The law gave Kuwaitis a grace period of four months that expired on Monday, exempting anyone who hands over their weapons to the interior ministry from prosecution. By Monday night, 3,250 various weapons had been handed over in addition to more than eight tons of ammunition. Around 3,800 gun permits were also issued over the same period.
