SEESAC. 2021 ‘Domestic Violence as Grounds for Rejecting Firearm License - North Macedonia.’ 2022 SEESAC Gender Analysis Report - North Macedonia, p. 8. Belgrade: South Eastern and Eastern Europe Clearinghouse for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons. 23 December

Relevant contents

Civilian possession of firearms is regulated by the Law on Weapons (consolidated version 97/2018). Noticeably, both "domestic violence" and the "severe disruption of family relationships" are considered as grounds for the rejection of an application for the acquisition of firearms in a twofold manner:

1. the person has been legally convicted of domestic violence;
2. circumstances indicate that the firearm could be misused, especially if domestic violence perpetrated by the applicant has been documented.

This is consequently reflected in the procedure for the renewal of a license to possess a firearm. The same conditions applying to firearm acquisition also apply to ammunition acquisition. Provisions of the Law on Weapons also apply to employees in those legal entities engaged in private security.
