Is it legal to possess a brass knuckles in a car in Colombia?
This rebuilt rule page keeps the answer, scope, and future source links in one obvious place, without pretending the row is fully researched before official sources are attached.
Quick answer
Legal position
Current starter summary
Colombia classifies brass knuckles (manoplas metálicas) as less-lethal kinetic items under Decreto 1563 de 2022. Their commercialization and importation are regulated, and the decree links civilian possession of less-lethal items to marking/registration procedures even though kinetic items do not require a carry permit.
Conditions
What would need to be true
Do not assume ordinary unrestricted possession. Use only items covered by the decree and follow the current marking or registration workflow required by the competent weapons authority.
Exceptions
Known carve-outs or edge cases
Kinetic items do not require a carry permit under the decree, but that does not remove the broader regulatory and seizure rules for less-lethal items.
Penalties
Penalty snapshot
Non-compliant or unprocessed less-lethal items can be seized by the authorities.
Enforcement
How this may be enforced
INDUMIL and the Department Control Comercio de Armas handle the civilian less-lethal marking and permit framework, and police may seize non-compliant items.
