BTW, does France allow citizens to carry guns?
ROFL. Not even the ones that have the flag at the end that says "BANG."
>> BTW, does France allow citizens to carry guns?
You’re joking, right? Rhetorical question, right?
In France, even *thinking* about carrying a gun is illegal.
From Wikipedia:
"In France, to buy a firearm, a hunting licence or a shooting sport license is necessary. All semi-automatic rifles with a capacity greater than 3 rounds, all handguns and all rifles chambered in 'military' calibres, including bolt action, require permits. These are known as B1, B2 and B4 type permits. Firearms are divided into eight categories that determine the regulations that apply to their possession and use. France also sets limits on the number of cartridges that can be kept at home (1000 rounds per gun).
The total number of firearms owned by an individual is also subject to limits (not possible to have more than 12 authorizations/permits on B1, B2 and B4 type firearms). As of September, 2013, France has a capacity limit of 20 rounds for handguns; one needs a permit for category one[clarification needed] semi-automatics that have a capacity greater than 3 rounds. Fully automatic firearms are illegal for civilian ownership. "
But seriously... here are a couple of links to real information.
