Don't stereotype. The world is far more nuanced than that.
You're allowed to own and transport firearms, with various levels of restriction, in every European country. Farmers and security personnel are the obvious examples here.
Some European countries are far more permissive than that, of course. The Czech Republic, for instance, recognises a constitutional right to self-defence and defence of others with a firearm, and has a very liberal licensing regime for gun ownership and concealed carry of guns for the purpose of self defence. Some Czech courthouses have safe deposit boxes where you can store your guns upon entering.
- Maxburn 4y agoExactly, that's the whole point I'm pushing here. We are just looking for legal loopholes to get this special baggage treatment. I think legally you would have more success across the world with a long gun (rifle or shotgun). BUT that's a bigger item that's a PITA to pack. So the loophole here is you only need to transport the piece that has the serial number on it because that is legally the "gun" part. So for example the lower receiver of an AR with nothing attached to it is smaller than most pistols but that's the part that is considered a "rifle" to exercise this loophole.
