Weapons amnesty ended, citizens handed in rare items and dozens of kilograms of explosives
The weapons amnesty in the Czech Republic has ended, during which citizens could hand in illegally held weapons, ammunition and explosives without fear of punishment. The operation produced unexpected results.
People brought not only historical specimens, but also 64 kilograms of explosives. Among the handed-in items were genuine rarities. Precise details about the number and type of weapons are not yet known; however, the overall overview points to broad public interest.
Weapons amnesties serve as a way to reduce the number of illegally held weapons in society. Handovers take place without sanctions and allow owners to dispose of items which they would otherwise be holding in breach of the law.
