@JOL pretty much how it is handled in the Netherlands and Sweden. And probably the rest of Europe, but I am not familiar with those laws. In NL and SE anyone can apply for a license. It requires a reason to own them, most commonly hunting or sport shooting. And an approval by the police that you are not some maniac. And you have to keep them in a safe ofcourse. Self defence is not a valid reason here.
