Most places? Places like what? Even Germany, with its rather restrictive gun laws, has exemptions for private security companies allowing to carry weapons.

While I don't know any specifics, I doubt that it's gonna be that much more difficult, in Eastern Europe out of all places, to get a legal carry permit.

The current wave of crime in parts of the Ukraine is, I shit you not, grenade violence. I’m inclined to agree with you.

which is ironic as the RAF was a fairly hopeless terrorist organization that did not carry out many actions

I met an old school mate years ago she was working as a PA for deutsche bank in the uk and she mentioned that the senior mangers where annoyed as the UK would not allow them to have armed body guards.
