 The research method used in this qualitative research is thematic analysis. Interviews were used to collect data. The statistical population of the research is the number of 18 experts in the field of security and law enforcement, who were selected through the purposeful sampling method, and the data analysis was based on the coding process.

 Through qualitative analysis, 79 basic themes and 10 organizing themes were obtained, and by examining the mentioned codes, five categories of overarching themes including political, social, cultural, economic and policing security consequences were identified.

 The results of the research indicate that the use of illegal weapons causes security and law enforcement consequences, including political and security instability, a decrease in social cohesion, violence and an increase in violent crimes, ethnic differences, the spread of terrorism, and finally, a decrease in the sense of security in the border region of Gilangarb. Therefore, using new technologies and carrying out targeted patrols is an effective measure of crime prevention.
