Sounds like a great life experience!
If you get a chance to purchase over there, you may want to look out for the Danish made Agner 22 lr target pistol. They were very nice, on par with Hammerli, Sako Triace, etc. Also, the old Danish service pistol, the M49, is their designation for the Sig P210. Absolutely top quality!
Don't be surprised to see a higher level of marksmanship than you'd typically see in the US. With the difficulty of acquiring lawful gun ownership, the people who make the effort tend to take the sport very seriously. UIT/ISU style shooting, such as free pistol, is much more common in the EU.
Referring to your original post, your daughter is likely to benefit from an education standpoint. As a college prof, I have seen an alarming decline in academic standards here. Not only is functional illiteracy becoming more prevalent, students are less capable of critical thinking, conducting research, formulating an abstract, etc.
Best Regards,

I did NOT know you could buy hand guns in Denmark. Look's like you will be doing just fine once you get all set up over there. Look forward to hearing of your adventures from abroad.
Thank you,

You are taking your guns to Denmark. I have a rifle that was an Army issued rifle in Denmark. Small world.
It was a Garand that the US loaned to Denmark after the war. The Danes were nice enough to put a very nice VAR barrel on it before it was returned to the US Army.
Good luck and please keep us posted. Especially, we need a range report when you get settled and check out the facilities.

Watch out for the German tourists. They come in large, armed groups and stay for a few years.

This is me shooting a Danish guy named Lars' model 28-2 at the range in Copenhagen, Denmark.
I more than likely will spending most of my free time here...
Here is the Highway Patrolman I shot, the grips are ones from Thailand. Notice the proof marks.

OK, everyone is wishing you good luck so I will take the opposite approach. As a 16th generation American, PLEASE, PLEASE don't go.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, LAND THAT I LOVE.....
Thought that I would give it a shot, no pun intended.

When I was there last summer I went to a place in Copenhagen called the Gun Gallery and saw some pretty nice ones for sale...
The only gun stores I have ever seen are the ones we have here at home, so I am pleased you will be able to still feel like an American. And I'm sure we all want to see what it's like being around Danes with firearms. Sure they must love it also.
When I was stationed in Germany we all carried 45's, and many locals could no belive we also did so back home. They will welcome your knowledge about guns, so enjoy it to the fullest.
Thank you,
That 4" fixed sight Model 19 gave me the vapors. My luck, I'd buy it, get attached and wind up not being able to "import" it back to the US because of some dumb .gov regulation. Be happy, the journey is the destination. Come back soon as you can. Joe

Here are a few I made. But just give me a call and tell me what you may want, and I will draw something up, and put my 10 fingers and 12 toes to work. I only post a few, as each is custom.
Thank you,

GunarSailors;
I don't know you, even in the sense of an Internet presence. Sorry for that, but I post very infrequently despite my almost daily visits... Always felt there is more to be learned with open eyes and closed mouth.
For some visceral reason, this journey of yours saddens me. I find no fault nor blame in your decision to move, as I too feel it may be in the best interest of your family. I have also noted the changes in our nation, and with my son (only twelve years of age now), there are many acute concerns regarding the path of our future. For fear of becoming too political, I'll leave it at that.
Overall, I expect this adventure will be one to bring deep and everlasting benefit to you and your family. It is certain that you will endure many unexpected inconveniences, and perhaps a few hardships. With such a monumental change, this is to be expected. Please try to cherish the benefits, as you learn from the pitfalls.
Given your circumstances and conditions, I feel you are in the midst of a great and good thing that will better your relationship with your wife, greatly enrich your daughter, and deeply gratify yourself.
As one American to another, I assure you that your return will always be welcomed, should you ever choose.
May the good Lord protect and comfort you and your family, however this next chapter progresses.

I thought moving to Alaska in early 70's was an adventure, after four years moved back to lower 48. Think I will just hang around here and try to improve things thru the ballot box. Being an old fart, I say when we get all the old farts out of congress things will improve.

I ll need one of the members from Denmark to answer those questions. I think you are allowed to reload, but I think you have to take a class first in order to be allowed to do it. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

I so envy you your upcoming sojourn. My adventuring days are over but the thought of you embarking on this wonderful new life in a land whose history is measured in millennia makes me want to follow your progress.
God bless all of you and keep us posted.

Glad things are working out for you. One of my regrets (of many) is never developing any foreign language skills. It would open up more options for places to live.

is there a maximum number of handguns, rifles & shotguns you are allowed to own in Denmark? Are semi autos (of all 3)allowed to be owned & hunted with?
I`m not sure about Denmark, but here in Norway the rules are..Recreational shooter, can own 4 handgun`s ....sportsman shooter can have 8, and competitionshooters can have 8 + 8 ....this is for the most common classes in sports shooting, if you add CAS, PPC and practical shooting you may end up with 30+ guns....but you have to apply to the local police every time you want a new gun...AND you have to document that you really need it and you have to be very activ to get that amount of guns, i have8 handguns and 4 long guns 
for hunting guns you can have 6....semi auto is ok but there are lot`s of guns that are banned because of the "millitary look"
