13) Article 111 is substituted for the following:

'Article 11. Those who, holding a possession or ownership permit, carry or transfer firearms listed in paragraph b) of Article 2) outside the premises authorised for their possession and ownership and without the permits established in Articles 5 and 6, shall be punished with an administrative fine of 7 to 11 monthly tributary units.

Upon the cancellation of the latter, the sanctioned individuals shall have five working days to hand over the respective firearms to the General Directorate of National Mobilisation, which shall destroy them.
