The European Firearms Pass (EFP) is a locally-issued firearms licence in a common format that allows citizens of the European Union (EU) to travel with one or more firearm(s) mentioned on the licence from one member state to another. For certain purposes other documentation may be required, depending on the current states' laws and the reason for the movement; a transfer may be temporary (for a competition) or permanent (on a sale).〔(Current Irish legal requirements mentioning the EFP, as of January 2011 )〕〔(Thames Valley Police notes, January 2011 )〕 An applicant for an EFP must already hold a licence from the member state in which he/she holds the firearm. ==Functions== The EFP is required by and benefits: * hunters of deer, wild boar, game birds and vermin carrying their firearm(s) into another EU member state * target shooters involved in international competitions in the EU * Dealers, sellers and importers of firearms across EU borders * Specialist collectors and museums The EFP extends the "Four Freedoms" to the EU's licensed sports shooters, gun collectors and dealers. The United Kingdom does not accept the EFP without an accompanying UK Visitors Pass which must be requested in advance. The UK Visitors pass is only valid for one year and an EFP does not allow the importation of firearms that are legal in the visitor's home country but prohibited in the UK (e.g. handguns, centerfire semi-automatic rifles). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「European Firearms Pass」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
