Weapon Transfer And Fee Schedule
The transfer of arms is analysed in two ways. These are as follows:
Transfer of weapons between civilian citizens: In order to be able to transfer licensed weapons to another person, it must be determined that the person who wants to transfer does not have any obstacle to obtain a licence to carry or possess a weapon. The contract for the transfer of weapons shall be issued by a notary public following the approval procedures. Weapons and ammunition cannot be transferred without the issuance of a weapon to the person.
Transfer of weapons by TAF personnel to civilian citizens: Personnel on duty do not need to obtain a transfer permit from the Force Command to which they are attached with a petition before transferring their weapon, which is registered in their name in the personal weapon inventory of the Force Commands and which is not objectionable to transfer, to another person. The procedures for the transfer of the weapon to be transferred to another person are carried out by the person who will take over the weapon. After the transfer of the weapon is completed, the weapon is deducted from the personnel who transfers the weapon.
WHAT ARE THE LICENSED WEAPONS THAT CANNOT BE TRANSFERRED?
Licenced weapons that cannot be transferred are as follows:
Those given to the members of the First Turkish Grand National Assembly as a souvenir of victory or passed on to their heirs,
Those who stayed with them from the wars before the War of Independence and whose inheritance was documented to be passed on to their heirs,
It has been determined and documented that the officers and enlisted men who participated in the War of Independence and those who made efforts behind the front line remained in their hands or passed on to their heirs,
Firearms, knives and swords that were given as souvenirs by the front commanders in the War of Independence in return for their services or that were determined to have been passed on to their heirs.
