The new legislative provisions on the shooting range laws and firearm storage will come into force in December.
If a licensee firearm carrier has more than five firearms in possession, they have to be stored in a safe closet or approved storage facilities at the police department. The acquisition of the safe cabinet has a five-year transition period.
The establishment and maintenance of ordinary shooting ranges will in the future become subject to licencing.
The so-called low shooting ranges, where up to 10,000 rounds of shots are fire every year, could in the future be set up by a mere declaration.
