The police are allowed to make a home inspection of the safe. An inspection must be announced more than 48 hours in advance, and the police are only allowed to see the safe and make sure it is legally installed. Ammunition is generally only sold to persons with valid weapon license. However, if one is in possession of a legally unregistered shotgun bought before 1 April 1990, and is in the hunter registry, one can purchase shotgun ammunition by showing a firearms license or a hunting permit at the place of purchase. Without a special permit only 10,000 rounds of ammunition can be stored by a single person, or 15,000 rounds if 5,000 of them are .22 LR or smaller calibre. Older rules stated that the ammunition must be locked away separately, but these rules were abandoned in the latest revision of the weapons act. Transportation The owner must always have a good reason to bring the weapon to a public place. Such reasons include transportation to a range or hunting area, transportation for repairs, or for maintenance and hobby activities. During transportation, the weapon must be empty and concealed, but not worn on the body, and under the constant supervision of the owner. This applies equally to replicas, air guns and decommissioned firearms. Homeloading Homeloading is legal in Norway if you have a weapon license. You can only load for calibres you have a weapon license on or a “loan permit”. You can have up to 5kg of smokeless powder in your house and a maximum of 10,000 primers. You can also have 3kg of black powder outside of your house in maximum 1kg boxes, hence you can have three 1kg boxes. They needed to be stored in the original plastic container and stored in a wooden box with walls separating the containers. It can’t also be stored in a room with open heat source like a fireplace or oven Firearm ownership As of 2017 there are 1,329,000 (or 25 per 100 people) registered firearms owned by 486,028 (or 36% of population) people in Norway.
