You've summoned me, Voluptious.
My father has a background in the Army. He's spent most of his life in it, and he's been in peace-keeping operations in the middle east as a for NATO I believe. When my father enlisted in the army, he got himself into "oppklarings-enheten" or just "recon-unit" where he trained for a war against the Soviet Union. He was supposed to be behind enemy lines relay information about enemy forces to the HQ or whatever.
Because of his military background, he owns multiple firearms which are more or less impossible for civilians to acquire. He owns everything from a Colt .45 to a Luger and a US carbine (and many other weapons).
My father is very gun-interested as Volup mentioned, and he's a part of a "pistol club" and he's a devoted hunter. I've naturally grown up with weapons myself and I've tried many guns that other Norwegian citizens haven't. I own a hunting rifle myself, and I consider myself to be rather experienced with firearms in general (Everything from revolvers, pistols, shotguns and rifles).
(Note: I'm mentioning my father in this thread only because Volup mentioned him).
Gun laws are very strict in Norway and you can get a long jail-sentence if you don't follow the laws to the dot.
Since firearms are so strictly regulated and monitored, we don't really see a lot of action when it comes to shootouts and etc. Our police don't carry firearms (Although an exception has been made for quite a few months due to a very high terror-risk here in Norway).
Norway is very different compared to USA because the right to bear arms is almost a religion right, and the same laws that we have in Norway would never work out in a place like America because firearms are so important over there and american citizens would basically just flip shit.
I personally think that a citizen shouldn't have to own a semi-automatic assault rifle for personal defense (ie an AR-15). I understand the whole "Criminals are scared because there's a high chance that their victim got a gun" but the more easy it is for citizens to acquire guns; the more easy it is for criminals to do the same.
I'd say that the current gun laws in America are the reasons why school-shootings are sadly such a frequent issue. It's too easy for a crazy person to get a hold of a gun and then go crazy with it.
As Sliced mentioned, if you carry a weapon on yourself for self-protection then there's an even higher chance that you'll get yourself hurt. If you're for instance robbed then you should remain calm and give away your wallet and phone instead of trying to grab your gun and shoot the person. Many people who purchase a firearm do sadly not invest enough time in familiarizing and training with the gun, which can lead to dangerous situations.
I support a strong and heavily controlled and monitored gun-control.
