It would probably be easier to move here to America, wait several years to become a citizen, THEN get into shooting.  But I admire you determination in the face of the enemy.  Welcome to your new home. ;D

P.S.  When the cops show up on our nightly domestic disturbance call, we never press charges.  Any misunderstandings take, at maximum, 12 hours to be resolved. ;)
