Ukrainian society is being militarised, among other things, because of the noticeable transformation of the socio-political processes. At present, one of the priorities of the Ukrainian state and society is to ensure security in important spheres of life of every human being and citizen. The areas at risk include, inter alia, constitutional rights and the freedoms of man and citizen, religious, moral, ethical, cultural, historical, intellectual and material values, informational values, as well as the constitutional system, sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of Ukraine’s borders. The article has been developed as part of an international research project: Reaction of European security entities to threats related to the use of firearms, hazardous materials and instruments in public places ( IBiPP-4/2013/P/JT) by a team of Ukrainian authors of the Lviv State University of the Internal Affairs. The authors believe that the illegal circulation of firearms in Ukraine is currently becoming one of the most serious problems. The counter-terrorism operation (ATO) in Donbass promotes the illegal proliferation of firearms. The number of crimes and cases associated with the use of arms is increasing according to the number of armed citizens throughout the country. The state of the normative and legal regulation of firearms circulation in Ukraine is unsatisfactory, due to the lack of legislative regulations concerning their acquisition, storage, carrying and use for self-defence. According to the authors, there is a need to activate further research aimed at developing regulations and practical recommendations for the regulation of administrative and legal rights of citizens to self-defence and to use firearms. Particular attention should be paid to the transparency of the rules on the procedure for the authorisation of firearms.

W artykule przedstawiono dane empiryczne z badań nad strzelcami sportowymi województwa zachodniopomorskiego.

Prezentowane w artykule wyniki dotyczą m.in. socjodemograficznej charakterystyki strzelca sportowego, uprawianych konkurencji, wydatków ponoszonych na sport, motywację do jego uprawiania. Autorzy rozpatrują aktywność strzelców sportowych w kontekście wielokrotnie diagnozowanej niezadowalającej kondycji społeczeństwa obywatelskiego oraz powracającej w sferze publicznej dyskusji o dostępie do broni.
