More than 100 feared dead

What is the concealed carry laws in France? Anyone know? Dan

Don't belittle the French people. If it weren't for the French you'd still be waving a British flag. They came to our aid in the Revolutionary War and we were glad to have them join in the fun. They provided us with men and arms. Their president has declared war without mercy on ISIS. Our president is twiddling his thumbs .

French citizens gun laws are not as bad as uk. They are allowed to own guns for home defense purposes. They have to buy their ammo at police station, and must be able to account where they used the previous batch of ammo, before they give another batch.

You have to remember that Islam declared war on Christianity in the 1700s. That verse in the Marine Hyme about Montezuma and the shores of Tripoli wasn't referring to the Presbyterians you know.

The French are a C-hair better than the Italians at fighting anything greater than a shadow, or providing real substantial relief to anyone troubled with more than a case of intestinal gas.

Yah Muggs they helped us, and where did it get them? Their own revolution.

Louis the Sixteenth was the King of France in 1789.
He was worse than Louis the Fifteenth.
He was worse than Louis the Fourteenth.
He was worse than Louis the Thirteenth.
He was the worst since Louis the First.
King Louis was living like a king, but the people were living rotten.
So the people, they started an uprising which they called the
French Revolution, and of course you remember their battle cry,
which will never be forgotten:

You went the wrong way, Old King Louie.
You made the population cry.
'Cause all you did was sit and pet
With Marie Antoinette
In your place at Versailles.

And now the country's gone kablooie.
So we are giving you the air.
That oughta teach you not to
Spend all your time fooling 'round
At the Folies Bergere.

If you had been a nicer king,
We wouldn't do a thing,
But you were bad, you must admit.
We're gonna take you and the Queen
Down to the guillotine,
And shorten you a little bit.

You came the wrong way, Old King Louie.
And now you ain't got far to go.
Too bad you won't be here to see
That great big Eiffel Tower,
Or Brigitte Bardot.

To you King Louie we say fooey.
You disappointed all of France.
But then what else could we expect
From a king in silk stockings
And pink satin pants?

They had their own O'Bummer it seems.

Back to the French being very slightly better than the Italians. Both are very brave when they have a friendly giant at their back. Both dropped their guns and ran like piss down a drainpipe when they turned around, like a kid on his first day at school, and realized their protector wasn't there any more. What made the French better, is they actually gave us the dignity of stealing their wine in both world wars. The Italians just drank theirs.

Don't forget Napoleon. He was a hard and successful fighter.

But look at us. Our troops still can kick ass, but the politicians won't let them.

Is it difficult to conceal-carry an AR15? I'd just about feel comfortable in public with one.

My 10.5" 5.56 Bulgy AK pistol is my Urban Apocalypse gun.
How people continue to believe "Gun Safe Zone" Shooting Galleries solve anything mystifies me.

And they say no one needs a 30-round magazine.

I guess I'll stick with my P95 and multiple 17 round mags, but I'm not very accurate with pistols beyond 20 yards or so.

OTOH, that gives me an excuse to hit the range for some 20-25 yard practice.

Don't forget Napoleon. He was a hard and successful fighter.
But look at us. Our troops still can kick ass, but the politicians won't let them.

Without the French, specifically Charles "the Hammer" Martel, there would be no Europe, no Western Civilization, no Britain, no America. The grandfather of Charlemagne, he led the Franks to beat the ISLAMIC hordes at the Battle of Tours. This stopped their conquest of the continent at the Pyrenees which allowed the development of Europe mostly free of Muslims until recently. We desperately need him again.

The French don't lack cojones, they are short on leadership - and have been since Napoleon. We are in the same boat at the moment.

Sounds like the French fared a little better than Americans did at the hands of homegrown American terrorists like McVeigh and James Eagan Holmes. Not sure why you guys want to throw the French under the bus after something like this happened to them.

Right after 9/11, the French newspaper La Monde had the headline, "Today, we are all Americans". I am embarrassed by some of the sentiments in this thread.
