[[Serbia]] has weapon laws and ranks third in [[List of countries by gun ownership|guns per capita]] with a strong [[gun culture]], especially in rural areas, with about one million guns in legal circulation. Weapons are regulated by the Weapons and Ammunition Law (''Zakon o oružju i municiji'').<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mup.gov.rs/cms/resursi.nsf/Zakon%20O%20ORUZJU%20I%20MUNICIJI-lat.pdf |title=Zakon o Oruzju i Municiji |publisher=Serbian Interior Ministry |access-date=7 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304060306/http://www.mup.gov.rs/cms/resursi.nsf/Zakon%20O%20ORUZJU%20I%20MUNICIJI-lat.pdf |archive-date=4 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

People over age 18 may own firearms with a permit, which is denied to those with a criminal history, mental disorder, or history of alcohol or illegal substance use. There is a thorough background check with police having the final decision. Firearms must be stored in a designated gun cabinet, and may be confiscated by police if the owner is found irresponsible.

Rifles, shotguns and handguns may be owned with an appropriate permit. Having a permit to own a firearm does not itself allow the bearer to carry the firearm anywhere outside the home, regardless of whether it is concealed or not. The owner may transport their firearms at any time provided they are unloaded. Concealed carry permits for handguns require proving an imminent threat, with the police making a final decision. Therefore, concealed carry permits are hard to obtain. There is no limit on the number of firearms one may own, though every gun transaction is recorded by the police. There is no caliber restriction. Fully automatic firearms and suppressors are prohibited for civilians. Automatic long firearms are allowed to be obtained and used by legal entities under special circumstances. People over 18 years of age can buy and carry stun guns and electric tranquilizers with no permit needed. People over 16 can carry OC sprays.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://nsp-policija.org.rs/zakon-o-oruzju-i-municiji/ |title=ЗАКОН О ОРУЖЈУ И МУНИЦИЈИ &#124; Закони - Независни синдикат полиције |access-date=26 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180318141056/http://nsp-policija.org.rs/zakon-o-oruzju-i-municiji/ |archive-date=18 March 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref> There is no restriction regarding the number of rounds that may be purchased. Ammunition may be bought only for the caliber in which an owned firearm is chambered. Reloading is allowed only to those who have passed an exam in handling explosive materials. Old firearms (produced before 1900), historically significant firearms, as well as black powder firearms (all category C items) may be bought without any permit.
