Behaviour, uniforms and the law
On reenactment events, it is allowed to wear german uniforms, such as a SS uniform with runes and so on... In public however, it is not allowed to wear any symbols from the third Reich (swastika, runes, etc.). It is likewise not allowed to wear any symbols from the Soviet time (red star, "serp i molot", lenin portrait, etc.).Firearms laws
By Estonian law, there are only live firers or fully deactivated firearms. In the law, there are no blank firers.
On our events with shooting, we use partly deactivated (deactivated barrel, can't fire whith live ammunition, barrel is closed for bullets). This firearm we hire from a museum. It is not allowed to hold such weapons at home.
For addition, we have a law about the working parts of a firearm. Holding these parts (working parts) is too NOT ALLOWED. So, you cannot do any shot with a deactivated bolt. It is possible to hire a bolt from a museum and use it with a deactivated firearm on events as a blank firer.
On events without shooting (for example, living in field, tactical lessons and so on) we carry fully deactivated firearms.
As always, when you're in a foreign country for a reenactment, listen to the natives and follow their advice. Do not draw unnecessary attention to yourself and follow common sense.
