Matt Carricker's collection

Post by bladeracer » 02 Jan 2022, 1:20 pm

Matt (Demolition Ranch) must've spent days carting his firearms out to his range, very impressive.

It's not just me I hope, does anybody else feel like watching again just to make a list :-)

I had a little fondle of a beautiful luger last week, tempted to get a bloody collectors licence again now!

How do collectors licences work over there these days?
Can you use collector-licenced firearms?
Do they have to be deactivated at all?
The Uzi, Thompson and I think the Sten are available as closed-bolt semis, are you allowed to own those in NZ? I'm sure somebody must do semi conversions of the MG42 as well.

In the US some states allow converting Stens to semi but I can't recall ever seeing a semi-auto version manufactured for sale.

It's good that at least they are able to be preserved in public hands, but sad that they can't be used.

Now, here's a thought.
They don't (yet) have to account for all the ammo they might have, so who would know that a full-auto "piece" hadn't been used to consume a case or two of that ammo?
Just a thought :)

Yep. I guess plenty get fired. Quite a lot of people have pistols on their collectors licence. Just have a case of blanks sitting around....we are allowed bp cannons and allowed to fire them as well

The thing that is so obvious, from watching that video, is that barring a couple of occasions, he only fired ONE AT A TIME. Amazing.
Now, here's the thing.
What the f^k does it matter how many firearms a person owns! We all know that they have to be kept secure, in however many cabinets or strong-rooms as are required.
Last time I checked, I had "quite a few" :) But I can only ever use one at a time. No pistols; only rifles.
If I own one, why does the security requirement for 101 become so much more onerous? A security cabinet might contain 25, but, depending on the requirements of the relevant jurisdiction, another 1, 2 or 3 (or more) cabinets somehow now needs altogether different "monitoring" arrangements.
If some miscreant is going to attempt to cause some grief, no "back to base" monitoring is going to slow them or stop them.
That of course is our curse. Politicians do what politicians think they have to do (often at the behest of the police service) by imposing more and more "law" on the good guys. The miscreants don't give a f^k and just carry on, as they always will. But WE pay the price.
End rant.

Old mate lives in the land of the free. No such thing as "secure storage laws" there. Maybe in the crap states like California, New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts.

It is ridiculous to be told how to store your own property.

What's that new law in Victoria where you can't even store non firearm related items in the safe? Imagine getting told you cant store your golf clubs with cricket bats. Any other sub group and it would be called discrimination but molestation against legal firearms and it is all good. :allegedly:

Blanks? Blank ammo is not shooting, it's just making noise, especially in semis that won't even function with blanks. The last army open-day I went to they had a long queue to "shoot the F88". Sounded awesome until I saw they were blanks, no thanks!

We can have blackpowder cannons here in Victoria as well, CatB, so we can take them out shooting whenever we want, if we have enough powder. Can't fire explosive shells though.

Except for that little bit in legislation that specifially bans us from using BP cannons for hunting. Would love to know how they came up with that,

The inaccuracy is in the thought process of the f^kwits that dream that sh1t up.

How do you even get hunting with cannons banned in the first place. :wtf:

In Queensland a muzzle loading black powder cannon with a barrel under 120cm is a cat A weapon. So I guess you could wait for a mob of pigs or dogs to come onto your property and shoot them and it would be just as lawful as shooting any other cat A weapon.

I remember pre ‘96 lots of people kept guns in the back of their wardrobes. And lots of guns got stolen too.
Even if keeping my firearms in a safe wasn’t a requirement, I would lock them up anyway, as it’s just common sense against theft. Even more so if they were really collectable or valuable :thumbsup:

As a kid in SA my rifles and guns lived in the wardrobe behind my clothes.
WA required pistol safes even in 1990 but I don't recall any laws requiring safes for longarms. A mate had a roller door installed across the end of his hallway in the eighties and all his firearms were locked in there.
