Welcome from Noosa, Queensland Australia, where it's currently 82.4F/28C. How strict are the firearm licensing regs in Iceland?
We are fairly strict here. ALL guns are registered in a database at the police station, and this is how it goes.
We need to sit at a course for about 3 days even though we have shot from early age.
After that has been done ALL newbies are allowed to have 3 guns. An air rifle, .22 and 12 gauge s/s, o/u, single shooter or pump. This is what is called A license.
At year 2 you can apply for B license and from there you can own all from .22 mag and up (regardless of caliber), semi auto shotguns.
3rd year is the D license also called "collectors license" at that point you can own .22 semi, few handguns with restrictions, and military weapons AS LONG they are single shooting, semi OR known history about if that type has been here before or not.
Handguns are limited to the public that is the law inforcement are the only one that can have 9mm and up unless the item (45 acp, 45 DE, 38, 357 and etc) were purchased before the law changed to what they are now. Therefore the public can only own .22.
Silencers are sold here and again they need to be registered to the owner.
Gun safes are mandatory if the plan is to own more than 3 guns.. no it's no but's
I hope this answer something
