About this statute

This provision says the law sets procedures for acquiring, carrying, making, selling, storing, and obtaining arms and ammunition. This article defines key terms used in the law on firearms and ammunition. Most possession or carriage of firearms needs a written license from the Commissioner General of the National Police, except firearms meant for the Rwanda Defense Forces or National Police. The firearm possession-and-carry license is subject to an annual fee set by Presidential Order. The National Police may permanently or temporarily revoke a firearms possession or carriage license if the firearms or ammunition are used illegally or threaten public order.
