1Under Act No. 90/2024 Sb. on weapons and ammunition, which statutory tier of firearms authorization is required for an individual to carry a concealed firearm in public for personal protection?
A.Extended firearms authorization (rozšířené zbrojní oprávnění)
B.General firearms authorization (obecné zbrojní oprávnění)
C.Special collector endorsement (zvláštní sběratelské oprávnění)
D.Municipal police exemption permit (výjimka obecní policie)
Explanation: Under Act No. 90/2024 Sb., effective 1 January 2026, the licensing system distinguishes between General firearms authorization (obecné zbrojní oprávnění) and Extended firearms authorization (rozšířené zbrojní oprávnění). The extended authorization is legally required for carrying a concealed firearm (nošení zbraně) in public for the protection of life, health, and property.
2How is a citizen's firearms authorization primarily verified under the modernized legal framework of Act No. 90/2024 Sb.?
A.Through the Central Firearms Register (CRZ); a holder can prove the authorization through guaranteed-identity electronic access or, where applicable, a firearms document (zbrojní list) with identity proof
B.Solely by presenting a physical laminated firearms licence booklet issued by the district police department
C.By producing a notarized paper certificate of weapon ownership stamped by the Ministry of the Interior
D.By showing a physical municipal firearms registry stamp inside the citizen's national identity card
Explanation: Act No. 90/2024 Sb. records firearms authorizations in the Central Firearms Register rather than on the former licence card. Section 146 provides several ways to verify a person's authorization, including guaranteed-identity electronic access, a zbrojní list together with identity proof, Police assistance, and verification by an authorized firearms business in the relevant setting. A generic reference to eDoklady is not the statutory rule.
3What is the general statutory minimum age required to obtain an Extended firearms authorization (rozšířené zbrojní oprávnění) under Act No. 90/2024 Sb.?
A.21 years of age
B.18 years of age
C.25 years of age
D.16 years of age
Explanation: Under Act No. 90/2024 Sb., an applicant for an Extended firearms authorization (rozšířené zbrojní oprávnění), which authorizes carrying firearms for self-defense, must have reached at least 21 years of age. This preserves the age standard previously applicable to Category E licences under the former law.
4What is the standard minimum age to obtain a General firearms authorization (obecné zbrojní oprávnění) under Act No. 90/2024 Sb., outside of school or sporting club exemptions?
A.18 years of age
B.21 years of age
C.19 years of age
D.20 years of age
Explanation: Under Act No. 90/2024 Sb., the standard age threshold for acquiring a General firearms authorization (obecné zbrojní oprávnění) for standard sporting, hunting, or vocational purposes is 18 years of age.
5What is the key legal distinction between 'holding/possessing' (držení) and 'carrying' (nošení) a firearm under Czech firearms legislation?
A.Holding means having the firearm in private premises or transported unloaded in a closed container, whereas carrying means having the firearm ready for immediate use
B.Holding refers exclusively to collector weapons, whereas carrying refers exclusively to hunting rifles
C.Holding allows open carry in public squares, whereas carrying is restricted to designated private firing ranges
D.Holding requires an electronic CRZ permit, whereas carrying requires no registration whatsoever
Explanation: Under Czech firearms law, 'držení' (holding/possession) means having the firearm within premises with the owner's consent or moving it unloaded in a closed case, while 'nošení' (carrying) means having the firearm on one's person ready for immediate use (concealed in public).
6What is the legal limit for blood alcohol concentration when carrying a firearm or manipulating firearms under Czech law?
A.Strict zero tolerance (0.0 ‰), with no permissible alcohol or addictive substances
B.Up to 0.2 ‰ to account for natural physiological baseline levels
C.Up to 0.5 ‰, identical to general non-commercial road traffic standards in neighbouring countries
D.Up to 0.8 ‰ provided the weapon remains secured in a holster with the safety engaged
Explanation: Czech firearms legislation strictly prohibits carrying a firearm or performing any handling/manipulation while under the influence of alcohol or other addictive substances. There is zero tolerance (0.0 ‰), and any detectable impairment constitutes an administrative infraction and grounds for weapon seizure.
7When requested by an authorized member of the Police of the Czech Republic (Policie ČR), what is the obligation of a person carrying a firearm regarding sobriety testing?
A.The person is legally obliged to submit immediately to an orientation breath test or medical examination for alcohol or drugs
B.The person may refuse without penalty unless an actual firearm discharge has occurred
C.The person is only required to submit to testing if accompanied by their legal counsel
D.The person may defer testing by up to 24 hours by filing an administrative objection
Explanation: Under Czech firearms legislation, any person carrying or handling a firearm is legally obliged to comply immediately with a police officer's call to undergo an orientation test (e.g., breathalyzer) or medical examination to determine whether they are under the influence of alcohol or other addictive substances.
8What is the statutory deadline for reporting the loss or theft of a firearm or ammunition to the Police of the Czech Republic?
A.Immediately and without undue delay (neprodleně)
B.Within 3 business days from the estimated occurrence
C.Within 5 calendar days following the discovery
D.Within 30 calendar days along with the monthly CRZ reconciliation
Explanation: Czech firearms law mandates that any loss or theft of a firearm, its main parts, or ammunition must be reported immediately without undue delay (neprodleně) to any police unit of the Police of the Czech Republic. Failure to do so constitutes a serious infraction.
9Under Act No. 90/2024 Sb., how are fully automatic military firearms (zbraně samočinné) categorized, and what is required to acquire them?
A.They are classified as prohibited weapons (zakázané zbraně), requiring a strictly scrutinized statutory exemption (výjimka) granted by the Police
B.They are categorized as freely acquirable sports firearms requiring only standard retail notification
C.They are classified as hunting arms accessible under any General firearms authorization without exemption
D.They are completely banned from all civilian ownership with no statutory exemptions permitted under any circumstances
Explanation: Under Czech firearms legislation, fully automatic weapons are categorized as prohibited (zakázané zbraně). A civilian or business entity may acquire and possess them only if granted an exceptional exemption (výjimka) by the Police of the Czech Republic, typically for collectors, museum displays, or specialized defense research.
10What is the statutory requirement before an individual may purchase a firearm categorized as requiring a prior permit (zbraň podléhající povolení) under Act No. 90/2024 Sb.?
A.The individual must apply for and obtain an effective purchase permit (povolení k nabytí vlastnictví) registered in the CRZ prior to taking possession
B.The individual can purchase the firearm over the counter and apply for registration within 60 days thereafter
C.The individual may acquire the firearm first if a purchase-permit application is submitted the same day
D.A valid firearms authorization alone is sufficient; the purchase permit is needed only for later registration
Explanation: For firearms categorized as requiring prior permission (e.g., modern centerfire semi-automatic pistols and rifles), the holder must hold valid authorization and apply for and receive an approved acquisition permit (povolení) in the CRZ from the Police before purchasing or taking custody of the firearm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Czech Firearms Licence Exam (Zkouška odborné způsobilosti)?

It is the official statutory licensing examination administered by the Police of the Czech Republic (Policie ČR) and accredited examination commissioners under Act No. 90/2024 Sb. Passing both the theoretical and practical parts is mandatory to obtain a firearms authorization.

How did the 2026 legal reform (Act No. 90/2024 Sb.) modernize the licensing system?

The reform phased out physical paper/plastic firearms licences (zbrojní průkazy) in favor of fully digital authorizations (zbrojní oprávnění) registered in the Central Firearms Register (CRZ). It consolidated the historical lettered categories into two main civilian tiers: General authorization (obecné oprávnění) and Extended authorization (rozšířené oprávnění, covering concealed carry for self-defense).

What is the structure and duration of the theoretical test?

The official theory test has 30 questions, each offering three possible answers, and a 40-minute limit. General applicants need at least 26 correct answers and Extended applicants at least 28 before proceeding to the practical part.

What does the practical portion of the examination evaluate?

The candidate demonstrates prescribed safe-handling procedures with a short and a long firearm. The scored firing is 5 shots at 10 m with a short firearm and 5 at 25 m with a long firearm, on a 500 mm circular target, within 5 minutes total. General applicants need 6 total hits and Extended applicants 8, without disqualifying safety breaches.

What are the age requirements for obtaining firearms authorizations?

An applicant must be at least 21 years old to obtain the Extended authorization (for concealed carry and self-defense). For the General authorization (sports, hunting, and collecting), the standard age is 18 years, with junior exceptions down to 15 years for members of recognized sports shooting clubs or forestry/gunsmith students.

In what language is the official Czech firearms examination conducted?
