In Poland, access to certain types of weapons, in particular to firearms, is subject to regulation, which involves requirements and procedures relevant to the weapons and ammunition specifi ed in the law. Individual police authorities, as public administration bodies, are entitled to issue (as part of administrative and law-enforcement activities) administrative decisions, including weapon permits. This activity is of great importance to society because of the control over the users of weapons and the weapons themselves possessed by individuals in the country. In recent years, there has been growing interest in weapons in Poland, as evidenced by police statistics. The aspirations and needs of individuals vary in this respect. The aim of the system of regulating access to weapons is therefore to control the holders of weapons within the framework of the generally understood public safety and order.
