That is horrible...! Iran has very strict gun control laws...! *Ordinary citizens of Iran generally are not* freely allowed to own or carry firearms in the way that civilians can in some countries. Iran has very strict gun-control laws, and private ownership of most firearms without government permission is illegal. What Iranian Law Says Under Iranian law, most firearms (including handguns and military-style guns)** are restricted to military, police, and certain official security forces. Ordinary civilians do not have a broad right to own or carry them. Private possession, sale, purchase, or even unauthorized storage of guns (firearms) — including hunting guns — without a licence and proper permit — is a criminal offense subject to penalties such as fines or imprisonment. Limited Exceptions — With Permission In some limited cases, individuals can obtain special permits to own or carry certain firearms (like hunting rifles) from authorities, but this is not a general right and such licences are rarely issued. Licenses may also be granted in specific official or protective roles (e.g., authorized guards, officials, or under special security circumstances). Practical Reality In practice, there are some legal hunting rifles registered (e.g., in rural areas among nomadic groups), but overall civilian gun ownership is very uncommon and highly controlled. In summary: Iranian citizens do not have a broad legal right to own firearms. They may only possess or carry guns if they receive permits under strict conditions — otherwise, possessing weapons is illegal and punishable under law.
