Official Press Release of the Allanean Arms Corporation

Allanea.

Some people call it a nation of gun nuts.

Some people call it land of the free and home of the brave.

It's all in the perspective.

But there's one thing that's not in the perspective. Allaneans know everything about guns.

We are the nation that holds so far 16 Olympic medals in the shooting sports. We have rifle marskmanship as a school subject.

Allanean Arms is now planning to capitalize on these achievements of our nation by creating a new service.

Welcome the future.

Welcome

FREEDOM FIREARMS

Freedom Firearms is an international change of gun stores. We will sell any weapons that are legal in your nation, to you. Any of our stores will have a computer uplink to the Allanean Arms mainframe, enabling you to order anything on our product catalogue – guns, accessories, whatever. You can also order from this catalogue directly via www.freedomfirearms.co.all

This is not all. Freedom Firearms will also sell books, DVDs, and computer games related to guns and shooting in any of our stores. We will (in some branches) offer maintenance on your guns and equipment, and other, localized services.

We ask you to do one thing and one thing only – go out and buy our stuff!

Freedom Firearms – Because the Right to Buy Weapons is the Right to Be Free

FREEDOM FIREARMS WILL COMPLY WITH ALL LOCAL LAWS PERTAINING TO THE SALE AND RENT OF FIREARMS AND WEAPONS, AND ALL OTHER LOCAL LEGISLATION. ATTEMPTS TO ORDER FIREARMS NOT LEGAL IN YOUR NATION WILL NOT BE ACTED UPON BY FREEDOM FIREARMS, LTD

OOC:

Here's how this works.

It is is pointless to post in this thread with an OOC complaint about how your nation bans guns and mine should, too. We're not going to convince each other, so let's save each other both the trouble. IC posts criticizing my evil gun culture are most welcome however.

If you WANT Freedom Firearms stores, please post here, and it would be preferable if I knew what weapons are legal in your nation. Also it'd be nice if you posted the amount of stores I'm initially allowed to open.

Freedom Firearms WILL NOT violate your nation's local laws, sell to known terrorist organisations, and do equally silly thing.. This will not HAPPEN. Respectable gun companies do NOT do this, and I will not accept RP suggestions based on these ideas.

The Holy Confederacy of New Aeson would be happy to have Freedom Firearms open stores throughout New Aeson. There are no firearm control laws, and citizens are encouraged to keep their own weapons in case of invasion, even recieving a tax break for doing so.

OOC: You used my name :D

IC:

Sign us up for 10,000 stores.

Invitations accepted, branches scheduled for opening.

The Grand Republic will take 5,000 stores.

Grant of Trade by the Ministry of Finance

On behalf of His Most Eminent Majestic Highness Tsar Alexei Alexandrovich Caesar Agustus Andropov XIV, Fedei Defensor, Par la Grâce de Dieu, I hereby grant Freedom Firearms liscence to open in Derscon and sell any weaponry you choose. There are no firearms restrictions in Derscon, save those forbidding convicted felons from purchacing weaponry.

Also, the various militias in Derscon are legal and not terrorist organizations. If one comes requesting a bulk order, you may require proof of identification and proof that the arms are going to the militias. If any questions arise, you may contact the Kremlin to ensure the legality of the militia.

Minister of Finance
The Divine Prussian Empire of Derscon



OOC: Um...10,001 stores, for now.

The Democratic Empire would love to host 7,000 stores in our nation. Gun control laws are lax, but laws reguarding the sale of firearms are as follows:

-All handguns and assault weapons require proper identification and a permit granted by the Imperial government, along with a routine background check.
-Long rifles and shotguns require positive identification and a routine background check. No permit is required.
-The legal age to buy a firearm is 16, assuming there is an adult accompanying the customer. 18 is the legal age to buy without a parent/guardian's consent.
-Ammunition also requires identification and, if a minor above the age of 16, a parent/guardian.
-All imported civilian weapons are given a serial number by the Imperial government, in addition to a manufacturer's serial number. (if any) The serial number is located in a microchip embedded either in the stock of a rifle or the grip of a handgun. This is merely to assist police in making it easier to track down criminals incase the manufacturer's serial number has been scratched out or defaced, and to prevent theft of the firearm.

Otagia would welcome branches of your company in our nation. Current estimates place the market's capacity at roughly 10,000 stores, scattered across the nation. Besides laws preventing the sale of weapons to unescorted minors and felons, there are no restrictions on sales. In additon, Pale Rider Arms is interested in selling weapons through your stores. If you are interested, a full selection of PRA firearms will be made available to you at standard wholesale prices.

Yours,
Daniel Quetzal
CEO of Pale Rider Arms
Regent-Elect of Otagia

The Republic of Aralonia's Commercial Advisor, Alexandra Bryant, has approved the opening of fifty-six branches across Aralonia, one for each of the cities in Aralonia. We will recommend these locations to be near several hunting grounds in Aralonia, where sand crabs roam somewhat free. That is, before they are met with a 7.62mmx45 bullet in their cranial area.

West Corinthia is willing to host up to, but not exceeding, 5,000 Freedom Firearms store locations. Your main competition will be the army bases located all over the country, which sell surplus firearms to citizens.

Here are the laws of gun ownership in West Corinthia:
-You must be at least 14 years old to buy a handgun
-You must be at least 16 years old to buy a rifle or assault weapon
-Machine guns, sniper rifles, and grenades may only be privately owned by certified military veterans
-Firearms must pass a strict inspection before being sold, to ensure quality of the product
-Serial numbers must be recorded
-The West Corinthian military uses a standard round, the 7.62 x 51mm Corinthian. Since most civilians acquire their weapons from the military, that is the caliber they most frequently use. These rounds may only be acquired from the West Corinthian government, though you may sell whatever ammunition you want.

OOC: Just a heads up, the link to your catalogue appears to be broken.

OOC: I'm guessing it's not meant to be real. See how it's "co.all?" .all is probably for his country, and therefore it would not be a real site.

The Armed Republic of Neo-Erusea wishes for Freedom Firearms to open its stores within our glorious country. However, as a precaution to your store name, spreading democratic propaganda within the Armed Republic will result in the destruction of all stores by the Republican Guard. However we don't believe that this will be a problem.

David Mondol,
Premier of Neo-Erusea

You are more than welcome to open up as many stores as you can in the Armed Republic, provided you stock ample replacement parts and provide gunsmithing for the nation's civilain defence force's m16a4's, as well as shooting ranges for the aforementioned rifles.

Official Statement of Freedom Firearms

We are happy to provide service to people around the globe, and we are happy to notify the general public that we now carry a range of Pale Rider Arms products in addition to the ordinary firearms products that we already carry – from Tactical Infantry Weapons, Doomingsland Defense Industries, Silver Sky National Armaments, and of course Allanean Arms.

We are also happy to announce the opening of new Freedom Firearms branches in Otagia, Cravan, West Corinthia, Derscon, Skinny, Neo Erusea, Mer des Ennuis, and Aralonia.

'tis all for now, and remember – The Right To Buy Weapons is the Right to Be Free.

imperial isa well let you have one store on the inland of stone as its not in the war zone

Imperial Isa's store is now open.

(OOC: I'm too bored to make an official statement, but you can open up as many stores as you like, so long as you carry weapons from Armalite Solutions Limited and the Southport Long Arms Company.)

The Dominion of Nechronia would be verry happy to have you open stors in our Contry.
You may open as many stores as you see fit. The Law regarding fire arms in Nechronia are as fallows, the legal age to purchase a firearm is 16 years of age. Firearms may be given as gifts to those under 16 years of age. A sale must include a background check as convicted felons are not permitted to own a firearm. All weapons are legal to own with exception to weapons of a nuclear or biological nature. We hope to see Freedom Firearms in our cuntry soon.

Commissar Joseph N. Gorkovich- Ministry of Commerce
On behalf of Prime Minister Marko Ramius and The Dominion of Nechronia

We are happy to report our chain has now expanded to Velkya and Nechronia.

posession of firearms is illegal in Swilatia, so I don't think your store will be able to exist there.

Subject: Opening of branches in Asgarnieu

Greetings. We at the Department of Commerce and Trade formally invite Freedom Firearms to open stores in major cities throughout Asgarnieu.

We also request that Freedom Firearms opens a regional headquarters in our capital city, Balkan City.

It is believed that Freedom Firearms will do well in our nation, due to the number of registered firearm owners in the nation.

Thank you for considering our offer. We dearly hope that your company will take interest in our prime area. Thank you again.

Respectfully,

The Britannic Commonwealth of Eurasia welcomes the opening of six thousand Freedom Firearms locations in our nation.

Full-Page ads?

The Aunesian Telegraph would like to offer you the oppurtunity to advertise your new outlets in the Federation of Aunesia, by placing a full-page advertisement in all editions published in the next week, all for the small fee of $5,000,000.

Would this be of interest to you? Other advertising oppurtunities may be availible upon discussion.

The Democratic Constitutional Monarchy welcomes a test of 50,000 branches into our country.

Our country has a concealed weapons law, and as such it is estimated that there are eight guns for every one citizen in our country, so the market is certainly there. We believe the number of branches shall grow by three times the test amount in the coming years.

Official response to the Aunesian Telegraph

We will gladly begin this advertising campaign.

Official Announcement to Allanean Arms Shareholders

In the meanwhile, Freedom Firearms continues to grow. In Agarnieu, a test run of 1,000 stores has been opened, and a Regional Headquarters office of Freedom Firearms as well. Six thousand locations are now open in British Londinium, and a ‘test run’ of fifty thousand locations had opened in Maraque.

Together, this gives us 57,000 new stores – nearly doubling our previous numbers.

Sapinian Arms Corporation

Sapinian Arms (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=522705) would be willing to allow Freedom Firearms to sell licensed civilian firearms in your stores. Pending this agreement, 50% of profits will go to Freedom Firearms while 50% will go to Sapinian Arms. We ask, however, that Freedom Firearms only sell civilian-grade firearms no matter which laws are enacted in the local are in which the firearms are being sold. Sapinian Arms holds the sole rights to selling our military-grade firearms, and as such is not willing to sell them to the general populace in anything but a Sapinian outlet. The exceptions, of course, are any firearms listed under both military and civilian.

We hope you will consider our offer, and we thank you for your time!

Signed,

Allanean Arms Response

We welcome our new Sapinian Arms wholesaler. They'd be pleased to know that there's 3500 new stores in Calizonistan for them to sell their gear in.

The nation of TWP is interested in allowing tariff free stores here in the nation, as most of our markets are domestically owned with domestically made products. Therefore, we would be happy to extend a welcome to your corporation and allow 72 branches to be opened throughout the nation. Competition will merely be the various military surplus stores and privately owned shops. Gun control laws are as follows:

-FMJ, HP, JHP, less-than-lethal, and all shotgun ammunition is unrestricted and may be freely sold, however all other varieties are only purchasable by military and law enforcement personnel.
-Pistols, revolvers and other handguns are freely purchasable by those with a Class D license or better. If the store has a shooting range that meets govt. standards, you can have them qualify based on the correct procedures for this license as long as the license is reported to the within one week of issuing. Reporting is the individual store's responsibility.
-Semi-automatic and bolt-action rifles of any configuration and look are freely purchasable by those with a Class C license or better. Again, qualification laws are same as above for handgun.
-Automatic rifles and sub-machine guns of any configuration are freely purchasable to those with a Class B license or better. Such a license can only be obtained through a govt. facility, so you need not worry about issuing these.
-Machine guns are available to any with a Class A license.
-Grenade launchers of all kinds are only purchasable by military personnel.
-Grenades of all kinds are only purchasable my military personnel.
-All serials are to be recorded on the purchaser's license.

Official Allanean Arms Response


We will make haste and open these branches. As usual, we will abide by all your laws.

The Queendom of WolfboyPerrin has no restrictions on guns or gun ownership. We ask that you do not sell to minors, or non-WolfboyPerrin citizens within our borders. Please let us know if there is any governmental support that we could offer you.

Her Royal Majesty, Kathryn

The Armed Republic of Aurum Domus would like to open 1,000 branches. There are no restrictions on weaposn in our nation because there is a mandatory 3 year enlistment in the armed forces out of high school and children are trained from a young age on respecting and properly using weapons. Statistics show that this actually decreases violence, we've never had a school shooting in our entire history.

We would also like to inquire whether you would like to sell weapons made by Auron Military Industries (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=522153), our countrys main small arms manufacturer.

We would like 1,000 branches. However, Tariffs and Taxes will be placed upon you and you will have to pay for your own stores. We really do hope this is exceptable.

OOC: If you have a bit for this on your site, I'll just check that out if I need to quote anything at AP's trade conference rather than confirmation-spamming the thread again.;) Thanks!

As before with the CBBC and Golden Bunny chains, Freedom Firearms may open as many branches in Wagdog as it believes the local market will support. This should be fairly extensive, since all able-bodied persons at least do two years' training service in our various Red Guard reservist forces (Red Guard proper, Red Guard Air Patrol, or Red Banner Coast Guard); before deciding whether or not continued Guard or Regular service suits them more than simply mustering out into the inactive reserves as civilians again.
Although there are no restrictions on what weapons you may sell, Western weapons being only somewhat less common in private use than Soviet-bloc or (related) Czechalrussian gear, ability to service the latter will be a bonus; since those last two (soon to be more the latter) are the standards for our forces, and your corporation might just be able to help our citizens discharge their duties. For a reasonable profit on your part of course, which there is nothing wrong with at all. Our apologies Secretary Longtail couldn't make this offer personally, but her current activities at the Free Trade Conference in Ptolemais prevented this.

Sincerest Thanks,
-USSW Commerce Department
