I think like in all the europeen country actualy the laws about guns are more and more strict.
But no complet ban exist.
The problem is that many governments are "afraid" by the guns in civilian hands.
The law change in 1995 in France but not for any question about immigration. Officialy. I think many people work for supress weapons for civilian peoples.
It's not realy a proble for shooter or hunter. But any body cant buy a gun in France. It's not so stupid because without any knoledge this person is dangerous for her and for the people around her.
An other possibility but it's not an official point of view is that the "extrem right" politic group was growing in 90's years and like they where xenophobe and agressive peoples. Perhaps the law modification will be apply a part for not lets these peoples a too easy access to weapons. But it's only a hypothesys.
For the home defense it's clear you could us your gun. But like it's a SPORT GUN. You have not used it in the respect of the law. You will have many problem. The solution we have here it's no lethal weapons (GC54, GC27, SAFEGOM, FLASHBALL, etc.)
Before 1995 you could have a gun for defense but since this date the authoryti dont give this possibility and people with this authorisation you must renew every 5 years. When you come for renew it. It's supress and you must sell your gun. Clear ! No gun for defense in France. We are a safe country. CALL 911 (17 for us Police secours).
I have see Laetitia Daguenel during the last Fun shoot and IPSC shoot in VERTUS (north of France middle of Champagne county). Nice girl and realy good shooter.
I think for NRA our laws are not good because it's not free access to the weapon. We need to be shooter, we need to be in a shooting club, we need to wait a investigation, etc...
But we could have weapons. And for us it's realy the best final point.
The most important is this.
NRA ahve probably speak a lot about the British law.
Realy completly crazy.
About the limit for the volum of cartridge I confirm.
For a 1st or 4th categorie caliber (ex : 223 rem, 7.62x39, 9mm, 45ACP, 357mag, etc...) you could buy only 1000 cartridge every year. But you could reload without any limit.
This is the reason why I prefer my AR15 in 222 rem caliber. It's a hunting caliber so no limit I could buy 10 000 cartridges if I want
And some caliber are not classified like the 44 rem mag. It's classified like a hunting caliber for carbines.
The "pistolet a grenailles" was the copy of real gun using small shootgun cartridge, it's exact. They are used for defense. Every body could buy it in a gunsmith shop before 1995. But many guy used it for attack people and thay are forbidden today. Classified like a 357mag in 4th category gun.
The law is complexe. I have an exemple.
In the past I have a MOSSBERG COMBO SHOOTGUN. Now it's forbidden so the police confiscate my rifle 5 years ago.
But last year I found on the french market the NORINCO 1887. 12/70 caliber. 5 shoots capacity. I have buy it. It's an old system lever action, no problem. I could have this gun without any other request that my national shooter card. Easy !
I want just precise somethink about the laws I discribe. When I say the classification of your gun could change and be up clasified if you have to much capacity or a claiber classified. I have see 357mag lever action ROSSY carbin free sell in my usual gunsmith shop. so the law is not so clear !?
But it's clear you could not buy the cartridge! ?
Clearly classified cartridge.:banghead:
One of my link (AR15France) dont work.
Used this :

Last point. Someone speak of magazine limit capacity. No limit for use for Classified guns. I have 20 / 30 and 90 round magazines for my AR15.
For the not classified gun the limit is 10 shoots.
But for exemple. If I buy a 700 remington. And I make modification for used M14 magazines. I could buy a 20 rounds magasine it's free. No problem. But I must not used it. No no !! It's not good. I'm a bad guy if I do this
See you lady's and gentlemen.
And sorr yfor my english. Realy rusty!
