Twenty-seven, the gun license is down (ask for recommendation votes)
Tang Ming came back from the stable and received a phone call, his gun license came down, let him go to Monte Town to get it, this time it was a rifle and gun license, as for the pistol license he applied for at the same time, it would take a long time to come down.
After getting the good news, Tang Ming couldn't wait to drive to Monte Town, got the gun license, and immediately came to the gun shop in the town.
There was only one young man in his twenties in the gun shop, who was sitting in the back playing with his mobile phone, and when he saw Tang Ming coming in, he was not too enthusiastic, and said lazily: "See for yourself, say which one you want to buy." ”
Tang Ming didn't care, the service attitude of Australian gun shops is like this, because this is a seller's market, not a buyer's market, which is related to Australia's firearms management regulations, the number of gun shops in each region is regulated, in Monte Town, only one gun shop is allowed, this is because Monte Town has a special geographical location, surrounded by pastures and farms, and the demand for guns is relatively large.
If you change to another place, a small town like Montetown is not allowed to open even a gun shop, even Sydney, the largest city in Australia, is only allowed to open twenty or thirty gun shops, not one more, if someone wants to open a gun shop, they can only buy a gun shop at a premium, or wait for a gun shop to close before they are allowed to open a new gun shop.
He walked around the gun shop and saw many types of guns, and he liked them all, but it was the first time he bought a gun, and he could only choose one gun, so he finally chose a Long-awaited Remington 700 rifle.
With the help of this clerk, Tang Ming applied for a gun purchase permit online, filling in his personal information, the model of the gun, the address of the gun shop and other information.
This is not the end, since he is buying a gun for the first time, there is still a 28-day cooling-off period, that is to say, the gun he bought can only be kept in the gun shop now, and he can not take it away until 28 days later, when the gun purchase permit comes down, and he needs to apply for a separate gun purchase license for each gun he buys in the future, so he will not have to wait for 28 days, and it only takes a few hours to buy a gun.
In addition, he also has to buy a gun cabinet to hold guns, in short, it is a very troublesome thing to buy a gun in Australia, but in order to get a gun, he is not afraid of trouble.
There was a gun cabinet in the gun shop, and he randomly chose a metal gun cabinet and wrote a check for 4,000 Australian dollars to the clerk, and the gun and the gun cabinet together were more than 3,800 Australian dollars, and the rest was regarded as a tip for the clerk.
The clerk was very happy, became enthusiastic, and helped Tang Ming carry the gun cabinet to the car, Tang Ming waved his hand to him, and drove away.
Back in the ranch, Tang Ming made a phone call to Mike, he quickly rode back, parked outside the villa, got off the horse, walked to the yard, saw Tang Ming next to the pickup truck, and asked, "Boss, what are you looking for me?"
Tang Ming patted the gun cabinet on the bucket of the pickup truck and said with a smile: "This thing is too heavy, I can't lift it myself, so I asked you to come back and help me." ”
Mike smiled: "It turned out to be a gun cabinet, boss, your gun license is down, congratulations." ”
"Thank you. Tang Ming nodded in thanks.
A gun cabinet weighs 1670 kilograms, and a person can't lift it at all, which is also stipulated by the Australian government, if the gun cabinet is less than 150 pounds, it must be nailed to the wall, which is to prevent the gun from being stolen.
The two of them worked together to carry the gun cabinet to the second floor and placed it in Tang Ming's room, Mike opened the gun cabinet to check it, and said, "Yes, this gun cabinet can hold five rifles, boss, when can you fill it, you can buy a second gun cabinet." ”
Tang Ming smiled: "I think it will be soon." ”
Guns in Australia are very expensive, the general rifle is more than 1,000 Australian dollars, the price of bullets is also very expensive, it takes at least a few hundred Australian dollars to play a robbery, after ordinary people apply for a gun license, it is good to be able to buy one or two guns, but for Tang Ming, this is all small money, but the problem is that it is very troublesome to buy a gun, if it is in the United States, he can fill the gun cabinet today.
……
The days passed, and soon it was the end of December, during this time, Tang Ming's life was very full and happy, he had to get up every morning to serve the chestnuts, and then ride the chestnuts for a few laps, cook a meal for the cowboys at noon, and generally rest at home in the afternoon, sometimes he would go to the gun club branch in the town to practice guns, and replace the water tank at night, by the way, see if there are koi in the lake, and if there is, he will catch it.
After this period of fishing, there are basically no koi in the lake, and there are already more than 100 koi in his pool at this time.
When he has nothing to do in the afternoon, he puts beach chairs and parasols next to the pool, lies lazily on the beach chairs, enjoys a leisurely time, looks at the koi in the pool, and feeds them some pool water and fish food.
December 24th, tonight is Christmas Eve, tomorrow is Christmas, Mike and they have to go back to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas with their families, the cattle are arranged in the evening, Mike and they left, they will not come back until the day after tomorrow, and Tang Ming himself is left in the ranch.
Now Australia is in the hot summer, and spending Christmas Eve and Christmas in the summer seems a little weird to Tang Ming, but there is no way, who calls Australia in the southern hemisphere.
He didn't like these festivals in the first place, and now the weather is so hot, he doesn't feel it anymore, in the evening, he simply made some food, and after eating, he went back to bed and lay down.
After playing with the mobile phone for a while, he received a video request from Song Zihui, and after he clicked on it, Song Zihui's big face appeared in the mobile phone.
Song Zihui said with a smile: "Tonight is Christmas Eve, the big landlord of Tang is still alone, why didn't he find a foreign girl and have a romantic Christmas Eve." ”
Tang Ming said: "Get out, I don't have foreign girls in the ranch, but there are a lot of cows, all of which are Australian breeds, and I will give you a few if you like." ”
Song Zihui said: "It's better for you to keep it for yourself." ”
After the joke, Tang Ming asked, "How is your anchor's outdoor program now?"
Song Zihui said: "The popularity is not bad, and the income has increased a lot, but it is a little monotonous, I am ready to finish your trip to the New Year and start a special live broadcast in Australia, which should be good." ”
Tang Ming nodded, very much in recognition of his idea, and said, "Okay, when the time comes, I will take you on horseback, hunting, and enjoy the customs of Australia." ”
Song Zihui said: "I can't wait now, by the way, isn't your gun license down, have you bought a gun, show me, let me see it, I haven't seen a real gun a few times in my life." ”
Tang Ming shook his head and said: "The gun is out of purchase, but it hasn't arrived yet, in a few days, after the cooling-off period, the gun purchase license is down, and the gun can be taken back." ”
Tang Ming explained to Song Zihui the process of buying a gun, Song Zihui listened, and sighed: "This is too troublesome, as for it, either the whole people will ban guns, or they will open up a little, and now they can't do it, criminals can still get guns, and it won't affect them at all, but people who need to use guns to defend themselves will have trouble getting guns." ”
Tang Ming said: "That's what I said. ”
He is a person who likes to play with guns, and of course hopes that Australia can be more open and free in the management of guns like the United States, but this is just to think that he does not have the influence to influence the Australian government's decisions.
