Perhaps that's changed.
Most probably they were speaking for a military and/or police personel.....from testemonies from my friend who works in police I can recall that after the 91 war some units were alowed to possess full auto weapons in home care...to cover urgent scenarios....
But even the toughest and the most trained guys can break down sometimes (alcohol abuse....ex wife....whatever the reason)
So they discontinued that practice shortly after the incident or two....
Only special police unit is now allowed to possess full auto weapons at home (often only those who are on duty/stand by for a FUBAR scenarios)
As a citizen you are not allowed to carry anything (thanks god because I dont want to be living in wild wild west
)
There are some exceptions (if you are under protection).....but IF you have/are allowed to cary anything....you are already dead
