The penalties for carrying unlicensed firearms and using stun guns are being increased.

According to the proposal submitted to the Presidency of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, those who sell, carry, or facilitate the entry of main parts of weapons such as barrels, triggers, and firing mechanisms will also face imprisonment.

The minimum prison sentence of 1 year for those carrying and possessing unlicensed firearms will be increased to 2 years, and the maximum sentence of 3 years will be raised to 4 years. Thus, those carrying and possessing unlicensed firearms will face imprisonment ranging from 2 to 4 years.

In order to ensure deterrence in the unauthorized use of flashing and rooftop lights, administrative fines will be increased. Those who install flashing and rooftop lights on their vehicles will be fined 150,000 lira.

Additionally, the proposal includes regulations aimed at eliminating the differences between the administrative and working conditions of coast guard, gendarmerie, and police personnel.
