[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 623565, member: 14557"] Around here everyone wanting to buy, own or use (independently, you can let someone else shoot with your gun if you are right there with them supervising) a gun has to have a permit from local police department. Nowadays they are rather strict with it. Even speeding tickets can cause you to loose your guns or not get them in the first place. And other than background check there is an interview. You also has to have a legit reason to want a gun and locked gun safe to keep it, and you are responsible no one has access to that. No one gets a permit for protection, in fact surest way not to get a permit is even hint you may find owning a gun bringing you safety in that interview. Basically you can get a permit for hunting guns if you are active hunter (have hunting permits and belong to some hunting club or own enough private property to hunt there etc.) or active target shooter (had done that in range for some time, belong to the shooting club, have their recommendations, maybe participate in shooting competitions etc.) Still we do have lots of guns, because hunting is really big and popular. Most guns are also hunting guns, rifles and shotguns. Still there is always someone, who, drunk or not, loses their mind and uses their guns to shoot someone, usually family member. Even though they don't have any red flags in their history, doesn't mean it can't happen. Or someone else gets to their guns, usually a family member (and yes, it is hard to keep gunsafe key so that people in your household can't find it. My husband has guns too. I don't have permits to them, so I shouldn't have an access. Want to take bets do I know where he keeps a key and do I have access? In fact I'm quite sure also at least easy child knows, most likely also difficult child even though he haven't lived here in few years.) Around here hunters mostly hunt within hunting clubs (clubs rent hunting permits from land owners from the area and only members of that club can hunt in that area) and most of the hunting with rifles is done as a group activity and is very structured, so I can't say I would worry even when they hunt near our home. Hunting for smaller game is done more individually but in that they mostly use shot guns and shot gun of course is only dangerous for very short distance, so much less likely to cause accidents than big calibre rifles they use to hunt elks, which really can kill you kilometres away. Which is why it is so regulated and they tend to build shooting towers so they can always shoot downwards and be sure bullet is not travelling anywhere they can't see for sure. Luckily shooting accidents are not very common and those that happen are usually not very serious. But in the end, you can kill with a knife too, even if you don't have a firearm. And that unfortunately is not at all uncommon around here. [/QUOTE]
