Michael Gaißmair weapon rules

Every member is strongly encouraged to purchase a suitable weapon and necessary ammunition/magazine pouches. We recommend de-activated guns
but as Finnish law still allows ownership and possession of live firearms, members are allowed to carry those as well - but without ammunition due
to security reasons. If carrying live firearm the firearm permit and other relevant documents must be carried as well and gun handled according to law.
