Demilled Firearms

The larger (and public) museums usually have a firearms permit that enables them to keep and display live firearms.

Smaller museums usually consider it to be too much hassle to bother getting a permit for the few items on display and will choose for deactivation instead (in the UK at least).

In the Netherlands, the gun laws make no difference between a working gun or a deactivated gun (with some minor exceptions, such as old shot guns and bolt action rifles), so any pistol, semi-automatic rifle or full auto gun must be registered on a permit anyway.
