impact on the so-called public safety. The main concern of the state administration
is that the increased number of weapons in the society and in households
may lead to an increase in crime involving with their use. An analysis of the existing
legal issues and conditions resulting from the regulations was carried out. The rules
of access to firearms in Poland and other countries in the world were also presented.
