Article 25:
Authorisations and permits … may be revoked at any time by the authority which issued them, or by court due to abuse, or when public safety is threatened.
In case of revocation, the firearm or firearms, as well as ammunition held, are seized and stored in the depot of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo at the place indicated by the competent authority.
When the confiscation is ordered the sale of firearms and ammunition is necessarily carried out by mutual agreement and at their market value, by the firearms dealer designated by the judge.
[Note: This is the Proposed Act to amend the Ordinance 'Law No 085/035 of September 3, 1985, on the Regime of Arms and Ammunition', in line with the Nairobi Protocol for the Prevention, Control and Reduction of Small Arms and Light Weapons. The first 30 articles of the 2010 Proposed Act are relatively unchanged from the 1985 Law.]
