International laws.

[Loosedhorse]

Persons in the individual country who are trying or who have obtained firearms are obviously the best source of info. But with the exceptions of Sweden and Scandinavia--which country is that, again? --we seem to have fedw source of that caliber--which leaves us with hearsay.

My favorite bit of hearsay is what we learned about Italian firearm laws by watching Alberto Tomba (Tomba la bomba!) that, if you're a celeb--from an important family, too--in Italy, you get a make-believe title with the Armed Police (Carabinieri) that apparently allows you to speed (flashing your lights of course), drive intoxicated, and carry a firearm for personal protection.

All others need not apply.

Do we have a member from Italy who can take me to task for my misinformation?

I might write something about the Belgian Federal firearms law, and how regional law connects to it if you ppl are interested in this

I am interested, please write this!

The thread title is a misnomer. The discussion is not about international law, but about other national laws.

Try this link, as it provides a comparison of some foreign gun laws and provides an overview of some aspects of international law with respect to self defense...
