Hunting, sport shooting, self-protection: the motivation of the 28,088 Carinthian gun owners is different. But together they are hoarding, and this is new this year, 103,820 “shooting irons” – more than ever before.
For the first time since statistics began, the number of registered weapons in private households in Carinthia has risen above 100,000. There are exactly 103,820 “shooting irons” that are officially reported. Naturally, the number of registered gun owners has risen steadily in recent years.
We asked why these Carinthians buy which weapons and how they store them. The police are critical of the development (see interview with Rainer Dionisio, press officer of the LPD Carinthia).
