Duration of the firearms license
We report what the Honorable Member published on his social account Barbara Mazzali (Brothers of Italy), regional councilor of the Lombardia: “Dear friends, I hope to do something useful for all hunters by pointing out a misunderstanding that is involving many of us. Many people in possession of the license are going to renew their document (for hunting or skeet shooting), convinced that it has expired after one validity of 5 years, while in reality its validity is still 6 years.
What the law says
So let's clarify the legislation, so that no one is wasting time. Legislative decree 104 of 2018, which transposed the European directive of 2017, has established that gun ports for hunting and clay shooting must have a duration of no more than 6 years, but rather 5 years. However, the rule does not have retroactive validity, therefore they are valid for 5 years ONLY i weapons ports issued after 14 September 2018 (date of entry into force of Legislative Decree 104). All weapons ports released BEFORE 14 September 2018 continue to be valid for 6 years ".
