#4 "Suspected" not "Proven"! Slippery slope!

#5 If you're not a certified hunter or a member in a "Schützenverein", it's very difficult to legally own firearms in Germany.

#6 Would amember of AfD be accepted into either of those categories, European Conservative? I am reminded of when Mr. Wife and I went to sign up for riding lessons at the Bad Soden a.T. stable, and were told that while he could have afternoon/evening lessons, my only possibility — as a Hausfrau — was in the morning, even though my personal choice was in the afternoon while my toddlers took a nap.

#7 At the moment, court rulings seem to vary.

A gun ownership card (Waffenbesitzkarte) grants permission to purchase and possess firearms with specific details listed on the card. The card is issued by the relevant authority in different jurisdictions. It also specifies the permission to purchase and possess ammunition for the registered firearms. The possession of firearms is allowed for hunters, sport shooters, and individuals who can provide credible evidence of being at a greater risk of life-threatening attacks and can reduce the risk by possessing a firearm. However, the card only permits the purchase and possession of a weapon and does not allow carrying it in public.

To obtain the card, individuals must meet certain requirements, including being at least 18 years old, demonstrating reliability, suitability, expertise, and having appropriate liability insurance. Additionally, a plausible written justification for the need of a firearm is required.

For carrying a firearm in public places, a firearms license (Waffenschein) is necessary. It is only granted to individuals who can prove a legitimate need for it, such as those working in the security sector. However, the firearm can only be used in specific circumstances. Persons who can credibly demonstrate that their life and limb are also threatened outside their own home or business premises can also obtain a firearms license. The firearms license also authorizes the holder to acquire and possess a firearm. Shooting with a firearm must be applied for separately with a corresponding permit.

#8 Always a treat to read EC, but no good deed...

Mohammed applied for a Waffenbesitzkarte.
"Threatened? Yes, often."
Authorities found
That he'd thrown to the ground
His Koran.
"Denied! Want a free coffin?"
