Ottonia
1 The Treaty of Ottonia codifies a right for Ottonian nationals to possess a weapon for the defense of home and family. This is generally not considered to extend beyond a person's domicile or personal property, and with uncommon permitted exceptions, firearms are not permitted to be carried by private persons in public spaces.
2 Self-defense laws in the Ottonia generally carry an obligation to retreat, and attempting to "Stand Ground" in any area outside the home is likely to result in arrest on manslaughter charges unless it can be proven that attempting to retreat would either put the defender in greater danger, or would do nothing to alleviate the danger. However, all of the Ottonia, as well as the federal government, broadly recognize castle doctrine. As a result, an instance of self-defense inside one's home or on one's private property is highly unlikely to result in a conviction on homicide charges, and even prosecution on such charges is rare in such instances.
3 Self-loading weapons are generally banned for private persons in public spaces. Those carrying an honorable discharge or on reserve service in the Ottonian Federal Defense Service or Ottonian Federal Guard may apply for a permit to keep a self-loading long-arm in the home, pending mental evaluation and the ability to store the weapon to an adequate degree of safety. Strict limitations are in place on the amount of ammunition that may be stored for such weapons and the number of spare detachable magazines that may be kept. For a private person, a permit for home storage of a self-loading firearm may be issued for those who have reason to believe they or their families may be in greater danger than the average person. In these instances, weapons which make use of detachable magazines are not permitted, and amount of ammunition that may be stockpiled is strictly limited.
4 Handguns of any kind are strictly controlled. Handguns with detachable magazines may be kept by those with an honorable discharge or on reserve service in the Ottonian Federal Defense Service or Ottonian Federal Guard, pending a permit requiring mental evaluation and the ability to store the weapon to an adequate degree of safety. Other private persons may apply for a permit to keep a revolver-style handgun with a magazine capacity not exceeding 6 rounds. The ability to carry a handgun in public requires a concealed carry permit which generally requires the applicant to display a greater personal danger than the average person.
