Editing Overview of gun laws by nation (section)

====Slovenia====
Gun ownership in [[Slovenia]] is regulated under the "Weapons Law" (Zakon o orožju) which is harmonised with the directives of the EU. Gun permits are issued to applicants at least 18 years old, reliable, without criminal history and who has not been a [[conscientious objector]], who passes a medical exam and a test on firearm safety. A specific reason must be given for gun ownership: for hunting or target shooting, the applicant must provide proof of membership in a hunting or sports shooting organization; for collection, the applicant must arrange safe storage with a level of security dependent on the type of weapons; for self-defense, the applicant must prove a risk to personal safety to such an extent that a weapon is needed.

As in most EU member states, the ownership of Category A firearms is prohibited; however these can be owned by weapon collectors, providing that requirements are met. [[Suppressor]]s are legal and unregulated since 2021. Firearms must be stored in a locked cabinet with ammunition stored separately. Concealed carry is allowed in special circumstances. A gun permit is also required for airguns with muzzle velocity greater than {{convert|200|m/s|ft/s|abbr=on}} or energy of {{convert|20|J|ftlbf}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uradni-list.si/1/objava.jsp?urlid=200523&stevilka=777 |title=Uradni list Republike Slovenije |publisher=Uradni-list.si |access-date=2014-04-19}}</ref>
