Apply for a small firearms license

The small firearms license entitles you to carry alarm, irritant or signal weapons with a mark of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB mark). It is not permitted to carry these weapons at public amusements, public festivals, sporting events, trade fairs, exhibitions, markets or similar public events such as demonstrations, public processions, etc.

With a small firearms license and a valid identity card or passport, you can generally carry these weapons outside your own home, business premises, pacified property (e.g. a fenced or hedged property) or a shooting range.

The small firearms license is valid indefinitely and without explicit restrictions to certain occasions or areas. Non-compliance constitutes a criminal offense and is punishable by a fine or imprisonment. Holders of a valid hunting license do not require a small firearms license to carry alarm, irritant and signal weapons within the hunting grounds. They may fire these weapons within the scope of authorized hunting activities (e.g. hunting dog training, game damage prevention, hunting protection). In this respect, the hunting license is already a permit.
