Denmark has very strict gun laws. We only allow private firearm possession for the purposes of hunting and sport shooting. People with hunting licenses and members of rifle clubs, with a valid weapon permit may possess certain models of shotguns and rifles. If you want a hunting license, you have to pass several tests proving your knowledge about guns, ammunition, game characteristics and habits. Target shooting is considered the only valid reason for owning a pistol. Pistol licenses are only given to people after a two year active membership with a shooting club.
All gun licenses have to be specially authorized by the Minister of Justice. License holders are allowed to own multiple firearms, but have to get a separate permit for each weapon. The permits are only issued if the applicant can show a valid reason for owning the particular weapon. Guns and ammunition have to be stored separately in special gunrooms with double locks.
Furthermore it is illegal to carry a weapon in a public place, unless it is for a specific purpose (hunting, fishing, sports etc.) If you are transporting a gun from one place to another (for example from your home to the forest), you must carry all your licenses and a personal ID as well and prove that you are either on the way to a specific activity where you will be using your gun or on the way back from a specific activity where you have used your gun.
TLDR: It's a lot of work to get a gun in Denmark and there is a lot of bureaucracy regarding guns in Denmark..
