GUN SAFETY SECTION

As a Belgium / Dutch Reenactment Group we have to obey the law
concerning all kinds of weapons in both countries!

The Dutch law forbids all kinds of replica Pistols and Long Guns.
Black powder guns are only allowed with consent as a member of a reenactment group.
The Belgium laws still allows the possessing of replica pistols and long guns, but not in public.
Always contact the organization you want to visit about their rules relating to weapons.

Every member will be held responsible for his weapon!
The Union can't be held accountable for any problem with the law in relation to the weapon
a member is wearing, transporting or posses!

AZTR-USA: "You generally don't get a second chance when it comes to guns"

Fact:
"Five beans in the wheel"
As a safety practice, many Old West gunmen loaded five cartridges
"beans" in their six-shot revolvers so they could leave
the pistol hammer resting on an empty cylinder chamber,
a precaution designed to prevent the gun
from discharging accidentally
