Autos openly sold?

[.45acp]

Vagrant,

I checked with some the cops I shoot with and work with me. They don't use the "black arms" terminology only “white arms”. Who knows, it could be a regional term also.
But autos are defiantly legal here…..and that is a good thing!

"Who knows, it could be a regional term also. "
Very likely Brazil is huge almost as big as the continental U.S.

[J-man]

Land mass of Brazil:

total: 8,511,965 sq km
land: 8,456,510 sq km
note: includes Arquipelago de Fernando de Noronha, Atol das Rocas, Ilha da Trindade, Ilhas Martin Vaz, and Penedos de Sao Pedro e Sao Paulo
water: 55,455 sq km

Land mass of the US:

total: 9,629,091 sq km
land: 9,158,960 sq km
water: 470,131 sq km
note: includes only the 50 states and District of Columbia

and NO, I'm not converting it to imperial.

You mean to tell us the Brazillian society hasn't broken out into black-leather jacket-wearing anarchy? Singing, "When you're a Jet you're a Jet all the way... from your first livin' breath to your last dyin' day..."?

That's what's happened at MY house. We just play that hi-hat: ts-ts-tssss ts-ts-tsss ts-ts-tssss over and over on the sound system and lurch around in that long-legged "keep on truckin'" Broadway style dance step while plotting how to steal little ladies' purses for more smackaroo.

It all started with the switchblade. We were Ozzie and Harriet before these devices of eeee-viel came in. No WONDER they're illegal here in the US of A.

Man I need to move!.... Arizona or maybe Utah, You can have autos and you don't need a damn helmet to ride!

[Pushbutton]

Mega Dave allways remember one important thing You can have auto's anywhere in this country you want and not a soul will ever know except you. I am so sick and tired about auto this and auto that everyone writes can this state sell them. Can I carry in this state, How come I can have them in this state but can't carry them Blah Blah BLah. Just think of it as being illegal and thats it. As long as you don't have a bull horn or anyone here for that matter yelling out "I HAVE AN AUTO IN MY POCKET" then nobody on the face of the earth will know, Except maybe Superman cause he has xray vision. If you think your going to be hassled by the law and caught with one then your problem isn't auto's it's why are the cops bothering you! What kind of attention are you drawing to your self? How are you dressed ?How do you conduct yourself in public? What the phuck are you doing in a situation where the cops are gonna search you!I'm not picking on you this response is for everyone who constantly asks these phucking questions about legality over and over and over again. I have carried one for over 30 years and not once was I ever stopped and hassled. So all you people that are so worried take a look at yourselves and see what you are doing to grab this type of attention. Remember MUM's the word. An old Hells Angel saying is 3 people can keep a secret as long as 2 are dead.

According to my friends it pretty much is in anarchy, but that doesn't seem to stop it. It has everything it needs to be a "power" except real organisation.

Brazil has several ingrained cultural problems that that every Brazilian is concerned and aware of, but as a country refuse to address and rectify. One huge issue is political corruption; the current estimate is that 30% or more of the taxes collected are stolen thru outright graft. One senator has been reelected after being convicted of embezzling millions of Reals. Roadway projects are a favorite, contracts are let to a politicians friend, and the politician gets a huge kick back. The road gets 2” of asphalt instead of 5” and is 30 miles short of finishing when the contractor announces he is out of money to complete the project.
Nevertheless, the most telling problem in Brazil is the outright refusal to take responsibility for ones actions. No one is accountable, all decisions are made by committee, that way no one person takes the blame for a failure to manage anything. Personal responsibility is not taught in school, in fact just the opposite, this is throughout the Brazilian lifestyle. Crime is absolutely rampant; the police are poorly paid, and quite often found to be the criminals. Drug trafficking, robbery, carjacking, home invasions, and murder are the national past time.

I could go on for days regarding Brazil, I enjoy the country and people but, as a whole, this is a very screwed up place.

[Vagrant]

That's about the impression I got. A huge country with lots of resources, but the only thing that works is graft and corruption. The people are great but they accept the way things are, so change is not likely.

.45acp,

Sounds great down there! Can't wait to pack my bags! Do they allow Californians in? Do they allow 'em back out?

Yea man, even from Cal you can get in and out.

One thing I have always enjoyed about Brazil is the beachs and nightlife. It is great, sometimes living here has its drawbacks though. In 6 months or so when I´m done with this assignment I´ll post some of the adventures and conditions I lived under here.

Shakespere said "the law is a ass and a idiot" I agree.
[He also said "lets kill all the lawyers".]
The law no longer protect us we need protection from it.
