Table 9.2 - Overview of Prohibited and Restricted Firearms for Civilian Possession
Yemen:
- No types of firearm are restricted or prohibited for civilian use. The law divides 'arms' into two categories: 'personal' or civilian firearms, including 'rifles, machine guns, revolvers and hunting rifles' and 'military' weapons or weapons for state security institutions, which covers everything else.
- Penalty for Possessing Prohibited Firearm:
- Registration: details of the licence, permit, or authorization must be recorded - plus traders keep a record of transfers and report this to the licensing authority every 3 months; and the Ministry of the Interior keeps a register of seized firearms
