It is also possible that the police departments have predetermined hours for the presentation of weapons during which a weapon can be brought to the police station for inspection without a reservation.

If you want to present a weapon on another time than indicated, you have to agree on it with the police department separately.
When you present a weapon you must have with you a licence entitling you to acquire or manufacture a weapon (a weapon licence with either an acquisition or a manufacturing licence).

A licence certificate entitling to the possession of a weapon can be granted only after a weapon has been presented.
