Arms & Ammunition Shop....Villagio
By mark_andrews •
This is something quite outrageous guys. An arms and ammunition shop will soon open in villagio or at least that's what i can see from the works going on there. but really, this is the last thing you'd want to see in this part of the world don't you think? just imagine all those crazy & hot-tempered drivers with guns suddenly got the urge to pull the trigger, what do you think will happen?! i know owning and possessing guns are legal in some countries but here in Qatar i don't think it's such a nice idea. what do you think?
HIC! Yippee, Yippeee, its GORDONS gin for me!
WINNER Gordons Gin Personal Consumption Award 2008 Hic!
What, no 'hic'? Out of gin already?

I have to agree with eu. While I do own a number of firearms in my home country, the fact is the crime rate involving weapons back home is rediculously high. When is the last time a bank got robbed in Qatar? Any drive by shootings? I think Qatar is better off without the average resident walking around armed.

It was closed a day after opening okay. I thought it was a coffee shop!
DaddyDK,
I dont like at all the idea of weapons around.
I came from a country were they are very restricted and honestly I feel safe in the streets. Fire weapon crime is very very rare.
Weapons to defend yourself from Government? Government is people like you and me. They are not evil, not angels. They have a duty, a big one, but that's all.
Government doing their best because they feel threat from governed? Thats crazy.
We trust them, we vote them. They believe in what they are doing and they do their best to serve because it is their mission.
We dont trust them? we dont vote them. Next in queue, please.
We dont trust anybody? We put ourselves in the queue, we are eligible.
War looking for peace,
is like fornication looking for virginity.
In actuality firearms are not evil. It is the people who misuse them who give the rest of us who are obedient to the law a bad rap. I personally have a collection of firearms in the States that I enjoy a great deal for hunting and sport shooting. I am proficient in the use of all of them and am more than qualified to use a firearm in self defense. I have never (thank God) had to raise a gun in self defense, which means I have never drawn on anyone in my life. I hope I never have to.
With reference to the Second Amendment, there is a great deal of misunderstanding on the topic. The Founding Fathers of the United States believed that keeping and bearing arms was the obligation of all people as there was no such thing as a "national guard" then. The "well regulated militia" was the able-bodied person who kept himself in training with his own firearm who then served with others like him in the defense of country when needed. It is common knowledge that Americans in that time owned weapons for defense of country, hunting and personal protection.
America's Founding Fathers also believed that it was essential for the citizens to own firearms as a check against government power. In fact, the Founding Fathers insisted on the Second Amendment for the simple reason that the lack of it made people subjects to an authoritarian government as had been the case with the English crown.
Those of you who oppose firearm ownership by anyone but the government place a great deal of trust in government to not violate that trust. Personally I don't trust government as it all too often serves itself rather than those it governs. How can government be by the consent of the governed if the governed represent no threat to governmental authority when they become overzealous?
I want some WMD's and a squirt gun too.
After having a rifle pointed at me along dukhan road by one of those "I OWN THE ROAD" people the other day, the idea of having a gun shop in Qatar scares the hell out of me....driving does at the moment to be honest, especially knowing that if he decided to pull the trigger he would most probably have gotten away with it.
Seems I'm rather late to this discussion, however, I'll add my two cents: If all citizens were armed, there would be VERY little crime. In Texas, one town mandated that ALL citizens own at least one firearm.. and guess what? Crime fell to zero! It's like nuclear weapons on a smaller scale, ie; a deterrent to those who want to cause you harm. Most countries with strict prohibitions on firearms have high crime rates, such as Columbia. In the UK, when someone wants to massacre a number of citizens, even the Police can't stop them since they have no guns as well. A psycho will find ways to kill no matter how they do it, so as the saying goes: "Guns don't kill, people do" is as true as ever. Here in the Desert Southwest of the US, guns are part of life.. everyone has them, and many open carry their handguns all the time. Gun violence here is very low, so it's not the fact that gun shops exist, it's WHO is allowed to buy them.
Merry can.. I hear ya! ;)
LOL becareful about throwing down when they like to fight dirty and gang up on a brother though!
Thank God for Islam calming our nerves and giving us some sense!

more then 80% Qatari OWN GUNS ALREADY ...
every badu camel head Qatari i know OWNS a Gun ..
heard the news where one Qatari fired shots at another Qatar ?? ( well at this car but u get the point ) ..

It's mistake, SORRY.
are everywhere....
I get the feeling Oleg is using an internet translation program.... If your penis was sufficient for you... you wouldn't need sex toys, right Oleg?
They call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to see it... --George Carlin
I speak about an intim toys, but not about the weapon. Silicon still nobody has been killed by a penis. More precisely, I about it did not hear...
PH I agree with you 100% the wanksters in the UK are nothing but a bunch of rag tag wannabe Americans...
I punk them for fun... I love to antagonize them... Especially the ones that are supposed to be Muslim...
As for America, dealing with the people you refer to I prefer to be on equal footing with them. Where I am from in the States you cannot conceal.
I always found it reassuring growing up seeing men and woman in line at the bank or the Burger King with a pistol strapped to their side.... The same as I find it hilarious that normal cops in England do not carry firearms... If I have to call the cops in England to stop a crime what the hell are they gonna do when they show up...?
The same damn thing I shoulda done.. throw down on a fool....
They call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to see it... --George Carlin
I find it odd that people who have lived, seen and heard gun fire in america are completely fine with carrying weapons.
Let me tell you I am scared shitless of gangsters in america. Can't even look at them the wrong way because they may pull a drive by while your eating at the local taco stand. And I grew up with gangsters my whole life!
In the uk, the little bands of kids who think their tough just make me laugh. What the hell are they gonna do besides bully people or gang up on them? Let me tell you as long as I carry a mobile I always felt safe backtalking these kids.
In america I wouldn't even look at them funny!

Also, to answer A Merry Can Muslim's point that I missed previously: I suspect that guns cannot fully be compared to other weapons per se (knives, chains, etc.) because I guess that firing a gun from a distance could somehow be removed from the reality of killing someone (as opposed to the close bodily contact required in using other weapons, apart from pepper spray). Just a thought.
adnan...follow that news story to see if the victim of the robberies gets charged with man slaughter or murder.....it usually happens
I may be blonde but I am wise
smile lots laugh more
Voyageress acutally you are right but see the other picture as well. I used to hear the local news while travelling to my office in Denver Colorado USA , i heard news one day that a person shot dead a robber while trying to break into his house and it was the fourth time that a robber came to his house in a year. Before that the robber was sucessful all the three times and deprived him of his belonging and money periodically. Police was not able to catch hin even then, so what was the solution?. He got the gun ultimately.
I think he took the right decision to shoot the robber the fouth time himself other there was no end to the problem.
I think this will be very dangerous for Qatar!

The majority of brits I have ever met think it is outrageous to carry and sell firearms.
Personally I have to agree with them!
Maryum : Umm Hasan bint Abdullah Alshabrawishi
I'm a Brit who's lived in the USA, as well as Australia, Canada, Europe, and Asia. I'll never forget the story of the man who shot in the dark at the "intruder" lurking by the gifts under the Christmas Tree .... he killed his own child. I guess it's a sad reality of the violent times we live in when everyone feels they need to be armed for their own safety.
A large proportion of the Brits I know wish they could.... I don't know about the Brits you have asked.
They call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to see it... --George Carlin
We can argue this till the cows come home..
Americans, in the majority believe in the right to carry or bear arms..
The Europeans in the majority don't, especially the Brits.
To each his own .. Let's agree to disagree..
Voyageress, I am very interested to know what type of firearms were being sold for $25. Are you sure they were not airguns or bb guns?
Even if that was the case and I tend to believe that it wasnt then it is not possible in MOST states for anyone to purchase a firearm.
In most states you need an FID card.
Yes, I agree with the statement of the official you quoted. It is too easy to aquire them on the black market. In fact no criminal would purchase a firearm legally. The barrel's 'fingerprints' are all logged and stored for verification against any casing found.
Does it really matter if the murders or attempted murders are attributed to guns as opposed to some other weapon? I prefer to have a firearm and not need it than to need it and not have it.
I do say that some states need to ENFORCE the laws that have already been legislated by state and federal governments though.
They call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to see it... --George Carlin
Hi there,
the shop was open for 2 days and then closed down by the municipality probably for the same reasons the guy that posted this had. There is still one in the souk but the space in Villaggio were it was will soon be something else.
A one positive aspect of arms pocession as allowed by the laws of a particular country is that at such places one can also probably hear a news that a peson killed the robber while breaking in into his house, but there are many more bad news linked to arms pocession as well.
No one can for sure says which is the correct trend, but surely advanced guns should be banned from public.
In the USA supermarkets I saw guns for sale for as little as $25. In a country that has NO guns on open display, I felt much safer (Canada, UK, for example).
60 Minutes asked expert Joe Vince, a former top official at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, if anyone, even a terrorist, could easily buy 50-caliber rifles.
"We are the candy store for guns in the world. And it's easy for people to acquire them here," says Vince, who adds that America is "absolutely" the best place for a terrorist to equip himself with guns.
Black market or legally bought, if guns are taboo then surely it stands to reason that there will be fewer deaths attributed to bullets.
Voyageress, Please quote to me the "lax gun laws" that you are talking about.
It is because of STRICT unconstitutional gun laws that these murders you speak about are increased....
Only the bad guys and the cops have guns.... Do you think that the guns criminals and gangsters use are bought legally or on the black market?
They call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to see it... --George Carlin
the ridiculousness of the overly lax gun laws. Almost every night in New Orleans I was awoken by gun shots, sometimes just a couple of blocks away from Uptown - one of the so-called classier areas. Next day, we'd read about someone murdered, sometimes gang-related, often innocent bystander. Most citizens didn't give a damn, it happened so often they were completely desensitized. My neighbour had several guns in his house - he was very proud to show off the photos of animals he'd shot in Africa, some of which are now nearing extinction. One Christmas he gave me a twig with a used cartridge tied to it and the label that said "Cartidge in a Bare Tree". He was very proud to be a killer. Even Nancy Reagan carried a gun in her handbag, naievely saying that it was just an itsy bitsy gun. Someone asked her if they'd be an "itsy bitsy" bit dead if she ever used it against them. Sorry, but I'm totally against civilians carrying guns. I've seen the damage they can do.
it's interesting that nobody proposed to close down the car shops. I think this year about 150 people were "murdered" by cars in Qatar.
Guns are usually banned based on the gun's caliber and type. If such a law is put into force then the no of cases involving the gun misuse are reduced.Public do not need assault weapons.
Weapons should be allowed to be sold to give the residents their right for self defence only. For this they dont need AK-47, M16 or G3 or even any other small caliber rifles but just a simple inferior weapon for protection like a revovler (small bore) or any other small bore pistol etc.
If the people are that much hot tempered that they want to kill each other on a minor dispute then they can do that even without a gun by hitting some one with some thing or stabbing. So this is a different trend that cannot be solely related to gun pocession.
Well any ways any where the misuse of any item cannot be stopped 100%.
The point is that criminals need not have guns to do their business. Simply, domestic tools are used for that purpose. So selling guns or banning it does not make much difference.
That's an interesting report, but I don't see how it relates to gun crime.
The sale of hunting knives is oddly restricted when it is usually kitchen knives that are used in such instances.
Are you thinking that if the guy had been armed he would of been able to defend himself? you have left none of your own comments or opinions.
A 52-year-old Gulf Arab businessman was stabbed to death in his Dubai flat by a young cleaner who planned the murder to steal from him, according to the Dubai police, UAE daily The National reported on Monday.
The victim, identified as A.A. from an undisclosed neighbouring Gulf state, was killed on Friday in a frenzied attack which police say left him with at least six stab wounds in parts of his body including the chest, shoulders and hip, the paper said.
The man, who was single, was a Dubai resident who had been living in the country for two years. He had been living in the flat in International City for the last six months, it added.
A 20-year-old Bangladeshi, identified as N.K.B, was working illegally for the victim as a house cleaner. N.K.B had met the victim just 15 days earlier, it said.
Police say the suspect committed a planned murder during his second visit to the victim’s flat in building 21 in International City.
Col Khalil Ibrahim Al-Mansouri, head of the crime unit at the criminal investigation department at Dubai Police, said that although the suspect worked legally at a grocery store near the victim's home, he took up an illegal job with the victim who asked him to work part-time.
"The suspect had planned to kill the victim whom he believed to be wealthy. He attacked him with a knife he obtained from the victim’s house and fatally stabbed him multiple times," the paper quoted Col Al-Mansouri as saying. "He then carried out an extensive search through the victim’s belongings in search for valuables but didn’t find anything."
Police say the suspect was also injured during the attack when the victim fought back in self-defence, which later helped police to catch the suspect.
"The investigation found that apart from the victim’s pool of blood found in the crime scene, there were traces of blood which belonged to someone else, which confirmed that the killer was injured during the confrontation," he said.
Dubai Police arrested the suspect 16 hours later in a flat near the crime scene, the paper said.
After the murder, the suspect cut open four suitcases then fled with a Gillette Mach 3 razor, a camera, an empty wallet and the kitchen knife used in the murder, the paper said.
According to the Dubai Police, there were 22 murders in Dubai in 2007. None were connected and all were committed using a knife, police say. Twelve of those murders were the result of alcohol-related feuds.
So far this year, 14 murders have been committed, including the high-profile murder of Lebanese singer Suzan Tamim who was murdered in her Dubai flat last month after a hired hitman slit her throat, the paper added.
===================================== http://www.qatarliving.com/node/58409
Using a gun to kill can be a heat of the moment thing. Saying that "guns don't kill people, people kill people" is trotted off by the American gun lobby all the time. If you have a gun under your pillow, or under your seat in the car you are more likely to reach for it and start pulling the trigger if someone upsets you.
The wording of the American amendment on rights to bear arms is always debated, in spirit it is to maintain and equip a trained milita for the protection of the country. Not to allow every untrained Tom, Dick or Harry to brandish one.
In the UK carrying a gun is pretty much illegal, especially a concealed handgun. There is not much problem with gun crime amongst the general population, just the criminal gangs that obtain guns on the black market.
Incidentally shooting a guy in the face as he runs towards you is self defence, shooting him in the back as he flees with your money and jewlery is murder.
Setting up shooting ranges in Qatar and only selling sports or hunting guns after a set course at the range would be a far safer way to go. There would be no heat of the moment purchases and the instructor would have some chance to asses how stable the participant is before issuing a license.
It's similar to training people in martial arts, a black belt in Karate etc is lethal, but he doesn't go round killing people, because he has been taught a deep respect for his art at the same time.
Teach people a respect for their weapon before you sell them one.
A BABY boy was fighting for life last night after he was accidentally shot in the head by his five-year-old sister.
Rashid Rullah, 18 months, was critically ill with a pellet from a .22 air rifle in his skull.
Little Rashid was shot after his dad put his air rifle down to answer the phone.
Rashid's older sister Asna Almas picked up the weapon and pulled the trigger as the youngsters played in their back garden.
Doctors last night described his condition as “critical but stable”. His parents were at his bedside.
Grandad Bakht, 48, said: “The children were playing with their father in the garden and he had been doing target practice with the gun.
“He had been cleaning it but put it down when his mobile phone rang and he went to answer it.
“Rashid’s sister picked it up and accidentally pulled the trigger. His sister is a very active child, it all happened so quickly. It was a terrible accident and we are hoping and praying he recovers. He is my life.”
I agree with you in this regard.
Brit expat Well the agent then wasted his time :-) he could have understood what is the difference of shooting first and hit the bulls eye and to have a bulls eye marked after shooting if he was a sage person.
Both were same i think :-) , he needed to be fired for this question.
not good lol...
The united states just never stopped selling weapons because deep down people love weapons, and the united states turns out to be the country with most deaths due to weapon, (ref: Micheal Moore, bowling for columbine[bad spelling??])
Legal arms are very dangerous and should definitely be eradicated from the face of earth... If you will allow thousands of people to die and be injured from guns, remove those speed cameras at least...
like someone always says in this forum, you cannot teach experience [all my apologies for stealing the line lol]
What if your kids comes up to you asks: 'So why is it allowed to have guns in one of the safest places in the world? qatar?'
Seriously, if you wanna sell guns for self protection to people living in dangerous conditions like an american ambassador in Iraq thats ok, but selling guns to people who are safe for self protection is a recipe for disaster, and mostly to feel unsafe around town
One of the best marksmen in the FBI was passing through a small town. Everywhere he saw evidences of the most amazing shooting. On trees, on walls, and on fences there were numerous bull's-eyes with the bullet hole in dead center. The FBI man asked one of the townsmen if he could meet the person responsible for this wonderful marksmanship. The man turned out to be the
village idiot.
"This is the best marksmanship I have ever seen." said theFBI man. "How in the world do you do it?"
"Nothing to it," said the idiot. "I shoot first and draw the circles afterward."
Abu american its good that you are that much aware of it so in self defence it is always better to know how the weapon operates.
I did a lot of practice with G3 which has a caliber of 7.62 mm on an army pratice shooting range in Pakistan, it takes a lot of time to adjust your target with recoil.I also used AK-47 (which i consider is the best) but G3 is very different and more accurate at long range.
The cops there in USA use maximum M4 rifle maximum ,not a weapon larger than that becasue they woont need it in 99% cases. If a robber comes out to pocess AK47 then they are in deep trouble.
Yes Brit expat is right but i dont want to go against women becasue i wrote somewhere in another forum as well it is better stay behind than contesting them :-).
a lot of people have guns here anyway.... that aren't registered...
i dont think a shop will make much difference.
Well it may come in Handy seeing some of the scum and riff raff coming intio this country recently. I mean I start gettting emails about being cautious with leaving your bag in the trollley at the supermarkets and even of Break ins at home and theft.I mean a few years back when i got here this oplace was really safe I mean.I had a friend who lost his travel ticket and QR 25000 while shooping for his vacation.Some one picked it up managed to find hind and brought all of it back intact. Those were the days.One would not dream of breakins and theft here a few years back.
I mean today I am getting emails of pickpockets and thiefs.
Make mine an AK 47 if this country come like the streets of the US where gangs kill each other over colours or drugs. In Britain you cannot even leave your mobile phone or laptop in your car without it being broken into.
is the crime rate that high?? i don't think sooo.....
I could be blind folded and hit you between your eyes with a paper clip at 800 yards. :P
--------
Alexa, did you leave your gun in KSA? Can I borrow it while I am there?
I could aim and hit you in the back of your head with a rubber band and paper clip at 200 yards.
This is Meaning, your cranium is huge, good for target practice.
LOL
I hear St. Patrick was an Englishman!"
Well, if all this is really true, then I should seriously start working towards my Leardership Certification Programs, I am sure there will be lots of openings in coming future for top management...
The wise person has long ears and a short tongue.
Don't worry people, when the Arms & Ammunition Shop inaugural day is set. There is going to be a long line of costumers, waiting outside, most of them will be Americans.
I hear St. Patrick was an Englishman!"
Why is it outrageous?
1) You have to have a permit
2) Getting a permit isn't that easy
3) Your gun is registered
4) They are meant for rifle shooting and not for protection.
5) You are not allowed to brandish a weapon while in a car
6) Ammunition isn't allowed to be left in a car.

i don`t think that .......
I remeber Bonanza and Rifleman..
Those were the days.
magic when i say wild wild west i mean robert conrad and his side kick gordon in the TV 70's series wild wild west.
never seen anything like it here, have you?
I think what adnan is saying that women are too weak to handle a weapon and should leave the shooting to the men..
nomad, ...just look around ...
nah no such thing as "Wild East".
Yes you may be right, it depends i was just joking and was wondering about the answer, but you do need body weight and power to fire some good rifles, it is not easy to adjust to recoil ( 7mm plus caliber rifles specially and pistols).
adnan...prohibited for a women.....what? a man can't do that either???
I may be blonde but I am wise
smile lots laugh more
yep, but it's gonna be the "Wild East" then.
guns for the labourers and bachelors...i want to witness wild wild west in the souqs and malls on fridays! bwahaha
Ok Alexa if its no problem then one more question, do you still keep the gun with you or not now.
It should be prohibited for the women to keep guns becasue they can easily kill the innocent person inspite of the real man they want to shoot.
Oh Ok. I was just asking a a question. Never mind.
Lol, janeyjaney easier to get to. Don't have to keep it under lock and key.
I use my hairspray to blind them to death.

Brit, hard for me to get a grip on it too. Not all Americans are gunlovers. I've never looked up the stats, but I think it's a safe bet that many more kids have been killed in accidental shootings than intruders have been killed.
Anyway, lots of Qataris are hunters and already own guns. I don't think shootings in traffic are going to be a problem in Qatar.
But to sell guns and ammo in a shopping mall? Ridiculous!
And to stay on topic, I heard that the shop opened and then closed?
Really, so you think that you are strong enough. Tell me the specs of that gun that you had with you.
Abu American i suggest that if some one has not gone though a regular shooting pratice then dont even try to shoot a robber at close range even. The thing is that these automatic pistols recoils out of proportion for very new users and rifles of high caliber like G3 recoils back with force for new users, one can surely (90% chance) miss the robber, but the robber who may be trained then can point his weapon to the shooter may kill him.
I have heard lot of incidents like this in the newspaper.
I think you must be aware of its usage as you are keeping it.
anybody wants to own a Gun is also beyond me.....
Its hard for use Europenas to get to grips with..
Something to do with rthe Second Ammendment..
Anyhoo, I agree with you 100%
You'd be amazed at the number of kids that get killed by gun accidents ..
The Gun Lobby will come out with the Mantra - People kill People, not Guns..
lol.. brit - Testosterone is related to these Guns??.. i thought its not .. ;)

it is said that: "The right to bear arms is only slightly more ludicrous than the right to arm bears." :-)
Yes it is a dangerous update. Many drivers here in land cruisers are very very impateint, after an incident with such a driver i stay cautious.
Even the hunting catridge is good enough to kill a person at short ranges. Dont know about if AK-47 or AK-72 s are sold there as well. About Ak-47, it is having a 7.62 mm catridge and about its latest version AK-72 has caliber of 5.45 mm. If only short guns are permitted based on caliber then AK-72 qualfies as a weapon to be purchased and it is more deadly in penetration if not in precision than some very famous rifles like (M16 used by many Nato countries ) in the world becasue of its catridge geometry.
This store was open a couple of weeks ago, because I went in and had a look. Now it looks to me like it has closed down.
Doesnt require in a country like Qatar which safe to live , no thugs, no armed robberies, no house breaks ..

Until now I used the wrench, now I'll get a BB Desert Eagle.

I have always been curious about this..
A guy enters your house.. You have to take the gun from its locked box, then open a second box with the ammo, then put the two together and then confront the person...
Does it make sense??
Go with the baseball bat..
The right to bear arms and all that..
Actually, I think the Americans misread it.. It is actually aimed at women and says "The right to bare arms"
guns don't kill people, rappers do....lalalalala
I would suggest a baseball bat... Much easier to swing..
is more dangerous than ammunition

There were similar shops in Saudi..
Mainly catering for the Hunting and Target Shooting fraternity.. Locals could buy weapons for personal protection. ALL had to have licenses through the MOI..
It will probably be the same here..
where and which souq???? can you give more details of that shop in souq?
