N2  - Legislation in the Czech Republic clearly sets the rules for possession and carrying of weapons, for granting a firearm license and for medical fitness of an applicant for a firearm license. An amendment of the Weapons and Ammunition Act, which entered into force in August 2016, newly regulates the area of medical fitness of holders of a firearm license. The amendment defines which doctors assess the medical fitness of applicants for firearm license and enumerates conditions for granting such a license. It introduces a system of screening and enforcement of requirements on medical fitness of a holder of a firearm license. Doctors are entitled to check whether a patient holds a firearm license. Subsequently, doctors are obliged to notify any changes to the medical fitness of a firearm license holder. This article deals with particular procedures related to approving of firearm licenses that the doctors have to use henceforth.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
