New law requires gun dealers to report suspicious purchases following Charles University shooting

Starting today, gun dealers are required to report suspicious purchases to the police. This measure is part of an amendment to the gun law, introduced by lawmakers following last year's tragedy at Charles University in Prague. Additionally, dealers must monitor and report any concerning behavior exhibited by customers, such as confusion, apathy, or high levels of stress.

The Interior Ministry states that suspicious purchases can be reported via the 158 emergency line. The police have also set up a new toll-free 24-hour hotline for dealers, and reports can be made through an app within the Central Weapons Register.
