As of today, close to 640,00 German citizens are legally permitted to carry a deterrent gun or similar self-defense weapon. To put things in perspective, in 2014, there were just 260,000.
That’s nearly a 250 percent increase in just five years.
Die Welt reports that these figures were able to see the light of day thanks to a survey that was conducted by regional daily, Rheinische Post, at the interior ministries of all 16 federal states.
According to the data obtained, in the last year alone, the increase in small firearm licenses rose about 9 percent compared to the same period last year.
Per capita, the number of firearm owners is highest in Schleswig-Holstein (9.6 per 1000 inhabitants), and in Saarland (9.2). The number of individuals who hold a small gun license has reportedly been rising for years.

Where I live in NYS along the PA border when your host pulls out the good silver it’s in the form of trays that they load up with their newest guns to show off to their friends.
I’m not far off of that number on my own.
They have a ways to go. It should be more like 66 weapons per TEN inhabitants.
Nah. That would be common sense. And we can’t have any of that now, can we.
Imagine that. My German friend swore the muzzie invasion wouldn’t change Germany from what it’s always been. Make that ex-friend after he refused to believe me they weren’t sending their top scientists and engineers.
That’s probably the number of those who managed to save their weapons from accidentally falling into the Rhine.
Someone asks how many guns you own you just answer “all of them”.
The cops in Germany better get their heads in the right direction quickly. This will not end well for them. Something very very bad is coming
What a douche. They ARE no “top scientists and bestest muslims Evah”. They have one goal only. Your exfriend is effed.
IIRC Schleswig-Holstein is north of Hamburg- the German Baltimore, but not that bad. Saarland is kinda nowheres-ville, east of Luxemborg. No known threat there ...
Dunno.
Would like to see the Krauts carrying around MG 42s. Man would that send the Muzzies running for cover.
Well, the survival instinct isn’t completely dead in all Europeans.......
Meanwhile in Southern California we’re sitting ducks for any illegal alien or felon who is in a bad mood, as our sheriff refuses to abide by the Second Amendment.
Guy is a walking violation of his oath of office.
How stringent are the rules for owning a pistol? I imagine CCW is a non-starter in Germany. Especially for self-defense.
“German citizens are arming themselves with firearms..”
Too bad they can’t use them for self defense.
I would have preferred a headline title that said “More Germans arming themselves with arms: The better to beat down an assailant”.
However, “firearms” are good too.
If there is not a rise of the German Werewolves, then NO they have not found their balls.
Don’t try to deny it! We know it’s you! Lol...
North Germany. I’ve heard there are a lot of mudslimes in Hamburg now though.
Perfect - threaten to beat them with a chub of pig liver. *chuckle*
