I don't think so...that would likely be uncomfortable and I think the article mentioned something about using them as displays in the regimental mess.

You see, I was always told that if you wanted to send crap like that home you do it in pieces. Not the whole damn weapon.

Yes, you send it in pieces ans assemble it later. You have to be civilized about this sort of thing.

Stay in Afghanistan if you don't like our rules.

I understand the AK-47 and other weapons but what's so bad about clips and a scope?

The panty-waists who are afraid of guns and all things to do with guns get the vapors at the mere mention of anything that's anodized black.

We used to be able to bring home SKS's but apparently it is now forbidden for any weapon or parts. Does this include bayonets?

Why take a chance.

Years ago my uncle said to me that when he came home from WWII they were told just before they docked in Halifax that everyone would be searched for weapons. Obviously it was very common for the soldiers to have Lugers and such, so those who feared getting caught tossed them in the Halifax habour. He thought have the produced German arms could be found there. He didn't toss in anything and they were never searched. I don't know all of what he had but I remember being in awe of the Luger and #36 Pineapple. He's since passed away but I assume my cousins still have them.

Dumbass. There's only about 100 signs warning yu not to mail weapons home. Mostly on the American NSE though.

Are you sure about that? All we had to do was fill out the proper paperwork and we could bring back anything we wanted, and people did. They were only supposed to be brought back as museum pieces, training articles, or display items, and rendered inoperable, but the definitions were incredibly vague. They told us this before we even hit the ground. It was right after the "alarms" lecture we all had to suffer through. They even gave out copies of the paperwork we needed. Needless to say, most of them were filled out within the first 2 weeks of tour.

I dunno, maybe the rules changed again.

Bringing weapons home as "museum pieces" is not a decision left to an individual soldier. There is a quagmire of paper work and red tape to go through and is done by a unit, not an individual. These guys knew better

Growing and possessing pot is illegal in Canada.
