Gun laws in Delkora

Gun laws in Delkora are considered highly restrictive, with extensive regulations governing the registration and sale of guns, types of guns that can be owned, and strict storage requirements. Civilian gun ownership is governed by the Firearm Act of 1994.

Licensing and registration

Citizens are eligible to apply for a Federal Firearm Permit provided they are at least 21 years old and do not have a criminal record, a history of severe mental illness, or a history of substance abuse. Applicants are required to submit to a psychological evaluation and an extensive background check which includes a police interview as well as interviews with the applicant's family and associates. Permits are issued on a may issue basis, with local police authorities making the final decision on whether or not to grant a permit. When applying for a permit, applicants must provide a valid reason for gun ownership, which can be one of the following:

	Reason	Description
1	Hunting	Applicant must possess a valid hunting permit and can only purchase guns appropriate for the types of game that will be hunted.
2	Sport Shooting	Applicant must be a documented member of a recognized sport shooting organization and possess a valid sport shooting permit.
3	Occupational	The applicant is required to carry a firearm as part of their normal work duties. This applies mostly to private security workers; firearm possession by police and military personnel is governed by separate legislation.
4	Collecting	For ownership of antique firearms, defined as those manufactured before 1900.

After completing the above steps, the applicant must pass a firearm training course and a multiple-choice exam. These must be retaken every five years in order to renew the permit. Civilian firearms are registered with the federal Ministry of the Interior upon purchase. The Ministry maintains a national database of all civilian-owned firearms including their owner, location, and authorized use. It is illegal for a person or business to sell a firearm to an individual who does not have a valid permit.

In the event a firearm owner becomes ineligible to possess a firearm, their permit lapses, or they demonstrate warning signs of violent behavior, police can confiscate their firearms pursuant to a court order.

Storage and transfer

Guns must be securely stored in a person's residence in an approved safe that is bolted down. Police are allowed to inspect a person's firearms and firearm safes to ensure they adhere to regulations; inspections can be conducted not more than once every six months, and police must give the owner 72 hours notice of an impending inspection. Firearms can only be transported in public in connection with legally authorized uses or when transferring ownership. While in transport, they must be locked up and concealed in a vehicle. Guns may not be carried on one's person in public.

Banned firearms

Certain categories of firearms are illegal for civilian possession without exception, including automatic firearms, semi-automatic rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and firearms disguised as another object. Handguns, revolvers, and other easily concealed guns are allowed but subject to extensive regulations, while bolt action shotguns and airsoft guns are subject to relatively light regulation.

Other regulations

Armor-piercing rounds, extended magazines, silencers, bump stocks, and any other device which can be equipped to a firearm to enable fully automatic firing are prohibited.
