In order to do so one must have a license for a gun or rifle. Today one must go through a special education in order to be able to get a permit to own a gun, or a permit to by a type of gun one not already possesses. Therefore the Swedish Hunting School is as natural for new hunters as getting a drivers license to teenagers. In fact this is a very common thing to do. The hunter leases the right to hunt and then also gets the tight to keep the prey.
Restrictions are rigorous about handling and keeping weapons in Sweden.
Any gun or rifle must be securely locked in a safety box. If one can temporarily not meet up to these restrictions one must keep the vital part of the rifle apart from the rest of the rifle. When travelling across someone else's land where one does not have hunting permission, the rifle must be placed so that it cannot be reached during the drive and shells must be taken out of the barrel. There are also regulations on the types of guns that are allowed during hunting. Multiple shell shotguns are for example not allowed.
