We had a shooting range in the basement of the high school. Shooting 22lr rifles was mandatory for everybody. And military service years after high school was mandatory as well.
Yes, eastern Europe and Russia are quite different.

When I was growing up we would bring shotguns and rifles(usually 22RF) to school so we could hunt at friends ranches after school before going home or before shooting time ended. Sometimes showed up to school with birds we shot before school.

We did not worry about a gun case or locks either.

There was often ammo and ammo boxes in the cars/trucks at school even if there was not any firearms. That way if you wanted to hunt/shoot you just needed to get the firearm and go.

Knives were common in cars/trucks and many carried a pocket knife without any alarm or worry. Heck knives were sometimes a project in metal/wood shop, being made from old worn files.

Would not suggest that now!
The PC/protect you from everything, do not expose you to anything people would have a cow and then a heart attack........That might be a good thing

Russia is awesome. Can anybody buy AK 47s and shoot them on your property like you can in the USA???

100 greentips says, that creeper army dude asked all the children "does your daddy have any of these around the house?"

No, not even close. Private ownership is pretty much limited to shotguns and bolt action hunting type rifles. I did read where the privileged class can now carry a handgun for self defense though, but not just anybody, you would have to be connected, much like here in most counties in California. This was just passed into law a few months ago.

We had rifle club in my LA high school. M1's every thurday would walk into school, no one gave it a second look.

Try that today and you're dead.

Why don't you move there?

[NIKSD]

We are talking about two different thinks here.
1. Yes, nobody there really freaks out if they see a gun. And they do not really think teaching a kid about firearms will result to anything bad.
2. Yes, firearm possession by civilians is strictly enforced, a lot of hoops and rules, you need to be connected in order to get the permit.

So they trust 6 year olds with AKs but not average Ivan. That sucks. I welcome all Russians to come live in AK tolerant USA.

What was the point of bringing machine guns and RPGs in their schools? Any guesses?

[major burnout]

яб от счастья обоссался в таком возрасте- потрогать автомат настоящий...да хотябы каску померить...в детсве слышал много баек про залежи оружия в деревнях смоленщины и пр., где в огороде или старом сарае можно запросто найти немецкий автомат...чуть не уехала по большому счету, ну его нафик. дети же.

Looks like they are 0 tolerance in schools and 0 tolerance at home too.

Russia is an awesome corrupt kleptocracy, I guess.

All this is about is the fact the Russians will NEVER forget the Nazi invasion of the USSR. Twenty million Russians died in WWII; it's a lot more than a war movie to them.

When I was active on rec.guns (over ten years ago), I corresponded off-line with a Reno-based member who was from Russia and who was obviously a gun nut with a lot of experience. I asked him how he became so familiar with guns growing up in the Soviet Union. He said in the USSR there were public shooting ranges everywhere (probably run by the Red Army), and anyone could go to the range any time they wanted and shoot military firearms as much as they wanted, no charge, ammunition provided. It was their version of the CMP.

But you could not take the firearms home with you.

Probably not so different these days, except I bet there are fewer public ranges since they can't afford them after 15 years of systematic looting by Putin's oligarch buddies.

Russia is awesome.

Really? You truly think so?

You need to learn about Russia, then come back and tell us all how awesome Russia is.
