Hi. Most people do not own guns here. I think the laws are pretty strict on that here. There is not much use for a gun anyway. This photo was taken in Serbia though. I'm not sure what the situation is there on guns.
It does indeed look like HP, I was issued with a Browning Hi-Power in the Marines,it looks so much like one that if this kid pointed this 'lighter' at me I would make a very smelly mess in my underwear !.
