I was in Israel last year on business. I had the opportunity to discuss the gun laws with locals. Just FYI, all citizens are required to perform 2 years of military service after high school and during that time, they receive world class training. You are required to register as a gun owner when obtaining a firearm. I was also told something I found interesting. As a registered firearm owner, you are required to produce the weapon any time the police may request it. Should you be unable to do so, you are placed in jail immediately until it is found, no matter how long it may take. Interesting approach to responsible gun ownership. I saw civilians both open carry and concealed carry (they aren't as terribly concerned about 'printing' as we tend to be) while I was there.
