More than you would think.

All countries, even the ones with the most restrictive gun laws, allow their police and military to carry guns.

There are also many countries in the world that have legal mechanisms for private citizens to carry guns for self defense.

In the US, 48 states of the 50 allow concealed carry of firearms, the exceptions being Wisconsin and Illinois. For most of them there is some form of licensing involved and the difficulty of getting a carry permit varies by state. Alaska, Vermont and Arizona do not require permits.

This is also true in Europe. Many countries have permits, but in some places it is more difficult than in others to get one. Here is a short (and probably incomplete) list of European countries which have permit systems:

Bulgaria

Czech Republic

Estonia

Georgia

Germany (very hard to get)

Italy

Latvia

Lithuania

Moldova

Serbia

Most countries in the world allow people to own guns with very few exceptions, like China and Korea.

There are vast differences in the amount of restrictions on gun ownership, however. In many countries private individuals not serving in the military or law enforcement are allowed only hunting arms such as shotguns and single-shot rifles. At the same time, in US owning machine guns and cannon is legal, provided the proper paperwork has been filed with the government.

Some countries, while technically allowing gun ownership, have licensing procedures that are either very complex, very lengthy, very expensive, or all three. This serves to limit ownership as effectively as prohibition.

The US for one. The requirements here are that you be a citizen, a resident alien, OR that you are here legally, and have a hunting license. Most nations that have hunters that come to that nation to visit allow at least certain firearms to be owned by "non-citizens". Big game hunting in Africa, bird hunting in South America, etc. PS- my wife is not a citizen of the US- she is a British subject that is a permanent resident of the US- and she owns firearms legally.

Your question is far too broad to answer. Legal depends on many things- who, the type of gun, etc.
Your question is far too broad for a brief answer. Please reword it, narrow it down, and repost.

Please ask in more specific terms about individual countries. You can't really expect someone to individually research every single nation in the world.
