Proof of specialist knowledge for the arms trade by examination
Source: Serviceportal Rheinland-PfalzThe check is usually carried out by order of the authority to which you have applied for the firearms permit and cannot be applied for separately.
Depending on the scope of the trading permit you have applied for, the test covers certain categories of weapons.
In the theoretical part of the test, you must demonstrate knowledge of the regulations governing the trade in firearms and ammunition, the acquisition and carrying of firearms and the main features of other firearms regulations.
In the practical part of the examination, you must demonstrate safe handling of the tested categories of firearms. This includes, among other things, disassembling and assembling, naming essential parts anddescription of the mode of operation.
In order to successfully pass the specialist examination for the trade in weapons and ammunition, you need not only theoretical but also practical knowledge. Extensive preparation is therefore recommended.
If you have applied for a permit to trade in ammunition, you will be tested on the handling of common ammunition and its use in the associated firearm.
If you are registered as a master gunsmith, you already have this expertise and do not have to prove it again by taking an examination at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
