I recently blogged about the attitude expressed by Mainland Chinese towards gun ownership. I was pleased to learn that Hong Kong has a number of gun clubs. They can apparently own semi-automatic pistols, rifles and shotguns.

Pistol shooting at the Hong Kong Rifle Association

One of their clubs, The Swiss Rifle Association Hong Kong ,was originally started by visiting Swiss Army officers and their British counterparts. They shoot Swiss-style competitions with Swiss military firearms and crossbows.

It is bizarre when you consider that the region now has more liberal gun ownership (pistols, semi-auto full power rifles) than the UK, its former overlord, despite being part of communist China.
