CapnMac: As for Finland later joining the EU and (then) facing the pressure to conform to possibly tighter EU gun restrictions--
- don't forget about the Czech Republic. Even some other EU countries allow ownership and use of semi-auto rifles (only at gun clubs), but the Czechs allow thousands of citizens to acquire the Concealed Carry permit.
Nobody ever said that it was simple, like in most of the US.
But whether the Czech govt loses some sort of EU trade benefits because of telling the Brussels Eurokrats to "Stuff It" regarding gun laws, I've never read of any such trade-off.
These friends do tactical shooting in Slovenia (both handgun and rifle), which might not be a formal member of the EU. As I've prev. stated they have flown a few times to Shot Show in Vegas.
Sometimes people from neighboring countries visit the Czech Republic or Slovenia in order to be guests and experience different types of shooting.
Germany and Austria along with most Euro countries don't seem to allow any tactical ranges. Manca's "G3" is an original German civilian HK-91 (a "G3" in semi-auto only) and her VZ-58 is the same type imported here as a complete rifle into Knoxville TN with threaded muzzles and bayo lugs.
PS: those nice folks in Slovenia at "Palomar Tactical" have felt a need to clarify on their website words, at least in the past, similar to this: " We are not terrorists, criminals etc. We just have fun". What a real shame.
There must not be many tactical ranges in other countries for typical civilian gun owners.
