I've never seen anyone carry a gun private. Only police officers carry weapons sporadically. Even for hunters the introduction of weapons is so difficult that they hunt here with rented gun.

Carrying arms is illegal, unless you have a permit. It's very difficult to issue a permit as a private person for this. I knew one guy (a club owner) that carried a gun, and from what I understood he had it after he proved his life was being threatened since he used to carry on him a lot of money.
