Concealed carry in another country

It's hard enough to figure out the gun laws in this country, written in my native language. I'm not about to try to figure out on my own how to have a weapon in another country. If I were going to go hunting out of the country I would go with some sort of tour group where they walk you through the process and know all the laws because it is their business to do so. As far as carrying for personal protection, I can't think of any country where one could do so as a visitor unless under the auspices of being a gov't employee, such as FBI, Secret Service or military. I would guess that in the few places you could carry a firearm, you would need to be a resident alien to do so. Anybody know of any place?

on canada gun website, there is a form for declaring a weapon for non-resident. If I am a citizen with permit adn qualified and I am just visiting then I guess I have to pay some fees and get it approved by them before I go there.

I'm reminded of my last trip to Canada. Crossing into Canada, they had signage to the effect of "Welcome to Canada - please leave your guns and narcotics at home." Upon returning to the States, the sign said "please leave your Cuban tobacco products at home." Bring all the guns and drugs you like, I guess. They ought to add"Bienvenidos a los Estados Unidos" at this rate...
