I don't think any of them would beat the Czech Republic.

forget it.

As beautiful as the Women are, as ugly is the Language.

Austria´s Gun  Laws are decent.

No full Auto, but CCW is possible, and AR´s ( with some silly, ridiculous restrictions ), too.

Before 1990 it was Paradise, except for AR´s ...

Food is MUCH better than in CZ. Beer, imo, too.

Wine is MUCH better!



But Czech Women are still HOT!!!!!!!

No, you need at least temporary residence.
You can bring gun for sport/hunt - generaly as anywhere else.

You can carry this though. Or knife, sword, baton, pepper spray... Stupid, its far from ideal legislation.


Fixed.
After all, Wienna was second largest Czech city in those times

What are requirements for ccw? Is it shall issue? Ive heard so, but not confirmed.
About the beer, well, we dont dring beer, we drink pivo.

Are percussion revolvers okay, or do they have to be breech-loading or muzzle-loading?  The website says no licence for the derringer but would that be the case for the revolver?  How about any importation requirements?

Unfortunately BP revolvers become registered/licenced issue in 2006, there is 2shot limit on "unlicenced" guns.
Importation is possible, but you have to have gun licence, many shooters purchased their guns in e.g. Germany.

Can foreigners purchase firearms that do not require a license in the Czech Republic?

Posted before but here it is again wrt MALTA



You must be a resident of Malta which is very expensive and time consuming.





But we do get some stuff even you guys in the US don't:















AS DK-Prof said:



Ultimately, there really is just NO
country on the planet that values and protects gun ownership like the
U.S. does, and has the legal protections in place for the average
citizen to own both handguns and semi-auto rifles.




Czech republic is better as is Switzerland compared to Malta based on Gun laws.




 

Purchase and carry without any limitation, just look older than 18;)


RF11: Scorpions look much better with proper 30rd. mags.

While this is technically possible, and I know some collectors, it is really hard to get the FA collector status. And even then, in many cases "the man" prohibits shooting FA with your guns... So no, Finland is no more a cool gun country. Switzerland, Czech Republic and Estonia come to mind when not so retarded gun laws are discussed.

For single or two-shot pistols, can the use fixed cartridges, or do they have to be percussion or black powder?  Are the rules the same for long guns (one or two shot weapons okay without a license)?

The rule is same for both long and short muzzle loaded guns, breach loaders only in case the primer is not part of the cartrige - e.g. Sharps, Smith or Gallager are not licenced. And also those are the only guns that can be legaly made at home without the necessity of being licenced gunsmith.
Other not licenced kind of guns are historical guns - made before 1890, most practical is Gewehr 88.
Centerfired and rimfired guns are licenced (registered and require gun licence to posses).

So you can own unlimited shotguns and only ten rifled weapons provided that you have both TS-A and TS-B?

Are Skorpion semi-autos with buttstocks allowed?

Seems like one that CZ made in 9x18 (they did make them) would fit the bill for a nice plinker.

From talking to members here, the CR is pretty much the best.
Brasil apparently has some pretty awsome gun laws on the books, one of the few other countries where it is
possible to get a CCW

So with -pre-1890 firearms, it does not matter if cartridges are used?

 

Czech gun law knows long firearms and short firearms. There is no gap between those two categories such as "SBR" or any other BS.
Scorpion is short firearm, cops insist on term "selfloading pistol" and thats it. Short shotgun pistols - "lupara" are also legal.
Actoally its quite sad, because we are allowed to purchase and carry JHP bullets only for long firearms, had the Scorpion beed clasified as long firearm, that would mean I would be able to buy JHP and carry them in it...

CSA is turning out Škorpions in 9x17 (9mm Browning or .380) havent seen one in 9mm Makarov yet.


If its pre 1890 its "D category" and therefore free to buy for those over 18 without any licence or registry even if its howitzer. Same with ammunition for those guns. Problem is to find useful gun that old..


In communist Czechoslovakia it was allmost the same - hunters were alloved to own shorguns and rifles (being comrade helped a bit) but .22lr were only in possesion of sportclub as comrades were afraid of someone shooting them silently
Surprisingly, in those times illegal possesion of gun wasnt crime but heavily fined misdemeanor, and shooting smallbore rifle was common part of PE at elementary/high schools.

South Africa allows CCW.  They used to issue military weapons to the rural Kommando units too, but the ANC dispersed them a few years back.  Something about a boer reserve army made them a little nervous.

They really tightened up their gun laws in 2004.  Part of the changes made it difficult for foreigners to get CCW; from what I've heard from people who used to visit during the Apartheid era, it used to be somewhat easy to get CCW while visiting.  apparently licensing has in practice become rather arbitrary, which has been used as a political tool.  Or so I've heard.  Right now Namibia has better gun laws than South Africa for both foreigners (resident and non-resident) and citizens.

Just read up on the Czech Republic gun laws.

Sounds like a decent place to live if you enjoy firearms.
