First, before we talk about Category D, a quick reminder about weapons legislation in France. Since 2013, weapons have been classified into 4 categories according to their dangerousness. Category A is totally prohibited, with some exceptions. Category B is subject to authorization. Category C is subject to declaration. Finally, category D can be bought and held freely. The rules for buying, carrying, transporting and possessing firearms vary according to category A, B, C or D. You can see all the legislation directly on the official website in : WEAPONS AND MUNITIONS (Articles L311-2 to L317-12).
In conclusion, as you can see, these weapons are dangerous, and the rules are very strict.
When you choose a replica gun from Réplique Manga Ciné, you're investing in a piece of history, culture and passion. To ensure your peace of mind and guarantee a legal buying experience. It's important to understand the classification of the replicas we offer.
In France, replica weapons such as katanas, knives, axes, swords, sabres and reproductions of Denix and Kolser weapons are classified in category D. This category groups together historic and collector's weapons that can be freely acquired without having to be declared or registered with the authorities, provided the purchaser is of legal age.
So why classify them as category D? Because, according to the law, "any object which may constitute a weapon dangerous to public safety", such as camouflaged non-firearms, daggers, knife-stabbings, truncheons and hypodermic projectors. But also electric truncheons, electric fists and certain models of shockers. As well as airsoft weapons between 2 and 20 joules, etc. etc. ...
Carrying or transporting a category D firearm outside your home (for example, in your car) is prohibited without legitimate reason.
In the event of a security check (checking a bag, a vehicle, etc.), you must be able to provide a legitimate reason.
To determine whether you have a valid reason for carrying or transporting a weapon, the police - or the judge in the event of a dispute - take into account the location, circumstances and context. Legitimate cause is examined on a case-by-case basis.
For example, claiming that the weapon will help you to cope better with an altercation or danger does not in itself constitute a legitimate reason. It depends on the place, the circumstances and the context.
