Completely random thought popped into my mind: what is the firearm scene in Iceland?
Cursory Google search indicates that they have no army, and cops are unarmed. Rifles are legal with permit, handguns banned. People apparently hunt reindeer, and a "6.5 to 8mm rifle is reccommended".
Doesn't Iceland have some kind of internal defense force, if not an army?
I just found myself randomly curious. We hear all the time about the gun-loving Swedes tracking down elg [moose] with their 6.5mm rifles, and those crazy Finns with their suppressors and subguns. Don't hear much about the Norwegians, but haven't really heard anything at all about Iceland in our discussions.
Anybody in Iceland, from Iceland, or just familiar with the firearm scene is Iceland?
I was initially curious as to what kind of firearms their military/paramilitary/self-defense forces use, but any info would help satisfy my boundless curiousity. Thanks all, -MV
