4 Countries That Gun Lovers Need To Know
• Lew Rockwell - Simon BlackThe good news is that the US isn't the only country where people can bear arms. Here are four other countries where you can own guns:
Switzerland
Switzerland is famous for having one of the most well-armed populaces on the planet. Not only are the Swiss allowed to have guns, many citizens were traditionally required to own one and go through training on how to use it.
Switzerland's laws require having a permit in order to be able to buy certain firearms, but these are attainable with minimal and straightforward bureaucracy.
Czech Republic
Czech Republic is another place in Europe where you can enjoy the benefits of gun ownership without having to deal with much government paperwork.
You'll need to get a permit in order to legally own firearms, but these are relatively easily available—also for most foreigners who live there.
There's no limit to how many firearms you can own and you can carry a concealed firearm.
Estonia
Private possession of a large variety of guns is allowed for Estonian residents under a license. These can be obtained for any number of reasons, including self-defense.
The government maintains a record of individual civilians licensed to possess firearms and ammunition, but private sale and transfer is allowed, as is concealed carry.
Paraguay
Most types of firearms can be legally purchased in Paraguay, but a license is required and a central registry of gun ownership is maintained.
The plus side is that even as a tourist you can legally buy weapons in Paraguay.
