Gun sales have jumped 350 per cent in Austria amid 'unease' over increasing numbers of migrants following the Paris terror attacks, firearm dealers have claimed.

The final months of 2015 showed increases in gun permit applications, while dealers reported huge demand for self defence weapons such as tasers, pepper spray and blank firing-guns.

In October, shotguns were reported to have almost sold out across the entire country.

'Virtually all shotguns are currently sold out, because you need no permit for them', said Thomas Ortner, spokesman for an arms dealer in Upper Austria.

Surprises me not in the least. I'm pleased to know that at least some kind of firearms purchases are still legal and alive over there. Hopefully Austria will relax their laws to include rifles and pistols.
