Do you go to the local gunshop to buy guns and ammo just like we do here?
Depends on the country, but mostly yes. In Germany, I walked into a well stocked gun store and walked out with what I wanted. It was a little more complicated when shopping in another country. There are a lot of great gunshops all over Europe. Belgium, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, England, Turkey, etc. all have a lot of gunmakers. Rules vary depending on where you live and where you are buying, but yes, there are plenty of gunstores in Europe.
While gun ownership is more regulated in most European countries, it is for the most part allowed. Most of the people I shot/hunted with in Germany owned 10-15 rifles and handguns. One friend there owns over 200, although he has been at odds with the regulatory people at times over whether he could own that many on just a hunting license.
