Summary/Abstract: The arms and ammunition regime is regulated both by the provisions of the Criminal Code and by a special criminal legislation. The existence of a double seat of the matter could create confusion and therefore the distinction must be made between crimes under the regime of arms and ammunition which constitute violations of the legal framework regarding the possession, port, transport, manufacturing and any other operations with arms and ammunition, on the one hand, and crimes committed with the help of arms and ammunition, such as murder, grievous bodily harm, robbery, deprivation of liberty in the manner illegal, home invasion, crimes related to organized crime and even terrorism, for which weapons and ammunition represent aggravating circumstantial elements, on the other hand. In this legal text, the legislator criminalizes the use of lethal or prohibited weapons or non-lethal weapons from the category of those subject to authorization, under conditions other than those provided for in the Arms and Ammunition Law. Holders of the right to carry and use defense and security weapons can use weapons only in authorized ranges, in compliance with the conditions established by their internal order regulations, or in case of legitimate defense or state of necessity.
