Slovenians are arming themselves more and more

The article reports on an increase in firearm-related incidents in Slovenia, citing police interventions involving firearms at private residences. Official data indicates a rise in both the number of firearm owners and registered weapons in the country during the first half of the year. Despite an amnesty campaign where citizens surrendered 223 pistols and 117 rifles along with over 30,000 rounds of ammunition, the overall numbers of registered firearms and owners have continued to grow. The article highlights specific cases, including a man shooting at his property and another incident involving attempted murder and suicide with firearms. It notes that while legal firearm ownership remains largely in the hands of individuals, there are still instances of criminal acts involving legally owned weapons.
