Many thanks from Germany!
Havenīt so much infos about the FAL/L1A1 here.
There are only a few FALs here in Germany (a few Springfields/Imbels SAR-4800 and Isnapores altered after the old gun law before 2003 and now a small amount of L1A1 which were altered after the new German gun law). Thats it!

And realize that every little European country have it own gun laws that were all different! If you drive on one weekend through three countries (Netherland, Belgium and Germany in my case) to visit friends on the range, you have to look which weapon you pick for your day on the range. The gun which is allowed here can be forbidden there. Same thing in France, Luxemburgh, Switzerland and Austria! That is something you can get crazy about!

As hunter (after an exam!) you can buy so many longarms as you want and two handguns. As a sportshooter you can only buy four guns (which must correct for sportshooting in Germany, handguns minimum 3" barrels and semiauto rifles minimum 16,75" barrels) a year, but you must pass an exam about guns, safety rules and so on (normaly a weekend) and shoot one year in a club. If you stop shooting in the club you must sell your guns! If you are a collector you must pass an exam about the guns you want to collect and then you can buy the weapons on your licence. In every case of owning you must have a proper safety vault to store your weapons (ammo seperatly), so it is costly too! And the police can control you everytime they want!

You mean "the police can check you anytime they want". They have the same system here in the Netherlands. Every year some cops check my safe, the serial numbers on my guns and whether the ammo is stored separately.

We have the same system here for owners of 'restricted' and 'registered' firearms, the cops come and visit us about once a year and check serial numbers and security.

I hope you don't have to pay them by the hour!

No, you havenīt to pay them for their visits and they didnīt come every year.

But it hollow up our Basic Constitutional Law in Germany
where every man have the inviolability of the home
and only a search warrant which is sign by a judge
or the case of danger in delay (for the police in action!) can obey that.

So if you are a legal gunowner in Germany you have to given up
some of your basic rights from Basic Constitutional Law!

And remember you not have the right to keep arms in Germany
itīs only a temporary permit to keep your arms
(which can be cancelede and you have to sold your firearms)!

Germanfritze,

Where do you live, are the laws different in the different states? I had a Waffenbesitzkarte before I left Bayern. I bought a Blauser rifle to bring home. Saw some great stuff in some of the Bavarian Gun shops, but I always wondered if the laws were any different in say Baden-Württemberg or Hessen.

Thanks

The gun laws do not differ in the different states, it is Federal law.
But there where some changes in 2003 and in 2008!
But to remember the rules for gun owning for G.I.s
who lived temporaly in Germany were ever much lighter
than for the Germans.
I was stationed at Ramstein Air Base in 2003 and can tell you that it was no problem for the average US soldier to buy a firearm legally there!
