This is the freedom in Czech Republic. We can also carry knives, swords :-) , pepper sprays, etc. And we are still one of the safest countries in the world. Not like the rest of the European Union trying to force their dysfunctional laws on us. It's about people, not guns.
You can carry a knife, but in case of some fight, it will be hard for you to defend yourself in front of judge, it's better to use something else than knife.
As a Spanish living in Czech Republic, I feel this is a very safe country. I also legally conceal carry, which is quite challenging for a foreigner. Nevertheless, the reason to get the arms license was not fear but the realization that a population that is able to effectively defend themselves, can never be enslaved. The price of freedom is the responsibility for your own protection and the protection of your loved ones.
@@diyandimitrov5625 It is not easy for foreigners. For starters the whole process, including the examination is in Czech language, so you must be fluent, at least reading and understanding the spoken language, take into account that most of the theoretical exam is about legislation. The most critical limitation thought could be the country of origin. The permit can be refused if the foreigner comes from a non EU & NATO country. Also if he has status of refugee. I would advise you to check zákon 119/2002 paragraph 18/3
Most Czechs (myself included) don't get firearms to "defend" themselves from the government as most 2nd amendment advocates do. We've overthrown a dictatorship without weapons once, we could do it again. We just like Guns. No "Don't tread on me" shit.
Greeting from the Czech Republic, but what the fuck is wrong with Texas and banning abortions? You should get your shit together. I suggest all women to use guns against governmental tyranny. That's what they are meant for. And there is no question that abortion ban is tyranny.
Sorry to hear that brother. I don’t understand how your government can ban firearms when certain provinces literally need a gun just to go outside to protect themselves from wildlife. It is ridiculous. i feel horrible for the people of canada. Sadly in the United States I feel we might be joining you eventually. Hand guns being banned is totally irrational.
You can thank voting in the son of Castro for the problems you have up there. We have democrats as a problem south of your border trying to do the same thing yet they allow violent criminals to run loose in my state.
Join your gun rights organizations and remind them regularly that they should stop leaning on the "compliant"/"law abiding" and "hunter" angles, and instead make the moral case for the human right to keep and bear arms. Canada gets firearm rights the day that good men choose to assert themselves.
Nice video. I'm a Czech gun owner as well, and it was very refreshing and kind of funny to see probably the most unlikely person advocating for gun rights, that being a small, "hippie" woman with dreadlocks on her head. But IMO it's one of the greatest examples to propagate the message that guns are really not just a thing for macho men.
Make no mistake. These "hippie" women will (help) bring the end of gun rights in Czechia. Gun ownership will be banned within 5 - 7 years, hunting rifles at police stations. The EU had NO problem banning ICE cars and guns are next (GD, expected unrest).
Thank you for positive note, but remember, we also have people which mean that you definitely do not need something (and they try to legalize some kind of the ban), typically gun, knife, or, for instance, some type of a car. Anyway, comparing gun and self-defense laws in Czech Republic with some neighboors, we live in miracle...
We are most deffinitely one of the most gun friendly countries in the EU. I myself carry a glock 19 and enjoy recreational and sport shooting. Thankfully i havent had to use my gun so far and hope I never will, but its better to have it and not need it than to not have it and need it. Czech republic is in the top 10 safest countries in the world but i still feel safer carrying it around, especially as a bi/gay guy, a lot of people here are still not very friendly to LGBTQ people and if the stares and comments ever turn into actions I ll be gladto have a gun to defend myself.

Is Texas the Czech Republic of America? I live in Texas and we have many cities that are Czech settlements here. We might have inherited that spirit from over there. Pass me a Kolache.
No you don't. We, in Czech don't own so many guns as in US. And we in Czech do background check so crazy folks won't get guns. Luckily that is why we don't have mass shootings here.
Hi from another Czech gun owner.. ;-) I also carry every day only with exception of a need to cut down weight during my harder hikes.. :) From 10mil citizen we have group of approx.250 000 of shooters with about 1mil of firearms..,so nothing like US,but still no slouch.. I'am glad for videos like this...,good work ! ;-)
Those are small, yet respectable numbers (12.5 p/100) for your population considering most of the EU's view of gun ownership. Keep up the good work and a salute from America.
When that lady who sells medical equipment was talking about her G43 and taking room clearing tactical training I was like damn this is exactly what it's like in America lol. I had no idea we have so much in common with Czech
You should be. Very few places in Europe are able to do this. I love it. Czech seems awesome. I am an American but a HUGE fan of CZ firearms. CZ pistols are superb. That first lady is marriage material.
You should be beautiful country and you guys make great guns, I enjoyed myself when I visited Prague and I love my cz p01 and and want to get more cz's
The funny thing is that the Czech Republic is one of the safest countries in the world to live in. It is ranked 8th on the Global Peace Index. Perhaps partly due to great gun laws that make guns very accessible to decent and law abiding citizens while making them inaccessible to troubled people. By the way, the US is ranked 129th on this index.
Dont want to ruin it for you, but Global Peace Index has very little to do with crime-safety, but ranks how much incompetent is your army - hence the top is Island with no army..;)
One of, if not the major reason that Czech Republic is so high on the peace index, is that it's largely a homogeneous society and HEAVILY limits immigration, both are completely unlike The USA. I'm purely stating this as objective facts based on my research and people I know, very well mind you, that live in Hungary, Poland and Czech Republic.
I always carry and try hard to not do business with places that are anti gun. America is very safe especially if you carry. Most crime is amongst gang on gang and criminal on criminal. Our Kgb or Xidens fbi conflate numbers to push gun laws. The vibrant communities are violent because of those communities residents lack if values and respect for life. Most of our crime is in blue states and blue cities ,democrats breed degenerative behavior
Yes, it's nice to have this right but not many people choose to gett a gun because it's actually quite safe here. Only 2,8% of czech people have a license.
@@kripolik ne protože je to tu bezpečné, ale proto že i když nekoho střelíte v sebeobraně tak se to muže ukázat jako nepřiměřená reakce nebo síla, takže ještě by jste si za tu sebeobranu šel sednout nebo platil odškodný, proto radši nosím nože i když u těch hrozí to samí jen trochu míň, ale jak říká kámoš je dobrý se naučit box nebo neco takového, protože stačí jedna dobrá rána a cápek je K.O. a taky je lepší kvůli zákonům protože nepoužíváte zbraň ale jen svojí sílu.
We also have concealed carry allowed in Slovakia (Czech republic neighboring country). Its not so easy like "you pass a test and get a gun" you have to go through multiple tests,like psychological test,medical exam and also a final exam at the police station,its not easy,but much easier than many other countries,but in comparison to Czech,we still have more strict gun laws. (like in Cz you can have suppressor on your gun,in Sk its absolutelly prohibited) I have firearms license myself,but i do not carry,i only plan to use gun at the range,for shooting drills or at work :D For self defense i would go for something non-lethal like a extendable batton or pepper spray/pepper cartridge gun,the reason why is because where i live, the violent crime rate is so low that i dont feel the need-its basically non existent. I also know people who carry a gun mostly when they go in a forest against bear attacks,but do not in public.Thank you,great video! I enjoyed it.
Silencers, lasers and night visions were allowed recently, it was strictly banned here too. I think mayors of villages wanted it because there is some shooting range in almost every village and it makes a lot of noise. I have 2 shooting ranges around me, one is mostly silent, it's not for public, only for their club and they don't shoot often there, but there is police shooting range like 3 km away and even when it is 3 km, I clearly hear that almost every day, I am so used to it that if war started here, I will not even notice that. 😀 I think they even shoot full auto there.
@@Pidalin I know,i heard that silencers and lasers,IRNV/FLIR optics were allowed in CZ. I would love it if they did it same way here. Its similar in Slovakia,near my town there is an old police shooting range that is now used as low-caliber range for hunters to train their aim,but its still kinda loud,because the town i live in is in a valley,so the sound echoes everywhere :D It also is great if you needed to use a gun in self defense,you wont go deaf if you use 9mm and larger caliber when not using a silencer and have no time to put hearing protection on.
@@existenz_svk2639 When it's possible here, it's possible even in Slovakia, just wait few years, maybe they will allow it too, we tend to have very similar laws. My near police shooting range is unfortunately one of the biggest and most bussy in whole country, sometimes I feel like during D-day in Normandy. 😀
@@Pidalin Well,i dont know about that,our current gov (possibly the most hated in history ever) had actually made it more strict than before... and mostly added more tideus paperwork that makes no sense. (you have to register "oversized" MAGAZINES!! WTF???? :D and have more papers for long semi-auto rifles) But who knows,we will see :D Oh god,i believe you. That would be driving me crazy untill i would get used to it after a while. I live like 100m from footbal field that gets loud and busy during summer and i consider even that annoying :D
Just recently came across these videos and I gotta say, as an American, it's good to see that I have at least ONE other freedom loving country I could possibly go to if all else failed. Without the ability to defend yourself, you're helpless and dependent on the state. Anyone that's comfortable with this does not know history. You all obviously do. God love ya!!
This video makes it seem like everyone around here carries a gun but in reality only 2,9% of czech people have a license. I don't have a gun and I never felt a need to have it because it's actualy quite safe here. I'm a woman who lives in a big city and often walks home alone at night and there were only few instances when I felt uncomfortable or unsafe.
@@kripolik You're somewhat missing the point. The point isn't "everyone carries" or "it's super dangerous so you better carry"...it's that you are FREE TO CARRY if you choose.
@@rmp5s yes I know what's the point. I was just saying how is it in reality. Only a small percentage of people here have a gun because there's not really a point in owning it.
@@rmp5s In US there is 120.5 guns per 100 residents. In Czechia it's 8.7 guns per 100 residents (3 guns per person with a license). That's a huge difference in number of guns.
Respect. I am a gun lover and owner from Serbia, but we honest people and legal gun owners have almost no right to self-defense, criminals are in a privileged position here, especially if they are dealing with politicians and corrupt police, which is the rule here. In Serbia, people usually go to prison for self-defense.
I am from south africa I own a cz 75 b now for 22 years very good pistol I just love it and trust my life with it I would love to own a cz sp01 just beautiful
Really great 2 part series. It's quite interesting how similar the reasons are for gun ownership to the arguments made in the US. Nobody talked about 'natural rights' like they might in the US but that's somewhat rare even here. I was especially surprised to see the argument for the militia as a means to the defense of the nation and community coming from a Czech woman, of all people, in the second part. She even directly referenced Ukraine, which does not get referenced enough in relation to the need for gun rights. A rifleman behind every blade of grass is why no nation would succeed in an invasion of both the US and Switzerland.
In Poland we do have exactly the same regulations. After you obtain your FL you can buy and carry every gun you only want to with every equipment you only want to. Folding, belt feded, high capacity drum, saw off barrel, silencer etc. - what ever you want to. Obtaining of sporting or collectors FL is not hard. The only restriction is for full-auto guns. Obtaining of FL for full-auto guns is possible too, but it is a lttle harder and pretty expencive. Replicas of firearms before 1875 are FL-free. No limitation on cold weapons, you can carry five butterfly knifes, four daggers, two swords and a katana in the street if you only want to,)) The only restriction is the cold weapons have to look like a weapons if you want to carry them, so no cane swords etc.
Hey My Fiance is from Poland, and as an American I might end up living there in a couple years. But as she was telling me the firearms restrictions seemed pretty strict. Probably about the same as the State I live in unfortunately. My biggest gripe with moving to Poland would be me losing out on the ability of owning firearms, I absolutely love the country and always love going there. Would you by any chance be able to part some more knowledge or be able to give some info on where to research about the restrictions and abilities you have in Poland?
@@gravyfabbs._ The fire arms regulations for EU citizens are in Poland the same as for Poles. The regulations for USA citizens might be more complicated. I am not an expert)) I would say, the best way for you to be sure is to ask your girl-friend she or any friend of her who lives in Poland shall go (better go than call) to the police departament what is in charge for fire arms licences and just gain the detailled information conserning your case right there. In every Województwo (administrative region in Poland) in charge for fire arms licences is: Komenda Wojewódzka Policji, Wydział Postępowań Administracyjnych. In Warszawa it a little different and in charge is: Komenda Stołeczna Policji Warszawa, Wydział Postępowań Administracyjnych. It is possible the police will be not able to answer all your questions in a clear way at the firts visit. After the first visit I would recommend to write down an official letter with yor questions. Your girl-friend shall bring this letter to the police and let the police to testify the receive and date of receive on a copy of the letter. I would recommend to do this even when you gain orally all clear answers. But when you write - Police is obliged to give you an written answer too. And you know, witten is written)) The first visit is good to know what exactly to ask in the written way.
I'm czech and I never even thought about what kind of gun laws we have here so it kinda surprised me we can carry guns. Thinking about it I have only one friend who I know enjoys going to the shooting range but I have no idea if she has her own gun. Besides that I don't know anyone who has any kind of interest in guns. But it makes sence, only 2,9% of czech people has a license to carry a gun.
As a Texan I will consider getting a dual citizenship with the Czech Republic. Love the country and the people and Texas is getting over ran with “less desirable” people.
Excellent video, thanks. Here in Chile we can buy guns to protect our homes, but only after a tedious process. Despite the law permit to get a carry license, it´s almost impossible authorities let you to get it
Guns slap in CZ. Only issue is common guns in the states (like AR15s) are MAD expensive. Also, it's a common bad argument when someone asks "do we still need it". Yes. Yes we do. Humans have been trying to invade, subjugate and kill other humans since we could breathe. No one thought there would be an actual war going on in Europe in Modern Times but hell, look at Russia and Ukraine. The only thing keeping government from stepping on their people is the fear that they might get seriously checked if they do. It's one of the reasons the US hasn't gone full on totalitarian yet and why they're trying so damn hard to kill our 2A.
well thing is to do that you would have to get several "papers" required for gun licensing process from your government - most importantly full copy of your criminal record so unless your governemnt can declare in some way that our police would accept that you dont have any criminal record you are bit out of luck there
Main lesson from this video is that you can have a flashlight in your pocket, but as long as you reach for it with confidence, most altercations can be avoided because the attackers will think you are armed.
This makes me feel incredibly sad as an Aussie, as I will probably never be able to own a semi-automatic or fully-automatic here, or even freaking airsoft! Glad to now have an example of a safe, civilised country with out restrictions on gun types, and not be America.
Yes, yes, yes. Readiness, preparedness and responsibility. That´s me as Czech bus driver with my Beretta 92FS on my left hip and my PM Makarov on my appendix (with some other "stuff" like knife and Fenix flashlight and spare mags.) as my EDC :D
I might have to live in Czech for a bit with this type of freedom. I’ve always thought it was cool to live in Europe but me being the knife carrying soon to be gun carrying American I am some of the countries were off the list.
Can I advise you? Don't carry a knife for self-defense, it's the worst thing you can use. You are more likely to be stabbed than the attacker, it's hard to defend in court and knife fights always end in hospital for both of you. The best thing you can carry for self defense besides a firearm are tazers and batons.
Same in Poland. Sport shooters (requires some exams, whole proces is easier than getting driver license) by default are allowed to concealed carry with round in a chamber.
Reasonable access to firearms and still able to visit/live in Czech urban areas without worrying about accidentally wandering into a gang warfare no-go zone??? Shocking... almost like the gun isnt the problem or something...
Yep, it honestly feels great when I can use my own country as an counter argument to that. That it never was the guns, but socio economic factors. That said, due to socio economic factors, I'd say some countries cannot currently afford this kind of liberty, at least not until they fix the underlying issues.
growing up in the 1940's almost every household had guns,boys learned at 12 Y.O. how to safely use and shoot a gun usually a .22LR rifle, there were even school fun clubs. There was no robberies, or gun violence in our neighborhoods, everyone got along and watched each others properties and children. We rarely even heard about bank or store robberies. If you can't own a weapon like today's criminal infested cities, you are definitely a helpless target that is the reason why there is so many robberies and violent crimes. Guns are completely safe in the hands of an instructed, normal sane person. They can protect your family, friends and neighbors lives . Criminals get their guns illegally unlike licensed gun owners.
This just shows that gun violence in the US is a societal issue, not a gun issue. Yes, Czechia has had shootings, but nations with strict gun laws have also had shootings.
@@freetominternational8940 Should you want to meet another (bit older) couple from CR to see some more arsenal or the way we train on our outside shooting range, let me know. We can arrange something.
The gun she carries is available in 9mm Kurz (short0 which is .380. But also in 9mm Makarov which has a little more stank. Small and VERY snappy.

Even from people that have the 'gun permit' and 'concealed carry permit', only a small portion ever do that. I would guestimate that maybe 1-5% of the rightful permission owners do that regularly. The key for these things to be possible is that everything is registered, there are also rules on how to keep the guns and ammo at home so it is not like Texas but it could work anywhere else, unlike limiting magazine sizes that the EU commission considers a solution against attackers with illegal guns.
What a great documentary, I hope soon the infringement of the EU gun directive is reversed, so we other can enjoy also of this essential right! Greetings from a fellow gun owner from Spain
@@radicaledwards3449 I'm not sure how it was back then but now it is pretty difficult to get a concealed carry license. At least we can have ARs etc. without to much effort.
Funny how she wonders why people care less about her having other weapons and then proceeds to tell the reason behind it - "Because gun are more effectice!" That's the f-cking point lol
I'm not comfortable with the fact that the state know all about my firearms so it can take it away from me. But it is still the best we can have in Europe.
they literally cannot unless they change the laws ... Police would have to have a reason to revoke your license and/or confiscate any firearms and those reasons are clearly stated in the laws. So unless you are unhinged lunatic or criminal you have nothing to fear ... on the other hand the guns being licensed, registered and with balistic tests right out of the factory means those guns are useless for any criminal or even you if you were to commit any crime with them as the second the cops get sa single bullet or casing its getting tied to the gun. sure its not "perfect" but its very much prefferable to guns not being registered which would require much stronger regulation elsewhere
Here in Texas as of 2021 we can own any number of guns and silencers, homemade artillery, class 2 armored vehicles, combat aircraft in the countryside. As long as they do not leave Texas they are perfectly legal. We even have what are known as "Blast Parks" for fireworks and said homemade artillery.
In contrary UK or others with twisted law for example- Somebody running on street with kitchen knife stabbing people?? He wont be making it far for sure over here.
I really like those Czech women. We need more of that kind people over here in the USA. It is a relatively safe country and the people are allowed to carry guns. I suspect there is a connection. We are fighting a horrendous battle in the USA against the most powerful forces in the world. These are people that get the USA to invade foreign countries and even assassinate presidents with impunity, both here and abroad.
Many comments here are commenting on how everyone in Czech can get easily gun. No you have to pass strict test, and you have to register your gun. Also you can loose your licence easily. And if you will have unregistered gun , you will go to jail. Also compare to US 100:120 (120 guns per 100 people) we have only 5 guns per 100 people.
The challenge is how to streamline that process to make it more accessible for people. Is the process long and/or expensive? DO you know if a person can get back their license after a period of time or something?

When someone here in the US "asks" me the same question that you posed in the beginning of this video, "Is it still necessary to have this freedom [to own and carry guns] in this civilized world?", I answer calmly with a question. How can you claim that we live in a civilized world? Have you ever watched the news? Where is this civilized world that you speak of? I am willing to have the discussion but I am a survivor of an attempted murder and a couple of other violent incidents, so...

depends what you mean by gun culture. I'd say we have struggled with a culture of violence during our entire short history, and gun culture is a symptom of that, not a cause.
Unfortunately, you must be a citizen or at least a permanent resident of the Czech Republic. Then you need a medical certificate from a Czech doctor. You must successfully pass a theoretical and practical exam. Then you will get a firearms licence. Only after that you can buy a long gun and you have to register it. You still need a purchase permit for a short gun. But you can't take the weapons out of the country either and you can only entrust them to a person with a firearms licence.
There IS pressure to DO this, but I've never heard a Party spokesperson say so on the 'News'. Current President (retiring soon) and his wife both have permits. A Periodical magazine stated that she carries. FWIW.
quite the opposite, there is "pressure" from the rest of the EU to make our gunlaws stricter ... which resulted in rework of the law to comply with "EU mandate" that ... improved the access to the guns to licensees (we werent allowed supressors or use hollowpoint ammunition for self defense before that change ...) while "technically" following the requirements of the EU (they wanted us to band "high capacity magazines" and "military style long guns" ) by "technically" banning what they wanted by creating subcategories that are "banned" unless an EXCEPTION is issued ... which is then issued on "if you ask for it you get it" ... so we have to ask for permission to have an "exception" which is then automatically approved. we then had a change to our constitution - which is rare and require for basically all politic parties in the parliament to agree - to include "right to defend self or others with a firearm" into it now dont take it as some "second ammendment" because it isnt, it only affirms that state recognises at constitutional level that people are allowed to defend theyr lives and/or property "according to the law" which means that if the law changed the abovementioned constitutional line would be basically meaningless what it did is send a clear signal to the EU that we wont be following theyr BS and if they push us on this we will change the constitution to "fix" the problem - which is legally above the power of EU to challenge. havent heard anything about the "gun law issue" since.

The teacher's comment about walking calmly and confident actually goes a long way towards criminals. In police work we call it command presence, where you have to show confidence and at least act like you know what you're doing. It tends to calm others down and people have less of a tendency to try anything. It doesn't mean acting like a jerk, just exuding a professional attitude that crooks tend to pick up on.
