Abu Dhabi: The Federal National Council (FNC) on Tuesday passed a draft law imposing stiff penalties for carrying, possessing or dealing in arms, munitions, explosives and fire crackers without a license.

Under the draft law on weapons, ammunitions and fire crackers, those who break the law will face up to 10 years in jail and a minimum fine of Dh15,000.

The right to possess and carry arms by people within the national territory is recognized, but with a license and after adhering to the law.

The legislature demanded that only people aged 25 or more can obtain a license to carry weapons, which was initially 21 years.

The house also turned down a clause that initially exempted the FNC members from obtaining a permit to carry arms.

BEFORE :

Anyone who will be caught by the authorities carrying AEG in public will be arrested and subject for police interrogation but no penalties can be imposed due to absence of federal directive.

Airsofter can carry their AEG from home to game site.

AFTER :

Anyone who commits the offence of dealing in, importing, exporting, manufacturing or attempting to smuggle weapons, munitions and explosives will face a prison term of up to 10 years and a fine of not less than Dh15,000.
Using any gas or air-compressed arms, electrical or antique arms to threaten people will carry a prison term or a fine.
