The United Kingdom has tightened firearms regulations through several firearms laws,[380] resulting in a complete ban on automatic firearms and many semi-automatic firearms. Breech-loading handguns are also strictly controlled. [381] There are three types of weapons that require different permits: In 2012, Sierra Leone legalized gun ownership after a 16-year total ban. [160] By law, it is up to authorities to determine whether individuals have good reason to possess firearms. The carrying of loaded weapons is permitted on all types of authorizations, in addition to collection and commemoration permits. The weapons are hidden in a case near the body to carry them. Transportation on public transport is reserved for holders of self-defense permits. It is forbidden to wear it while intoxicated and when participating in public gatherings or mass events. Liberia`s 2015 Firearms and Ammunition Control Act regulates the possession and use of small arms and light weapons in the country. The illegal possession of small arms and light weapons is a first-degree administrative offense and is punishable by up to one year`s imprisonment and confiscation of the illegally held weapon or ammunition. Under the 2010 Arms Control Act, Somaliland residents are allowed to possess firearms for the purpose of defending their lives and property. The law establishes that AK pistols and automatic rifles are allowed, and also mentions that others may be allowed.

Only one weapon of each type may be registered. Possession of more than one weapon of each type must be justified and is granted only to legal persons. Persons over the age of 18 with no criminal history are allowed to register a weapon. The licence must be renewed annually. Citizens and residents can and can register firearms. The sale of firearms is restricted to state dealers and licensed dealers. Weapons of war such as mortars, bombs, chemical weapons and oppressors are prohibited. The open carrying of firearms is prohibited. [Bill 94] The import of firearms is currently not possible due to the UN embargo.

A separate licence is required for each firearm, calibre conversion kit or silencer. There is no codified limit to the number of licences a person can hold, but in practice, a licence holder can possess up to six shotguns, ten handguns or a mixture of eight rifles and handguns. Firearms must be stored in an approved safe. A firearm registered for hunting can be used for sport shooting, but not vice versa. Hunting licences are implicitly limited to rapid-fire weapons or, more rarely, semi-automatic rifles that are „applicable to hunting“ without the latter being strictly defined in the laws, which is controversial. [378] Weapons laws in Hungary are relatively strict and are governed by Law 24/2004,[345] Government Decision 253/2004. (VIII. 31.) and Directive of the Minister of the Interior 49/2004. The law defines a firearm with a muzzle energy greater than 7.5 joules (5.5 ft.5 ft.). A firearms licence may be issued to persons over 18 years of age who do not have a criminal conviction or intellectual disability and who have passed a basic firearms theory or practical test.

Three categories of possession of firearms are allowed: hunting (firearms limited to bolt-action shots and double-barreled rifles), sport shooting (the only restriction is not for fully automatic firearms), self-defence (special permission from the police, very rarely granted in special cases, e.g. owners of gun shops). Sport shooting has gained popularity in recent years, with the number of sports category licenses issued steadily increasing. Government initiatives to popularize shooting sports, such as building shooting ranges and introducing shooting as a sport into the school system, began slowly. Obtaining (and maintaining) a firearms licence is generally expected to be a slow and somewhat inexpensive process, but once a licence is granted and the required annual memberships are paid, annual medical certificates are obtained, and mandatory 2-3 sporting events are attended (for sport shooters), Ownership is quite liberal in terms of the type of firearm one can own. But the news tells a different story: One searches in vain for examples of people who succeed in fending off attackers or stopping crimes with handguns. On the contrary, you see daily headlines in the tabloid press and many stories of murders and occasional shootings. In July, an incident in the northern Serbian village of Zitiste shocked the nation: a jealous husband killed his ex-wife and four others in a bar, injuring 22 others.

If he hadn`t had an illegal gun at home, the night certainly wouldn`t have been so cruel. But he did – and that gun was an AK-47 assault rifle. Handguns greater than .32 calibre can be used conditionally; Fully automatic handguns are prohibited for civilians. Bolt-action rifles greater than .22 calibre, long and semi-automatic rifles over .22 and long rifles with non-removable magazine are conditionally operable; Fully automatic and semi-automatic rifles over 0.22 as well as long rifles with detachable magazines are prohibited. Semi-automatic shotguns and shotguns with barrels between 380 mm and 600 mm (15 and 24 inches) in length are conditionally applicable; Fully automatic shotguns and shotguns with a barrel of less than 380 mm (15 inches) are prohibited. [167] [clarification needed] Rifles and handguns can be held by citizens, but with strict controls. The rules relate to these specific provisions concerning indigenous peoples and improvised weapons. [283] [284] Gun owners in Taiwan must undergo regular inspections every two years, as well as random inspections by police. [285] You can freely purchase category C weapons, but you must report them to the police, but you do not need a license for them: bows, crossbows, air pistols, deactivated weapons, trophies, and those with a kinetic energy greater than 10.5 joules or a round speed greater than 200 m/s. Civilians cannot own military weapons, but they can own long rifles. Handguns can only be used for sport shooting and hunting.

However, in 2012, it was claimed that the police had issued permits to ordinary citizens. [237] Since 1992, no fewer than seven government initiatives have been taken in Serbia to legalize weapons. In it, the state offers a deal to its citizens: bring your weapons, and we will not ask you where they come from. So far, success has been modest — a total of about 100,000 illegal weapons have been sold or legalized; 83,000 of them in 2003 alone. At that time, after the assassination of Prime Minister Zoran Dindic, the police launched a major campaign against organized crime. But since then, Serbian citizens seem to have little reason to hand over more illegal firearms. Automatic rifles are limited to government forces and security companies in Afghanistan. Handguns are allowed, but are usually issued to important people. Non-automatic rifles can be obtained for sports and hunting. The rules for shotguns and antique firearms are very permissive, without the need for a valid reason. Shotguns, including shotguns, are popular as self-defense weapons in some areas. The concealed carrying of firearms is authorized by a Firearms Licence (FCL).

An FCL has the same requirements as an FPC, but the carrier must be at least 21 years old. Only handguns such as pistols and revolvers may be carried concealed. However, up to two handguns can be carried loaded at the same time.
