Any person who transfers the possession of a weapon or an essential weapon component that does not require a weapon acquisition permit (Art. 10) must verify the identity and age of the person acquiring the weapon or essential weapon component by means of an official identity document.
The possession of a weapon or essential weapon component may only be transferred if the person transferring possession may assume in the circumstances that there are no impediments for doing so under Article 8.
Article 9a applies by analogy.
The person transferring possession may ask the competent authority of the canton of residence of the person acquiring the weapon or weapon component whether there are any impediments to acquisition. This inquiry requires the written consent of the person acquiring the weapon or essential weapon component.1
