Applying for a permit to possess weapons for traditional marksmen to preserve customs
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzIf you are a traditional marksman or markswoman and require weapons and ammunition to maintain traditional customs, a need to acquire and possess them is recognized. The permit is limited to single-shot long guns and up to three repeating long guns as well as the ammunition intended for them. As proof, you need a certificate from the traditional shooting association stating that you need these weapons to maintain your traditions. An indication of custom is a longstanding tradition and practice. The use of weapons may only be a necessary part of the cultivation of customs and not the predominant purpose.
