They can own a Fal but yet I cannot
Well if you want to rob an armoury...
hate to troll but alot of afghani citizen got to keep their AK's after the soviets were kicked out & even during the first civil war that got the taliban into power. Even now, NATO troops in Afghanistan are still having huge issues trying to disarm afghani citizens.
My argument is: Libyan citizen are most likely gonna keep their FALs.
I have tried 3 captions and all would've got me in trouble, so I'll just leav'er B.
Gaddafi has distributed most if not all of the small arms to "loyal citizens" in anticipation of US ground forces invading in support of the "rebellion" (which was announced last week by Obama). Since his ethnic/tribal group also happens to be the overwhelming majority of Libyans, essentially he has armed the majority of the citizens of his country with what appears to be the bulk if not all of the small arms war stocks.
The Rebels are representative of a relatively small ethnic group within the country and they have raided their local armories as well as taken weapons from NATO allies.
My guess is that you would see some of everything in the field there.

Allowed perhaps not, but in a lawless country like that who is really going to enforce it? Put yourself in their shoes, would you not want to have a weapon to protect yourself and your family? I would keep the FAL and perhaps that rocket pod on my truck.

Hmmmm....I was looking at those pics thinking that the FALs seem to be in pretty good shape, unlike what typically happens to kit once it's been in the hands of squaddies for a few decades.
