Indonesia which are related to individual ownership rights and the validity of
online firearms sale and purchase agreements. This study used normative research

legal materials, namely Book III of the Civil Code, Law Number 19 of 2016
concerning Amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic
Information and Transaction, Regulation of the Chief of the National Police of the
Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 2022 concerning Firearms, and this study also
uses primary data as a complement to the research in the form of interviews with
the Bali Regional Police.
The purpose of this study is to examine and understand the legal
arrangements regarding the sale and purchase of firearms by civil society in
Indonesia related to individual ownership rights and to examine and understand
the validity of online firearms sale and purchase agreements in the Indonesian legal system. The results of the study show that firearms buying and selling activities in
Indonesia can be carried out by taking into account the laws and applicable
requirements including billing permits, ownership permits, and use permits for
martial arts or sports purposes. An online firearms sale and purchase agreement is
valid if it is based on certain permits, but the agreement becomes invalid if it is
carried out without permission from the Indonesian National Police.
