Right to self-defence with a weapon in the Czech Republic: an unloaded gun?
Original language description
As of 1 October 2021, Article 6(4) of the Czech Charter of Fundamental Rights newly provides that “the right to defend one’s own life or the life of another person with a weapon is guaranteed under the conditions laid down by law.” This new wording, however, does not bring any change to the Czech legal order: it is not capable of preventing future legislative changes, nor can it strengthen the policy or legal position of the Czech Republic vis-à-vis the European Union. Metaphorically speaking, if the new constitutional provision were a gun, it would be an unloaded one.
