. I'll try and find the link to show you, so you can see if you think it's legit as I know you know alot about stuff.

Ray Mears would call you a *****.

I'd kick the fat ****'s head in.

Nah but good stuff to watch if you're trekking out in forests and stuff http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/wink1.gif

You should start watching Bear Grylls asap !!
looool

Agreed. The only thing you might want a gun for is protection from wild animals. Even then you could just get some bear mace, which you don't need a license to carry or use.

Why don't you ask the local law enforcement?[yes]

Yeah ehm......do you guys read anything in threads? I'm guessing you need to be pretty fu*kin close to a bear to use Mace on it. I'll take the gun.

Up to 35 feet.
