Quote:
All laws are valid on French territory, overseas territories also included. There are still some nowadays.
In 1939 the new gun law also applied to the colonies. One read clearly at the end of the legislation that this must also be notified to the colonial ministry.
I wondered also if these laws related to the Algerian conflict and later betrayal of French Algerian based citizens by the De Gaulle govt. The OAS, French Foreign Legion revolts etc.
Was the ban on military cartridge chambered rifles in force in Algeria on French citizens, when the rebel forces were fighting France?
