Hej från Sverige!

Post by andref » Fri Jul 22, 2011 3:42 pm

Hello to everyone on this forum. I have been a 'lurker' here for quite sometime now. A little about myself - Im from India and I moved to Sweden to study automotive engineering a couple of years ago and now work here. I love the outdoors and do a bit of camping, mountain biking and the like. I shoot air rifles and have just started out shooting bows. Sweden is just amazing if your an outdoorsman like I am - besides the sparsely populated woods and forests filled with wildlife and dotted with thousands of lakes theres also the fact that everyone in scandinavia has the right to camp on public land (allemansrätten) which simplifies things somewhat. Firearm possession is easy once one has passed a mandatory hunters exam. I am unsure as to the legality of using firearms for self-defense. Hunting is common and guns are sold at sporting goods stores etc. Well thats a little about me, I plan to start a poll in the RKBA section and I hope to hear what you think about some of my questions soon!
