2) Outline of the Control
i. Content of the Control
Licenses for possession of firearms are issued for specific guns for certain applications such as hunting or eradication of noxious birds or animals, etc. Persons with criminal records, and drug addicts, etc. are disqualified and cannot be issued licenses. Furthermore, concealed guns and structural parts and/or functions of the same which do not meet legal standards are not allowed.

The registration of firearms is available for old-fashioned guns such as matchlock type firearms which are valuable as works of art or antiques (generally those manufactured before 1867 in Japan or brought to Japan from overseas).
