Sorry to burst your bubble, but ENGLAND, not France is the land of outlawed guns. The French have guns and lots of them. They are one of the most heavily armed countries in the world. France is credited with having over 30% of its citizens owning a gun. My experience is that well over that number possess firearms. I have a 12 ga. in France at the moment for hunting and shooting TRAP. Sometimes I’ve had more, but never less. When I walk through Charles de Gaulle airport with my gun case I get no more than a glance from the security people. If I did the same at Heathrow, mass hysteria would break out.
But does France have a right of self defense like we do?
Anywhere but America, using a gun to defend yourself is highly illegal and self defense is not a valid reason for obtaining a gun license.
You mentioned shotguns. Isn’t that about the only firearm one can own in France with minimum hassle and no autoloaders, please?
> The French have guns and lots of them. <
But it’s very difficult to get a concealed carry permit in France. Correct?

Nice ‘comment’
BUT
I may have inferred and more than a few would probably interpret it the way you did, but I actually said
‘In the land of outawed guns etc...’
in the same respect I would have said
‘In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king’ which did ‘inspire’ my comment.
Don’t understand why so many have to get so GD smarmy and taking every nuance and sarcastic remark as gospel.
