Relevant contents

(…) Civilian possession of firearms in Albania is regulated by the Law "On weapons" (consolidated version 2020). Domestic violence as well as behaviours that violate order and security in the community (Article 34) are explicitly considered as grounds for the rejection of an application, if:

1. The applicant is identified as a person who has been involved in the violent opposition of any police officer, public servant or as committing the criminal offence of domestic violence having as subject matter the revenge or blood feud; as well as a person that behaves in violation of order and security in the community,
2. The applicant has been legally convicted for domestic violence as a criminal offence,
3. The applicant has been prosecuted with an inconclusive decision for committing various crimes, including domestic violence,
4. Security measures have been imposed against the applicant.

The same conditions that apply for firearm acquisition are also applicable to ammunition acquisition.
