That's not always true.
For example : Ownership of a deactivated machine gun is in most EU countries no problem what so ever. But within the Netherlands it's heavily restricted and strict regulations are made.

Now although you can own and carry such a piece in your country you cann't enter the The Netherlands with it without prior arrangements. Would you do it you risk confiscation and jail.

Knowing that would you risk to take Armour into France given the situation ??

Is there anyone out there who actually knows what is going in France regarding this subject ??
Then I would like to hear it as nobody seems to be able to tell exactly what is allowed and what not.

The last and recent contact with the MVT itself suggested that the French ownership ban was just that, for French nationals. Obviously each member nation can apply different rules.

Those booked to go with the MVT have been cleared by the French authorities, it may be helpful to ask the MVT direct for some background information.

The only people who do actually know (allegedly) what is going on are the French themselves, why not ask them directly ? This would seem sensible for people visiting individually and not under the umberella of a recognised national body on an organised tour.
