    just curious. weapons they can get with little regulation. like which countries allow common folk to buy bows/crossbows without too much paper work.

    im under the impression many countries allow people to own a double barrel shotgun.

    what about swords?

    I found, in some quick research, most countries allow "use" of shotguns (pumps&semi's usually not allowed) for hunting/sporting, but a lot of countries require the person to store the shotgun at the civilian range or police station, depending on the country.

    It seems airguns, bows, crossbows, are looked at differently throughout the world.
    Some countries have stricter regulations on air guns than shot guns!

    Also in my short readings I found it interesting that some countries I believed to be more lax 'd weren't and some I thought had very strict laws, were more lax'd than I thought.

    Another thing I found, there are more than just a few countries that have permitting processes to acquire weapons, that requires a person to specify the need/use, for example; professional use, hunting, sporting/shooting comps. But self defense is not a good enough reason in the eye of the law to own or possess a weapon!
