What's Italy's gun laws like?
Strict.
My husband, daughter and I all have licences to carry concealed. Not easily issued. Basically you need to demonstrate a need, eg carrying large amounts of cash or valuables or at risk. Some non-police security personnel (guardie giurate) can carry). Licences for hunting and target shooting only, are easier to obtain. Some areas are more amenable than others to guns for personal protection. Military calibres such as 9mm parabellum are a big no-no for civillians. 45 acp was declassified a little while back so the 1911 came in a rulebreaker round, the 45HP.
