Texan coming to Geneva Suisse - Any gun related must see sights?
3/6/2008 12:07:21 AM
Bonjour (Howdy) Europe crew.
I have a business trip to Geneva next week (10/03/08), was wondering if you could help a Texan locate what gun related sights exist in or around Geneva.
Are there any gun shops or shooting clubs in the City that a Texan could visit?
Beyond gun related items, what other things should I plan to do with the limited free time I have after business meeting is finished (Friday and Saturday are open).
Merci Thank you for your assistance.

Howdy !!! 
I read the message from Max on Feu-Libre !
My name is Patrick, 27, and I am in Geneva... And guess what ??? I have a reasonnable number of guns, including one AR (M4) if you are looking for that precisely !
I could have you visit some gunshops, and we could go shooting something if you are willing to..
But, I still don't know if my usual shooting range will be open.. What day do you plan to have free time exactly, and what kind of shooting would you like to do ?
I know for sure that we can shoot indoor (up to 25m) in 2 places ... as for outside shooting, as i told you, I am not sure yet.. it will depend on our shooting range. But if it would be open, we can have fun at 25, 50 or 300m... I could have you try our old K31, or maybe our new Fass90 (SIG550) military guns... but also "american things" , from the Venerable Colt Walker to the M4, through 1911's and M1 Garand... (I won't make the list of all posibilities here and now, but in PM, why not !
Just PM me your email, or MSN and we can work this out ! Maybe I can also bring other people with us.. we are at least 10 here in Geneva from FeuLibre (Free to Fire) ! and all ages, from 22 up to nearly 60 , and they also have a reasonable amout of guns...
It's up to you now ! (ps: if you are blonde, 170cm high, with average cute breast, it would be great..! if not... well, life's a motherfucker...

Woohoo that sounds like a good time.
The dream rifle over here is the Sig 550, so few were imported before our 1989 import ban. When and if they come up for sale over here it is for $9K or more.
The Swiss guns have a mythic aspect to them for many of us here. It would be nice to visit with your crew.
Thanks

I was reading a university prospectus, one of the Unis I'm looking at has four-week program in Geneva over the summer. Hopefully, I can locate a kindly Swiss shooter to let me shoot your guns.

I had a great time, Shung was a great host and shooting on his local range was a real treat. That Swiss range was something else, very high tech!! Loved it.
Hope to go back again.

And allow me to introduce myself as well. I'm in the Sunshine State (Florida), down in the S.E. portion of the State, not too far from Miami.
If any of you European guys are down this way, by all means, let me know.
I'd love to get together and meet some of you...so please get in touch. The hospitality you've shown here is truly appreciated and I'd be happy to do the same if you visit the States.

My younger sister is out there at the moment.. But I am not crazy enough to send her to crazy gun owners ;)
For the pictures, I have some, but they are Hkag property. We should ask him to post them if we want to see them.

Moot point since I'm in England at the moment.
However, I still have to ask.
Is she single?
8/14/2008 4:46:12 AM
She's not
and anyway she's at the moment in Oregon, so you'll have to run ;)

You could take a trip up to Oberndorf and check out the HK factory. I think they still give tours.
There is a good waffen museum there also.
8/24/2008 11:27:19 PM
St Pierre and the Reformation Museum. That is if religion and history at all interest you.

But more importantly I got to shoot Shung's STG90 and a Sig P210 and a STG57. So sweet!! And that Swiss range was a work of art, very cool.
Thanks again Shung!!
