The United States is the first and so far the only country in the world where citizens have universal gun rights, and in the United States, gun ownership has been enshrined in the Constitution as a civil right. Americans are accustomed to owning a gun for self-defense, and the United States currently has the most privately owned guns in the world, with an average of nine guns for every ten people not kidding.

In the United States, it is sometimes more cumbersome to formally apply for a gun license, which requires filling out an application form at the police station, submitting relevant documents, and providing letters of sponsorship from at least three U.S. citizens. In addition, it is necessary to check the fingerprints on file, be interviewed by the police, and then be reviewed by the FBI to confirm that there is indeed no criminal record and will not cause harm to society before obtaining a gun license.

But this is not the case at all in many places, such as Texas, which is one of the places where gun control in the United States is lax and chaotic.

In fact, it is relatively easy to buy a gun in the United States, and citizens over the age of 18 who have American citizenship or a green card can basically buy guns in various states; When buying a gun, you need to raise your identification and social security number. Sellers do a background check on the Internet to decide whether they can sell guns.

Wei Da has consulted some help from his personal lawyer Thomas in the past two days, and simply passed the information application from the police station, and of course, Wei Da has also done some preparatory homework.

For example, it is simple to buy a gun in Lao Mei, but every gun is registered, and once the gun is lost and causes an accident, then the gun owner also needs to be held responsible. For example, the separation of guns and people, the prohibition of carrying guns in public, the locking of guns, the ability to shoot at the shooting range, etc., are all things that Weida needs to understand now.

Weida drove to Fort Worth in one go, and although there were gun shops in the Abilene area, the products were not abundant enough; So Weida went to a larger city like Fort Worth, where he believed that the gun shops must be more varied.

This is a chain of outdoor goods supermarkets, in addition to tents, clothing, shoes and hats and other goods, the most eye-catching thing is of course these dazzling guns; The firearms on display here are nothing more than **, rifles, pistols, etc.

These guns are just randomly placed in the display case, within reach; Wei Da's goal this time is to take both long and short guns, in Lao Mei, this long gun is over eighteen years old, and the pistol cannot be less than twenty-one years old, and there is no criminal record. Obviously, Weida meets these requirements, although the guns are placed in the display case, but the guns are different from other commodities after all, and there are also special counters for sale here.

"Is there an M1911?" Wei Da casually strolled around and ran to the counter to ask the waiter.

"Whether you're buying a gun or shooting a target, if I need your license or identification to buy a gun, I don't want to get in trouble." The white and fat middle-aged man glanced at Wei Da, this is not racial discrimination, after all, Wei Da is a yellow race, and if he doesn't have a green card and nationality, he can't buy a gun.

"CALIBER 0.45 INCHES (11.43 MM), TOTAL LENGTH 219 MM, OF WHICH THE BARREL LENGTH IS 127.8 MM, TOTAL WEIGHT 1.13 KG, MAGAZINE SEVEN ROUNDS. The Colt M1911 has multiple insurances to avoid misfire, and it is also the first standard pistol to be equipped in the U.S. military. When he saw that Wei Da had a green card and enough proof, the salesman also took out a pistol and skillfully introduced.

Wei Da was of course playing with this pistol, although he felt the cold body of the gun, but Wei Da could also feel a little excited; It feels good, there are enough anti-slip lines, and it is also textured, and Wei Da likes this feeling.

"Man, you can go to the back range and try it, ninety dollars for a hundred bullets. I'm sure you'll fall in love with this cute little guy and you'll be able to take it with you in no time! "What the salesman said is true, although it takes some time to apply for a gun in the United States, but in Texas, since the documents are complete and there is no criminal record, as long as the gun is registered, it can be taken away immediately.

"I still need a spear, what do you recommend." Wei Da is holding the Colt in his hand, although he also has some plans of his own, but it is also good to listen to the opinions of these professionals.

"Have you ever had previous experience with a gun?" The clerk also asked me.

"Unfortunately, this is the first time I've bought a gun." Wei Da shrugged his shoulders regretfully, this was indeed the first time he played with guns, although he also went to read some books on guns before buying a gun, but it was indeed the first time he really used it.

"The Remington 700, this rifle is one of the safest guns, and it's perfect for a novice like you, and its recoil is quick for a novice like you." Wei Da patiently listened to the clerk's recommendation, which was basically the same as what old Simon and his cowboys said.

"Okay, give me a hundred rounds of ammunition, I'll try it later, both pistol and rifle bullets." Wei Da smiled and said to the clerk, generally speaking, there is a shooting range behind such a gun shop, and Wei Da naturally will not let go of such an opportunity to try the gun.

Walking into the shooting range at the back, as soon as I entered the shooting range, I heard the sound of gunfire coming from inside; Wei Da also learned to load ammunition, check guns, etc., wear ear protectors, and hold the M1911 flat under the guidance of a clerk, but it is a pity that Wei Da is a little enthusiastic, but his first shot is not on the target at all.

"It's a shame, but it's okay, I think I've found the trick." Weida shrugged, he still felt good; The recoil of the Colt M1911 is still relatively small, which is basically acceptable for a novice like Weida.

Several shots were fired in a row, listening to these crisp gunshots, and feeling the recoil brought by each shot; Wei Da's feeling is still very good, after continuously trying pistols including M9, P226 and so on, Wei Da still feels that M1911 is his best choice now. Anyway, I'm not bad for money now, and I have the opportunity to buy a gun again in the future.

"Beautiful!" Wei Da took the Remington 700 and aimed at it for a long time, but he didn't miss the target, but the distance of less than five meters can still ensure accuracy, "I think this gun is more suitable for me." ”

Wei Da felt very good, although the two guns cost him nearly five thousand dollars, and they also included a combination lock box for a lock gun and a total of five hundred rounds of ammunition for the two guns, but it was still worth the money for Wei Da; After locking the gun lock, it can be said that this purchase is full of fun.

"Where have you been all day, I've been here for a few days, and I see you've been loafing around all day." Seeing Wei Da driving back, his mother Huang Yue said with a smile; Although Wei Da is idle, she really wishes that her son would be more relaxed.

"I went to buy two guns and came back," Wei Da said with a smile, but seeing that his mother's face had changed, Wei Da hurriedly remedied, "It's normal to buy guns on Lao Mei's side, that is, those cowboys invited by our family all have guns." I buy a gun to protect myself while playing with myself, and these are still very necessary. ”

Although Huang Yue's face is not very good, after all, in China, guns and ammunition are really far away from ordinary people, and now looking at the gun her son carried, of course she was a little worried. But now she also understands that there is a big difference between Lao Mei and China, and it is normal to buy a gun here, and it is completely incompatible with illegal crimes, so she can be regarded as relieved.

"Good boy, is this a real gun?" Wei Hui still showed a certain curiosity about Wei Da's two guns, although he didn't dare to touch them himself, but he also looked at these two guns with great interest.

"Well, real guns. In a few days, I will build a small shooting range in the back to play by myself, the old United States here generally speaking, the gun can not be borrowed, the rest is easy to say, this gun can only be played in the shooting range, the next time my father comes over, I will take you to hunt, now I practice my own skills. Wei Da said with a smile, not noticing that his mother's face was a little ugly.

"How much does your gun cost? Also build a shooting range, your money is all flowing down, right, just buy a self-defense, it's not so much! "Huang Yue is very dissatisfied, spending money here is all dollars, and it is such a dangerous thing.

"Thousands of yuan, Mom, my son is a rich man now, you have to change your mentality. Money is earned, and your son now has the ability to make money, you can't let your son earn money every day, just hold on to the money and see if you don't need it. Wei Da joked with a smile, now he is also rich, and the choice of spending money is indeed unimaginable before.

Although Huang Yue still has some opinions, she does know that her son is capable now; Now young people have their own ideas, especially this is still the United States, follow Wei Da's opinion, anyway, I don't know much about this side.
