How to obtain a permit for a traumatic weapon

Citizens of the Russian Federation have the right to self-defense. The Weapons Law describes two categories of civilian self-defense weapons purchased under licenses. Let's take a closer look at what a limited-kill firearm is, how limited-kill firearms differ, how to obtain a permit for a traumatic weapon, how to buy a limited-kill weapon, how to store it, what the procedure for transporting a limited-kill weapon is, and the rules for carrying limited-kill weapons.

Weapons of limited destruction

According to Article 3 of the Weapons Law, there are two categories of civilian self-defense weapons acquired under licenses:

Firearms of limited destruction (pistol, revolver, barrelless firearms of domestic production) with traumatic cartridges, gas cartridges and light-sound cartridges;

Gas weapons: gas pistols and revolvers, including cartridges for them, filled with tear or irritant substances;

According to the current Weapons Law, citizens of the Russian Federation have the right to acquire:

OOOP - you can buy up to two weapons;
gas weapons - you can own up to five weapons.

Firearms of limited destruction are short-barreled weapons and barrelless weapons intended for mechanical destruction of a living target at a distance by throwing equipment of a traumatic cartridge, receiving directed movement due to the energy of a powder or other charge, and not intended to cause death to a person.

Purchasing a safe

A gun safe is not a personal desire, but a real requirement. The fact is that the law establishes a procedure for issuing a weapons permit, which clearly states that during the period of verification of the submitted documents, the local inspector conducts an inspection of the place and conditions of storage of weapons. Later, the inspector is required to submit a report to the department based on the results of the inspection.

In practice, you should do things a little differently. First, a safe is purchased and installed in the room. The safe must be attached to the wall and lock securely. Then a police officer is invited, who immediately writes a report on the inspection. The citizen attaches this conclusion to all other documents.

Use of traumatic weapons

Weapons of limited destruction refer to civilian weapons of self-defense, that is, they are purchased by citizens to protect life, health and their property. These are the core values that a citizen can defend with legally owned weapons. You can use traumatic weapons only in cases where there is a direct threat to life, health and property. The use of OOOP is determined by the weapons law. Article 24 states that a citizen has the right to use weapons to protect health, life and his property. That is, in the case of self-defense, roughly speaking. Determining where the line between self-defense and non-self-defense lies is quite difficult. A citizen must correlate the actions inflicted on him or their severity with the consequences that may occur after he uses the OOOP weapon. Having used OOOP, you must immediately report it to the police.

Trauma shooting training

The first step to obtain a license for a weapon of limited destruction is to learn the rules and skills of safe handling of traumatic weapons, obtain a diploma of completion (the certificate is for those who have already studied and are now recertified every 5 years). There are about five non-state educational institutions in Moscow that have received a license to teach the rules of safe handling of weapons, have their programs approved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and carry out such training and training in shooting from OOOP. 6 academic hours are allotted for study. During preparation, firing exercises are required. For example, you can complete the Training Program at the Hunter Shooting Complex of DOSAAF Russia:

Primary training in the rules and skills of safe handling of weapons of limited destruction with final certification - 5,700 rubles .

Carrying out periodic inspections when renewing a permit - 3,500 rubles .

Only after this should you contact the licensing and permitting service employees at your place of residence to obtain a permit for a traumatic weapon. Without a document confirming the completion of training in the rules and skills of safe handling of weapons of limited destruction, LRO employees do not have the right to accept documents and issue a license for an LLC.

Submitting an application

After all the steps described above, you should have enough documents to apply and receive a permit for a traumatic weapon. You should check their list again.

Photocopies of completed passport pages.
Two photographs of 3 cm by 4 cm format.
Report from the local inspector on the compliance of the conditions for storing weapons.
Certificate from a medical institution in form 002 O/u.
Certificate of completion of courses.
Certificate of successful completion of exams.

But the most important document remains the citizen’s personal statement. It can be prepared in advance by downloading the form on the Internet, or when visiting the department. The OLRR employee is obliged to give you a sample application or indicate its location on the information stand. The procedure for obtaining a personal injury license will only be initiated after the application has been submitted.

Most of the problems associated with bureaucratic delays arose due to long queues at the OLRR. After electronic services were introduced, the queues were significantly reduced. In the multifunctional center, every citizen has the opportunity to request any government service. A permit for a traumatic pistol is also such. When contacting the MFC, employees will ask you to give written consent to the processing of personal data. This is necessary because requests are made to third-party government agencies.

An alternative way to submit an application is to register on the government services portal. This allows you to select the necessary services and submit an application electronically. During registration, you must provide accurate personal information, as the system will check them for a certain time. The search bar will help you find the service you need. The system selects the municipality automatically, according to the user’s registration data.

Having defined the service, you must click on the “Get service” link. You will see a trivial application form, which will be partly already filled out. All you have to do is fill in the missing data and attach files with scanned documents. Looking ahead, we note that an application submitted in this way is considered by the department in the general manner. A department employee will print out the completed application, and all you have to do is sign.

License for traumatism

To obtain a license for a firearm of limited destruction (for the initial purchase of a weapon), the applicant collects a package of documents and submits them to the licensing and permitting department at the place of residence. Below is a list of OOO. By the way, the best advice for obtaining a permit for trauma is to look into your LRO and look at the stand to see what is required.

So, to obtain a license for an LLC, you must provide the following to the LRO:

passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation (and a copy);
application for a license to purchase limited-kill firearms and ammunition for them.

The following are attached to the application:

medical certificate confirming that there are no contraindications to owning a weapon related to visual impairment, mental illness, alcoholism or drug addiction. Medical certificate form 046-1 (a certificate received at a non-state medical institution is provided with a copy of the license to provide medical services) the validity period of the medical certificate is 6 months;
copies of documents confirming completion of appropriate training and periodic testing of knowledge of the rules of safe handling of weapons and availability of skills in safe handling of weapons. Copies of documents are submitted along with the originals and certified by the signature of the employee.

Receipt of payment of the license fee upon acceptance

What happens if you carry a weapon without permission?

A citizen who does not have a permit for a traumatic weapon of defense is subject to administrative liability under Art. 20.8 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Previously, this was punishable by criminal charges under Article 222 of the Criminal Code, but recently only the illegal sale of traumatic drugs falls under it.

Educational institution:

Complete training in the rules and skills of safe handling of weapons of limited destruction and receive a document confirming completion of the training.

Obtain medical certificate 046-1. A narcologist, psychiatrist, ophthalmologist and therapist must determine your health status and allow you to use a firearm of limited destruction.

2. Buy a traumatic weapon and register it

Shop:

Within 6 months, present your passport at the store, a license to purchase weapons of limited destruction and buy an LLC.

Licensing and permitting department at the place of residence:

Provide the purchased weapon and an application for registration of a weapon of limited destruction.

When and how to renew your license

Renewal is required once every five years. The application must be submitted at least three months before the expiration date in the document. A standard list of documents is provided to the police department at the place of residence. You will have to undergo a medical examination again, but you will no longer need to study. If this is not taken into account, then OLRR employees may refuse to renew the permit or impose an administrative fine in the amount of 3,000 rubles.

Storage of firearms of limited destruction

The procedure for storing weapons in the weapons law is described in detail. In particular, it is stated that “Storage of civilian and service weapons and ammunition for them is permitted... to citizens who have received permission from the internal affairs bodies to store or store and carry weapons. Civilian and service weapons must be stored in conditions that ensure their safety, security of storage and prevent access to them by unauthorized persons.”

In short, to store any weapon, a citizen must have a safe installed, the keys to which must be held only by the owner of the weapon, so that no stranger can take and use his weapon. By the way, the impossibility of ensuring the accounting and safety of weapons or the failure to ensure these conditions is one of the grounds for refusing to issue a license for an LLC.

Passing a medical examination

A mandatory document from the list that must be presented when applying to the OLRR is a medical certificate. It is issued for one year, but to obtain it you will have to visit doctors. Therefore, you should prepare such a certificate before you contact the department.

Unfortunately, it is often impossible to undergo a medical examination in one institution, since the certificate (form 002-О/у) requires a note from a psychiatrist and a narcologist. The results of chemical research are also added to it. This innovation was introduced relatively recently.

Carrying a weapon of limited destruction

Naturally, you can carry a traumatic weapon with you if you have received permission to store and carry it. The rules for carrying OOOP provide for carrying a firearm of limited destruction without a cartridge in the chamber, with a loaded magazine or drum, with the safety on and in a sheathed state in a holster. You must have identification documents with you, as well as a license or permit to store and carry weapons issued by the internal affairs authorities.

In principle, carrying weapons is always carried out on the basis of licenses or permits issued by internal affairs bodies for storing and carrying specific types, types and models of weapons.

people who have mental illness (and other diseases that are dangerous);
persons whose name is prohibited from carrying, storing and using weapons;

In any of the above cases, you will not be able to obtain permission to carry, especially if you need a traumatic weapon.
