Abstract
Preventive measures aimed at preventing crimes during the purchase and possession of weapons by natural persons in the Republic of Croatia
The author provides an overview and an analysis of specific preventive measures (age limit, criminal record and previously instigated proceedings for particular crimes and offences, health barriers, technical knowledge and skills for correct use, conditions for safekeeping and storage of weapons, the exchange of information at the European Union level and on-site verification) aimed at preventing crimes during the acquisition and possession of weapons in the Republic of Croatia. Furthermore, the author gives an overview of the changes prescribed by the Act on Acquisition and Possession of Weapons of Citizens concerning the previous Weapons Act. Moreover, in addition to analysing the effectiveness of each preventive measure, this paper pays special attention to exposing errors, omissions and irrationalities committed by the legislator during the adoption of the Act on Acquisition and Possession of Weapons of Citizens. Finally, it offers solutions for the rectification of the said mistakes.
