Question 19880 — hunting and fishing

Summary

Ms. Alexandra Valetta Ardisson alerts the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the possibility of requiring a medical certificate of fitness when validating the hunting license for the season. A medical certificate attesting to the state of physical and mental health compatible with the possession of a weapon is required when examining the hunting license. However, once the hunting license has been obtained, the holder disposes of throughout his life, not submitting to any regular medical check-ups. The MP has been alerted by certain associations which deplore this situation, because to hunt in complete safety, it is necessary to be in good health, to have very clear vision and immediate reaction time. Furthermore, the average age of hunters is 50 years in France, but with age, physical, physiological and cognitive capacities are diminishing. She would like to have her position on the advisability of combining the validation of the hunting license for the season with the completion of a medical examination focused on hearing and vision but also weapons handling exercises. This is in order to preserve the safety of citizens by carrying out annual and regular prevention measures.
