Chamber Committee approves gun carrying for veterinarians. Understand the requirements, the process, and what is needed to become law.

The Public Security Committee of the Chamber of Deputies has given the green light to the Bill 5976/25, which authorizes the carrying of firearms for veterinarians duly registered with the Federal Council of Veterinary Medicine. The proposal, authored by Deputy Marcos Pollon (PL-MS), provides that the authorization be granted by the Federal Police, valid for five renewable years and covering the entire national territory. The text still needs to go through other stages before becoming law.

Why would veterinarians need to carry a gun?

The proposal’s rapporteur, Deputy Junio Amaral (PL-MG), voted in favor of approval and justified the measure based on the working conditions of the category. According to him, a large part of veterinarians work in rural areas, often in isolated regions with little police presence.

In the words of the rapporteur: “An individual cannot be prevented from protecting themselves and having the appropriate means to do so.” The argument is based on the current Disarmament Statute (Law 10.826/03), which already provides for the possibility of carrying for professionals who perform risky activities or face threats to their physical integrity.

Requirements for carrying a gun: what the veterinarian needs to prove

To gain access to carrying, it is not enough to be registered with the category council. The professional must present a series of documents and proofs. They are:

Proof of active practice of the profession
Negative criminal certificates — that is, no criminal record
Report of psychological aptitude, attesting emotional balance
Proof of technical ability to handle the weapon safely
Proof of fixed residence

It is worth noting that the project does not change any existing legislation. It creates a specific authorization within the legal framework already established by the Disarmament Statute.

What are the next steps until it becomes law?

Approval in the Public Security Committee is just the first step in the legislative process. Next, PL 5976/25 will be forwarded to the Constitution and Justice and Citizenship Committee (CCJ), which will assess whether the text is compatible with the Constitution.

If approved by the CCJ, the project may proceed directly to the Federal Senate, without the need for a vote in the Chamber’s Plenary. Therefore, to become law, the text will still need to be approved by the senators and, finally, sanctioned by the Presidency of the Republic.
