BULGARIAN FIREARMS LAW STRENGTHENED

Thu, Nov 08 2007 14:01 CET byRene Beekman 516 Views 1 Comment

The Acquisition, ownership, carrying and use of automatic firearms would be forbidden under changes in the Law on Explosive Substances, Firearms and Ammunition, discussed for second reading in Parliament on November 8 2007.

In exceptional cases, the use of firearms could be allowed under a special permit by the Interior Minster, Bulgarian News Agency BTA reported.

Exceptions would be allowed for guards of high-risk objects, BTA said.

The proposed changes had previously been accepted in first reading in October 2007.

I am looking at moving to Bulgaria. I am trying to find out if I can bring my forearms and if there is a limit on what and how many i can bring. Any help will be appreciated.
