Just curious. For example, You are a Swiss citizen but live and work in France or Italy and want to shoot shotgun sports or Cowboy Action shooting. Are you allowed to buy/own firearms outside your own country? I'm sure it depends on the country, but are there any countries that allow other EU citizens to buy/own guns? |

Netherlands: You have to live in the country in some legal way. Nationality is not a criteria. Knew a Canadian shooter that lived here for a while. For EU travel you get a card for sports shooting/hunting BUT not for collectors. |

I supposed he has to be part of a club. |

Can't really comment on french gun laws @shung seems to know more about them. But if he lives in France he should be able to be treated like French/other EU citizens. I expect he would have to be a member of a shooting club for sporting weapons like ARs and handguns. Hunting weapons like bolt actions often different in that sense. |

most of the time you purchase the guns in the country you are a permanent resident in. I would say yes, in this case. as a swiss living in Italy, you could be a gun owner in italy. but its often long to obtain the permanent resident permit that is good enough |

No reason for the question. Just curious. Hey Shung, it is still easy to get rifles in CHE? What about pistols? Any limits on numbers you can collect? |

Any limits on numbers you can collect? no limit. since the EU forced its laws upon us, you need a specific permit to get handguns with mags with more than 20 rounds and semi auto rifles with more than 10 rounds.. in practice it hasnt changed anything, but for these guns, a RIGHT became some kind of privilege. Which is some kind of huge change of paradygm |

For not really.. our politicians fucked us.. they basically made it a referendum on the end of the world. and people believe it. We won the last gun referundum on guns when the EU was not involved by 57% in 2013 basically they said. either you pass these gun laws or its the end of the world because the EU will retaliate.. and all parties but 1 pushed for this... even on the right... guns were never the topic.. |
