Abstract
The incidence of firearm injuries in the two largest cities of Cameroon is five to fifty times lower than in many other towns, especially in Western countries. This may be due at least partially, to the current legislation on the ownership of firearm which is very restrictive in this country. Some efforts are however needed to reduce illegal access to weapons and to educate hunters on the safe handling of their gun.
