Polish law allows modern firearms ownership on a general shall-issue basis under police-issued permit for people who provide an important reason. Hunting, sport shooting, training and collecting are the most popular reasons and require membership in suitable organizations. Self-defense permits for civilians[1] are chief exceptions to the rule, where a may-issue based permit is required. Antique black powder firearms or their replicas and most air guns are available without a permit. Firearm owners are subject to mental health and domestic violence confiscation laws resembling U.S red flag laws.[2][3]
With approximately 2.5 civilian firearms per 100 people, Poland is the 166th most armed country in the world. Less than 0.8% of citizens have valid firearm permits.[lower-roman 1]
