In accordance with Article 104 of the Law of the State Public Security System, referring to the “Carrying of weapons”, it establishes that “Any person who performs public security functions may only carry weapons that have been authorized individually or those that they would have been assigned to him in particular and that they are collectively registered for the agency to which he is assigned, in terms of the Federal Law on Firearms and Explosives ”.
The Securing of arms and ammunition is contemplated in Article 106, which specifies that “When the members of public security institutions secure arms or ammunition, they must immediately notify the corresponding administrative unit, so that the necessary registrations can be made in the state and national registers of weapons and equipment, and make them available to the competent authorities, in terms of the applicable legal provisions and regulations ”.
The sanctions are established in Article 107, which only states that “Failure to comply with the provisions of this section will result in the carrying or possession of weapons being considered illegal and, therefore, sanctioned in terms of the legal provisions and applicable regulations ”.
