They are a Kuwait citizen; or a foreigner receiving permission by the Minister of Interior
Older than 21 years old
Capable of handling a weapon without hinderance
Do not have criminal records
Is not a suspect or under police surveillance
Has an income
Not homeless
Application should be submitted to the Minister of Interior through the General Department of Criminal Evidence.[1]
Usually hunting shotguns are the most common licensed weapons in Kuwait also the easiest to get it licensed, hunting and sniper rifles are more difficult to be licensed but firearms chambered for .22 LR are more commonly licensed, whether with threaded or unthreaded barrel
Automatic rifles or machine guns are not allowed to be licensed in Kuwait but many houses do have such illegal weapons that are either taken by the Kuwaiti resistance of the Iraqi invasion in 1990 or taken during the end of Gulf War when the Iraqi army retreated.
