The operator must notify the competent authority in writing two weeks in advance of the commencement and termination of operation of the shooting range.
In the case of mobile shooting ranges, a one-off permit prior to the initial installation is sufficient. The holder of such a permit must notify the locally competent district administrative authority in writing two weeks in advance of the commencement and termination of the operation of the shooting range.
The permit may only be issued if the applicant
- the required reliability (§ 5 WaffG) and
- personal suitability (§ 6 WaffG) and
- provides proof of liability insurance for damages resulting from the operation of the shooting range in the amount of at least 1 million euros - lump sum for personal injury and property damage - as well as accident insurance for damages resulting from the operation of the shooting range to persons involved in the organization of the shooting operation in the amount of at least 10,000 euros in the event of death and 100,000 euros in the event of disability with an insurance company authorized to do business within the scope of this law.
