Not Czech, but I'm familiar with their laws and statistics:
>300,000+ Czechs legally own firearms
>270,000+ have concealed carry permits
>Gun permits are shall-issue
>Machine guns are legal, but the permits are may-issue
>Most gun owners have pistols for personal protection
>No restriction on the number of guns you can own, magazine capacity, or caliber (a 20mm anti-tank rifle is treated the same as a .22 rifle), nor is there a limit on how much ammo you can own; you're required to store your guns and ammo in a safe if you have more than 2 guns or 500 rounds of ammunition
>Hollowpoint ammo is banned in pistols, but legal in rifles and pistol-caliber carbines
>Half the Czech legislature have concealed handgun permits
>There's no equivalent to Castle Doctrine or Stand Your Ground, but neither is there a requirement that you try to flee; if you feel you need to use lethal force, then you're good to use lethal force
>Most common rifles are Vz.58 (semi-auto), AR-15, and bolt-actions (mostly CZ brand)
>Most common pistols are CZ-75 variants, 1911's, and Glocks; revolvers are relatively rare because the Czech attitude is 'more ammo is better'
>Most common machine guns are Cold War-era Czech guns (Vz.58, Vz.61, Vz.24, etc.) and WW2 Soviet and Nazi guns (PPSch-41, MP-40), but modern NATO weapons are also available
>No permit needed for a single-shot or double-barrel black powder weapon, whether a muzzleloader or modern breech-loader, but anything with more than two shots (like a black powder revolver) requires a permit
>Czech government views private gun ownership as a deterrent to invaders like the Soviets and Nazis; when the EU tried to ban civilian guns in 2015, the Czech government told them they wouldn't comply, period
>This constitutional amendment was done specifically as a 'fuck you' to the EU, and several legislators have commented that they want the average Czech to be armed so they can shoot muslim terrorists
>The whole "except as proscribed by law" bit is to cover the requirements for getting a gun permit: they require a background check, a written test demonstrating knowledge of the law and gun safety, a practical test (showing safe handling, disassembly and reassembly of a CZ-75 and a bolt-action rifle, and then basic marksmanship with a .22LR), and a medical exam (retards and the mentally ill are barred from owning guns, and being blind or physically incapable of safely operating the weapon will bar you from getting the permit; no shit, "low intelligence" is a medical condition that can get you rejected)
>Permanent foreign residents can apply for a gun permit; if you are a resident of a member of NATO or the EU, or from Switzerland, it's shall-issue, just as if you were a Czech citizen. If you're from any other country, it's may-issue, and you cannot appeal if rejected. There was a lawsuit because muslim migrants were applying to own guns and getting rejected and they claimed it was 'das racist'; judges said "tough shit, niggers" and upheld the rejection
>Meaning as an American, you can move to the Czech Republic and legally own a gun there, even a machine gun, so long as you are fluent enough in Czech to fill out the paperwork yourself; they don't allow an interpreter or assistant to help with the paperwork, another bar against mudslimes getting guns
