Extended over the summer
Gun ban zone in Vienna-Favoriten stays!
According to reports from the Ministry of the Interior, the gun ban zone in Vienna-Favoriten will be extended beyond the summer in response to several acts of bloodshed in the area. The extension is for three months and therefore until September.
The ordinance would otherwise have expired at the end of June. The weapons ban has been in force since March 30. In addition to classic weapons, it is also prohibited to carry other dangerous objects that are capable of "exercising violence against people or property". There are exceptions for carrying weapons, for example for professional purposes.
The zone extends above Reumannplatz to the beginning of Antonsplatz and in the other direction via Keplerplatz and Columbusplatz to the main railway station. The zone is bordered to the west by Laxenburger Straße and to the east by Sonnwendgasse and Herndlgasse.
The requirement would have expired at the end of June:
According to the Ministry of the Interior, by May 31 there had been 25 reports of disregarding the weapons ban zone and 26 seizures of weapons or dangerous objects; 19 of these were knives.
Reports have decreased
An evaluation for June is still pending. Since the weapons ban zone was established, the number of reports against young people has fallen by 23 percent compared to the same period last year, according to the ministry.
