On this chart Norway would also be listed with 29 guns per person. These are owned by only 10% of the population however

Wait, so you're saying the average Norwegian gun owner owns 290 guns? That sounds very implausible.

Yeah, the numbers seem wild to me. I live in Norway. I have family who lives up north among polar bears, so they have gun for bear protection. My in-laws do some hunting, so they have a few hunting rifles. I feel like my family and in-laws are far above the regular citizens when it comes to gun count per person, but it still averages to around 0.5 guns per person among us. I don't know anyone in Norway who owns a gun to defend against other humans. Who are these 10%?
