Overview
- The SCJN validated Article 30 of the Federal Law on Firearms and Explosives, confirming Sedena's authority to issue, suspend and cancel carry licenses.
- Justices classified license suspensions as an 'acto de molestia' rather than a privative act, giving affected parties 15 days to clarify or meet requirements before any final decision.
- Authorities must provide legal grounds and reasons for provisional measures, with a subsequent opportunity for the affected person to present evidence and defend their case.
- The ruling overturns a district court decision in amparo 179/2025 brought by a private security firm and denies the company's challenge to Article 30.
- The project by Minister Arístides Rodrigo Guerrero García passed 8–1, with Minister Yasmín Esquivel Mossa dissenting, setting a binding criterion for future enforcement and review of arms-license actions.
