The aim of the article is to discuss one of the legal instruments used for controlling access to weapons, namely decisions on weapon permit applications. A weapon permit is an administrative decision which, however, is not uniform. We may distinguish two following types of such decisions: a) a decision regarding a personal weapon permit application and b) a decision regarding a bearer weapon permit application. In the first case, an addressee of an administrative act must be a person specified by name and in the second case, a businessman (e.g. a businessman with a license to run economic activity in the field of protecting persons and property, if weapons are indispensable to him within the scope and forms specified in the license) or an organizational unit (e.g. entrepreneurs maintaining shooting ranges, schools, sports and shooting associations, defense organizations and so forth). A weapon permit is an administrative decision issued by a competent chief constable of the regional police forces or a military police commanding officer after all the requirements specified in the Firearms and Ammunition Act have been met.

This article analyses the arms trade between Iran and the Czechoslovak company Škoda Works in the 1930s. When Reza Shah Pahlavi came to power and Czechoslovakia established diplomatic relations with Iran, the Iranian market opened to Czechoslovak companies. This moment was also an opportunity for Škoda Works. Škoda Works needed to compensate (at least partially) the reduction in exports caused by the Great Depression. New business opportunities were offered by the Iranian army which needed modern cannons. At first, it was necessary to persuade Iranian clientele to give priority to the products of the Škoda Works over the competition. The first contracts for the supply of cannons were signed in 1934. The largest business contracts were realized in the following year. However negotiations on some contracts were very difficult and lasted for several years in some cases. Some of the contracts were not very advantageous for Škoda Works. But Škoda Works were forced to sign these contracts to prevent losing Iranian customers.
