I. Firearms Licensing Requirements and Restrictions on Use
Applications for permits must be accompanied by a police record and include the photograph and signature of the applicant. The permit itself contains the name, age, profession, nationality, and residence of the licensee; a description of the firearm and the purpose for which it is licensed; the date of issue and expiry of the permit; and any conditions imposed on the use of the firearm. A licensee may occasionally be required to resubmit information and records previously provided with the application for a permit and to notify the authorities of a change of address. When a licensee loses or relinquishes his firearm by sale or other form of transfer to another licensee or gun merchant, he is required to inform the authorities and hand them his permit for endorsement. The new owner must present the firearm to the authorities for identification purposes. [Article 5].
