Changes to the Firearm Licensing Process
November 6, 2025
The Parliament approved changes to the process of issuing licenses for firearms. Now, the Chief of Police will be responsible for deciding on the granting or revocation of licenses, instead of the Cabinet. The applicant must justify their request, and the Chief of Police can seek opinions from relevant experts. Depending on circumstances, the Chief can suspend or revoke licenses without further procedures. These changes are expected to enhance public order and safety.
