Apply for a firearms licence if you have a firearms ownership card for a shooting club

Read aloud

If your shooting club already has a gun ownership card and you want to purchase other firearms requiring a permit in addition to the weapons registered there for the club, you will need a permit to do so. The permit is issued by the competent authority by means of an entry in the firearms possession card (pre-entry). With the pre-registration, you have one year to acquire the registered weapon that requires a permit.

In the application for a permit for the further acquisition of a firearm, you only need to specify what type of weapon with which caliber you want to acquire. Further information, such as manufacturer and exact model, is not required for the time being. You do not have to provide this information until you have acquired the weapon and comply with your obligation to report the acquisition of the weapon to the competent authority. The gun dealer must also notify you of the surrender of the weapon.

You will need to prove that you can safely store the weapon you intend to acquire.
