Even before the 1991 - 1995 conflict Croatia had a high level of civilian ownership of guns, particularly for hunting. For example, in 1989, a total of 299,586 weapons were registered in a population of 4.6 million. (1)

However, many weapons were bought during the conflict and later legalized and registered by their owners, bringing the total in 2002 to 394,419 legally registered weapons in a population of 4.2 million. (2) It is therefore clear that, after the war, Croatia experienced a significant growth of civilian legal armaments.
