Applicants must pass a police background check and complete a certification process to obtain a firearms license for shotguns, handguns and rifles. Shotguns and rifles for hunting or sport-shooting purposes are easier to obtain than handguns. Fully automatic weapons are prohibited. Handguns are limited to those under .45&nbsp;calibre for revolvers or 10&nbsp;mm for pistols. Ammunition purchases are limited to 250 rounds per year for shotguns and 50 for handguns, with applications for additional ammunition generally granted during the hunting season. A gun safe is required for storage of all firearms and ammunition.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mysinchew.com/node/26251 |title=Guns from America fuel Jamaica's gang wars |publisher=My Sinchew |date=22 June 2009 |access-date=17 March 2010}}</ref> Once licensed, no additional permit is required to carry a firearm open or concealed, unless the carrying of firearms has been temporarily prohibited under section 22 of the Act.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.firearmlicensingauthority.com/pdf/Firearm%20Act.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140817012426/http://www.firearmlicensingauthority.com/pdf/Firearm%20Act.pdf |archive-date=2014-08-17 |url-status=live |title=Firearms Act |date=16 March 1967 |access-date=11 January 2018}}</ref>
