question for the norwegians on this forum

ThorAlex · 11-26-2006, 03:48 PM

i have noticed that there are a few of you here so i thought i could ask you a question. i asked the military loyer (I'm currently serving in the navy) but he could not answer

How are the rules fore having weapons at home in Norway? I have understood that they should be registered, but what else? How do you register one? i have a swiss army luger (se my post in the swiss luger category) but i don't think its registered. What consecwenses does it have if its found?

Hei ThorAlex, I will try to answer your question in English, in respect of the forum

Well.. to own a "long arm", such as a rifle or shotgun, there are three options.
1) Take the hunters license, and give a reasonable description of your need for the weapon when applying for ownership. Be over 16 years old.. parents would have to sign if under 18.
2) Be an active shooter, member of an approved club. No requirement of how long you wound have to be registered before applying for the gun, as long as it's within your caliber "class".
3) Be a registered collector, something which is quite hard to become. For some reason, you would have to be invited into a "club" by members, show a genuine and deep interest in a type of firearm. Then you can purchase several firearms within your limits.. Like only Lugers and K98 rifles. Your house would have to be connected with a security system and firearms stored in an FG approved safe.

When it comes to pistols, there are also three options (Im excluding military home guard or army officer reasons)
1) You are an active shooter who can document participating in competitions within the same weapon "class" as you apply for. You have been trough the security lessons, are over the age of 21, has been a member of an approved club for at least 6 months, no criminal record and having the pistols stored in an FG approved safe. Also.. if you have one 9mm registered, it is not easy documenting the need for another 9mm. Usually, the shooter only get one pistol within the "gun class" he is active in.
2) You are registered gun collector (see above under long-arms)
3) You live or work in Svalbard, and need a pistol/revolver as protection against polar bears.

And Thor Alex, if your Swiss Luger is unregistered, the police does not take things like that easily these days! It would cause jail time and some 'serious' trouble.. It is not worth it, my advice for you, is to deliver the Luger in to the police. It is still a weapon amnesty today, with a special focus on all those unregistered shotguns.. I would have done it now while you still have the chance. The police can store it away for you, until you qualify for one of the reasons above or you could sell it 'live' to someone who does. ..also, they could let you have it deactivated by a gunsmith . A deactivated Luger would have about the same value when selling as a 'live one'..

..or you could sell it to me, it sure sounds like an interesting Luger

Now it's my dad who have it, so for the moment its really not my problem (anyways i cant find a reason for the police to find it, it took me several years from the first time i heard about it). What do they do to deactivate it? is it possible to put in parts from an other gun to avoid the original parts from being destroyed? I know its not a good idea to try top fool the police, but i really dont want it to be destroyed or have parts destroyed.
How is the rules for HV soldiers? i know they can have there guns at home but does it qualify for having more guns? I've been seriously considering joining them fore a wile already.
Maybe it's possible to have a relative in Switzerland to take care of it? I'm not shore how the rules are there but there are a lot of those guns down there so i guess it's not a big deal.

A deactivated Luger is.. deactivated. It is done in a way that it is impossibleto turn it into a firearm again, it's not just a matter of using other parts.

I understand your frustration over it.. But I will encurage you to follow the law, it's probably no great fun owning a pistol when all you can do is to fondle with it in the basement.
Myself.. I'm 'working' part time as an officer in HV, in the newly started 'Innsatsstyken', witch is somewhat better equipment and more training than the the regular HV. We do have our military firearms at home, but that does not give us the right to purchase other pistols or rifles. The officers in 'HÃ?Â¦ren' who is working there full time, may apply on purchasing a private pistol. If you're interested in HV, I would recomend that you contact your nearest HV division! I'm sure you're welcome

As to Switzerland.. they have rules not far from what we have. Most of the world have restrictions on owning firearms, rules not far from the ones we have here in Norway.
