Weapons possession card
Performance specification
If you want to acquire a weapon, you need a weapon possession card for this purpose. The authorisation to purchase ammunition must be registered separately. The weapons possession card does not include permission to carry the weapon outside of your home or business premises, your contented property or a shooting range outside of the purpose covered by the respective need. You are only entitled to do so with the "weapons licence" in conjunction with the weapons possession card.
