Selling a weapon: What needs to be communicated with the authorities

Gunfinder Magazine

Sell weapon: Anyone who transfers a firearm requiring a permit to another person must inform the authority in writing to whom they have transferred the weapon. This concerns the authority that issued the firearm ownership card, which is usually the lower hunting authority.

The notification of the sale must contain the surname, first name, date of birth, place of birth and residential address of the purchaser, as well as the type and period of validity of the purchase authorization. Thus, it must be stated here that the weapon was sold, for example, on the basis of a hunting license valid until 31.03.2024. If the weapon is sold to a dealer, it is sufficient to indicate the name of the company and the address. The time limit for this notification to the authority is two weeks- as is, in turn, the time limit for registration of the weapon by the buyer with the authority. Exceeding this deadline is an administrative offense punishable by a fine and is usually reported by the authorities. A non-binding sample purchase agreement for the transfer of firearms requiring a permit from one private individual to another private individual, which can then be adapted to the individual case, can be easily found online.
