You can say what you like about the UK and its odd take on gun ownership, and I'm sure that some of you will, but here, before you can even APPLY to own a gun, you have the three-month long probation period in the gun club. Some clubs like six months, BTW. During that time you are accustomed to safe gun-handling at all times, and are tested, too, on gun safety as well as range etiquette. Joining in a shotgun syndicate of like-minded shooters here, called a rough shoot, you are expected to already have taken on board the rules of safe gun handling. Anything else that 100% safety will get you kicked out of the syndicate and the word passed around that you are not a safe shot.
Most places in Europe have a mandatory firearms handling course, especially Germany, where possession of a Waffenbezitzkarte is based on a compulsory safety course.
