Article 7: Gun licences

(1) A gun licence shall authorise the licensee to possess, purchase, acquire or import, in accordance with the terms thereof—

(a) a firearm or ammunition which in the opinion of the Commissioner can be possessed in safety as a curiosity or ornament;
(b) the following weapons, and ammunition therefor—
(i) a slaughtering instrument;
(ii) a stud gun;
(iii) a starting cannon;
(iv) a Verey pistol or signal gun;
(c) ammunition for a starting pistol.

(2) A gun licence may be granted to a person in charge of any collection of firearms or ammunition which are on display to the public and shall authorise the possession of such firearms for the purposes of such display, and such licence may authorise the possession of any prohibited weapon or prohibited ammunition where the Commissioner is satisfied that such weapon or ammunition has been rendered safe.

(3) A gun licence shall be an annual licence.

[Editor's Note: The Bermuda Government appears to distinguish between 'guns', listed above, and 'firearms', listed in Article 6. These are thus legally distinct terms.]
