When in Rome

[mcduck]

I will be visiting Rome this summer. Does anyone know good gun shops there, and are American browsers well received?

I have been all over Europe and never seen a gun shop. I know they exist. Either way have a good time and try and get out of the city to some of the small towns if you can. Renting a car is easy. Prego!

If you want to see some fine guns in Italy, Brescia is where you want to go. It is Italy's firearms manufacturing center.

No idea about Italy.
Sidenote:
If you enjoy history, there was very little written info as we walked in the Roman Forum, and we Should have planned on a guided tour -- pretty low cost -- to provide an accurate context of the many buildings' ruins etc.

Back to guns: For anyone in downtown Lucerne Switzerland (or who will be/could be...), I found this by chance when seeing a sign for a sporting goods store, about six years ago. 10-15 minutes north of the large lake.

If this is the same shop, it had a Romy AKM, AR etc.
Disregard the mistaken link to one of our cats----

I was there a few years ago. I told them I was American citizen with my state’s CC permit. He said typically there was no problem delivering long arms to the USA. It takes a little time, they get the importation permit and can ship to your FFL. Handguns? Whole ‘nother tin of tuna there.
In ‘72 I imported 3 rifles to my dad’s address, only thing that was inconvenient was having to pay $13 duty when he went to the post office to pick them up. That was then, this is now!

Thanks for the info. Oddly google shows a number of gun shops in Rome. I am guessing they keep a low profile. Brescia might we'll be a worthy side trip. I will certainly seek a guided tour of the colliseum.

Wait, so if I go to Italy, I can buy and import a firearm?
