Abstract
The main purpose of our presentation is to show the possible sources of endangering the safety of weapons handling in violation of the rules of special care. We want to shed light on the security risks posed by the actual use of weapons around local communities. Namely, the general position has been adopted, according to which weapons are by their nature a dangerous thing, which, if misused, poses a direct threat to life, health and safety of people and public order. Injuries and deaths due to the use of firearms are a serious public health issue in many countries. Accidental deaths and injuries due to the use of firearms represent a small but significant proportion of all deaths and injuries related to the use of firearms. The victim, however, can be either the shooter himself or a random individual. The causes lie mainly in the incompetence, carelessness, and recklessness, and often the presence of alcohol also contributes to weapons accidents. The article thus focuses primarily on the analysis of security threats arising from the execution of shootings on civilian shooting ranges, shooting ranges or land used by individuals and shooting organizations and in hunting grounds. These areas are generally located within local communities, which can pose a serious security risk to local communities. It should be noted that limited access to weapons, in conjunction with appropriate regulation, is the most effective measure to reduce the number of injuries and deaths related to weapons.
