I would do, same if I would had CCW.
But, in practical terms not carrying visible, goes like this:
Hunters have "to own and to carry" license. (as opposed to "to own license") as two different firearm licensing types at my place..
So, if someone for example shoulders the hunting rifle on the sling, and say start walking with rifle on the shoulder to his hunting area alongside the road, he will start following scenario.
Most probably, the first "concerned" citizen would report this to police.
Next what would happen he will be surrounded by SWAT within minutes, and hunting rifle confiscated together with all his guns at home, a day later.
He wouldn't make half mile walking alongside the road with rifle, in most cases, after first few cars pass by and notice a person walking with the rifle.
That is the implementation.
So, hunting license "to own and to carry" means, loaded rifle on shoulder only during the hunt, in his hunting area for which he has hunting permit. Transport to hunting area (or to the range, or to the gunsmith), in the bag or suitcase, empty, separated from ammo. For this license an EU firearms pass will be issued on request
Self defense license, "to own and to carry" means carrying concealed in urban and other areas. Rarely issued, special cases. No EU pass for this.
Self defense license ("to own" ) means keeping gun at home, plus travelling to range or gunsmith, empty, in the bag or suitcase separated from ammo. More frequently issued, type of license. no EU pass for this.
Sport shooting license ("To own", only option), means transport empty gun, in a bag, or suitcase, separated from ammo, in car trunk, from home to the range, and back, or from home to the gunsmith and back. For this license EU pass will be issued.
Collectors license means. keep guns locked at home, transport empty in bags or suitcases to gunsmith or exhibitions, and not allowed to have ammo for them. No EU pass (to my knowledge)
majority of European legal gun owners live by these rules.
there are some differences from country to country, but not too much.
