Citizens are reminded that the illegal possession and carrying of firearms and ammunition creates criminal liability under the legislation. Voluntary surrender of such items exempts one from personal liability.
“Citizens are advised to immediately inform police authorities about unused or illegally held weapons and ammunition. This is important both in terms of avoiding legal liability and contributing to the protection of public safety. Operational and preventive measures by police officers to detect and seize illegal weapons and ammunition are ongoing,” the MIA stated.
