GLOBAL RESCUE

As to the "bow and arrow"-issues: Indeed, in Germany the bow is legally NOT regarded as a weapon, but as sports equipment. Although, on flights, it is a good idea to just go to the firearms department at the airport and declare your archery equipment as "dangerous goods". I did so prior...

Enter me! Would like to read that book!

I wish you two all the best... last year the luggage and airfield staff at Frankfurt were on strike for weeks and weeks on end... everybody was fed up with them in the end. And the Lufthansa employees had to suffer a lot of cuts in the recent times, so they might have some anger growing...

Ok, I'll have a try as well: Taken on my personal "slaughter day", when I first got that monkey, than less than an hour later the warthog. This doublet actually became a triplet, because only about half an hour after this pic I shot another impala female. What a day! I never thought Africa...

You're welcome! That would have been too much of a dream, I guess... Nope. Even I as a German citizen can't pay by credit card; they only accept "EC-cards" (euro-cheque, I don't know the correct term) in their card-readers. (maybe I should try to get issued with a speed ticket by the...

Brickburn, I have tried all FOUR phone numbers of the Frankfurt authorities several times for the last 3 days, and no one ever answered the phone... I'm sorry I don't seem to be able to help you :( So, let's see if they have objections or if you pass...

This new form is in fact not very different from the first one. in No.2 you should not forget to mark either "private Person" or "Waffenh舅dler", which means professiona weapons dealer. Nearly correct. With "sonst. Waffen" or "sonstige Waffen" they seem to refer to those categorie D...

welcome to Germany.... I just don't understand the difference between the first and the second form, since the first one mentioned "Verbringen von Feuerwaffen durch die Bundesrepublik Deutschland", meaning "transport of firearms THROUGH the Fed. Rep. of Germany" as well.... But, nevermind...

Enysse, You should live here and try to do your annual tax declaration to the local authorities... THAT is an adventure even more than the weapons issues...

Addition: I've read the German text once more, and I see that they don't differenciate between bolt and lever, so Category C will match, I would guess.

Hey Brickburn, I can't open the attachments since I am on my mobile right now, but I think I simply mixed up "lever action" and "bolt action" (in German: "Repetier-Waffe" like the K98 system or a Remington 700 and such). Unfortunately I am a beginner with firearms (bowhunting is so much...

lfd Nr., or "laufende Nummer" just means the item no. on a list (1./2./3. and so on) Now, "Kategorie" is a bit more complicated... apart from the weapons law there is a sort of guideline which categorizes weapons from A to D. I'll try to translate the descriptions, I hope to find the proper...
