What Finland law differences would you want in your area?
- eesmith 8y agoHow is your question much different than "what are the gun laws in Finland"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Finland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Finland > no types of firearms are outright banned, and in principle a person can apply for a licence for any type of gun (Though some weapons like machine guns and rocket launchers are 'specially dangerous' and 'can only be granted on a very limited basis and are essentially for recognized collectors and filming purposes only'.) > A license is always needed for possession of a firearm and all firearms are registered. Firearms may only be carried while they are being used for a specific purpose (e.g. hunting, shooting at the range). When transporting a firearm to or from such activity, the firearm must be unloaded and stored in a case or pouch. The owner of a firearm is responsible for making sure that firearms and ammunition do not end up in unauthorized hands. > The application process includes a check of criminal records, the police interviewing the applicant and in some cases a computer-based personality test or a medical health certificate. Any significant history with violence or other crime, substance abuse or mental health issues will cause the application to be rejected. > Carrying a firearm licensed for hunting or sporting use outside of that specific activity is not allowed. Those are all differences from, I believe, anywhere in the US. And for all of the ones I listed I say, "yes, please!"
