I’m confused—I thought Norway required all adult males to own a gun. If that’s so, I wonder why someone there couldn’t stop the killer. Of course, this probably happened in one of thoseI “Gun Free Zones”....

Just a brief, but I believe a permit is required for any firearm.
Switzerland.
You may be thinking of Switzerland, where all able bodied male citizens are considered to be members of the Reserves. They are required to have their infantry weapon home, and ready to be called up at a moments notice.
