Service weapon
Logically, the procedure for obtaining a permit for a service weapon does not differ from that indicated above.
The organization providing security services provides additional documents for obtaining permits.
You may ask why you need to get a license for both types of weapons. There are three reasons for this:
1 - Practicality. Traumatic weapons are the only effective legal means of self-defense, and smooth-bore weapons are for hunting and for protecting your own home;
2 - Saving money. There is no need to first buy a pistol safe for a traumatic gun, and then a gun safe for a shotgun;
3 - Save time. If you obtain both licenses at once, you will be able to combine the exams and not have to take them again.
Let us decipher the points of the above diagram of actions when obtaining licenses for traumatic and smooth-bore weapons.
1. Obtaining a hunting license. This document is not included in the list of mandatory submissions, but its presence is desirable since it subsequently allows the free transportation of firearms. In addition, after 5 years of owning a smooth-bore weapon, you will have the right to purchase a rifled weapon. This document is of unlimited duration and is issued free of charge upon application.
Action plan. We take 2 personal photographs 3x4 - matte, strictly frontal, without headdress. Colored or black and white - it doesn't matter. We make 2 photocopies of the passport: page 2-3 with personal data, and a page with the registration address. We take all this, look for the nearest MFC and go there to write an application for a hunting license of a unified federal standard. Be sure to have your passport with you.
Previously, it was necessary to pass an exam on knowledge of the hunting minimum. Now it is enough to sign the application “I am familiar with the requirements of the hunting minimum.”
Within 5 days after submitting the application, you should receive an SMS message indicating that your hunting license is ready. The application can also be submitted at the local licensing and permitting department or through the State Services portal.
2. Obtaining medical certificates. At this stage, the main goal is to obtain the results of a chemical toxicological test (CTI) in form No. 454/u-06 (drug test results), a medical certificate in form No. 003-O/u (about the absence of drugs in the body), a medical certificate No. 002-O/u (for the right to own weapons). The validity period of certificate No. 002-О/у is 1 year, but it is better not to delay it.
Action plan. Certificate No. 002-О/у is issued on the basis of a medical examination (ophthalmologist and therapist) and previously received certificates from psychoneurological and narcological dispensaries, and the results of chemical testing. All certificates are paid. You can obtain certificate No. 002-O/u at departmental clinics, or at any medical institution that has a license for this type of activity. You can see a narcologist and psychotherapist at the medical center. institution only at the place of residence. Certificate No. 003-O/u is issued on the basis of the HTI conclusion in form No. 454/u-06 - you will need to take a urine test.
4. Weapon safety training courses. Upon initial application to the OLRR, they require a certificate of completion of weapons courses. The purpose of these courses is to familiarize civilians with the rules and acquire skills in safe handling of weapons.
Training takes place in training centers in the form of lectures with practical exercises at the shooting range. For registration you will need: 2 photos 3x4 matte, medical certificate No. 002-О/у, passport and its copy.
The training center must have a valid license to carry out educational activities under training programs for individuals in order to learn the rules and acquire skills in safe handling of weapons. Information about the license can be found on the Rosobrnadzor website; you will need it if you submit an application through the State Services portal.
All training will take only one day, at the end you will need to pass an exam (testing). As a result, you will have in your hands a Certificate of completion of weapons courses and a Certificate of verification of knowledge of the rules and skills of safe handling of weapons for submission to the OLRR. The validity period of these documents is 5 years.
5. Obtaining a license to purchase weapons. At this stage, the main goal is to obtain two documents from the OLRR:
a) licenses for the acquisition of firearms of limited destruction and ammunition for them
b) a license to purchase hunting smooth-bore weapons, as well as ammunition for them
Action plan. The easiest way is to submit applications through the State Services portal; those who are not looking for easy ways can take a walk to the OLRR in your area. When submitting applications through the portal, you will need to fill out two forms and upload scans of the received medical information. certificates License for the purchase of traumatic weapons, for smooth-bore weapons -.
When filling out an application for a license to purchase a hunting smoothbore weapon, you will need to indicate the brand of the weapon. If you haven’t decided yet, write with the general wording “smooth-bore hunting firearm.”
After the applications have been successfully sent, the status of the application changes within 24 hours: “accepted from the applicant” - “sent to the department” - “accepted by the department”. A day after the application is accepted by the department, an OLRR employee should contact you - he will confirm that everything is in order and clarify when to approach for a license. As a rule, the entire procedure takes no more than a month.
After this, you wait for the visit of the local police officer, who must confirm that you do not have any charges for administrative offenses, and check compliance with the conditions for storing weapons - make sure that there is a gun safe and that it is installed correctly. If there are no comments, he signs an Act on compliance with the conditions for ensuring the safety of weapons and ammunition. If the local police officer does not show up, it makes sense to take the initiative and contact him.
If everything is in order, in a month (or even earlier) come back for a “green card” - permission to purchase weapons. Don’t forget to take with you the originals of all collected documents, and your passport, of course.
6. Purchase of weapons. There are plenty of gun stores and the price range is very wide. It makes sense, before going to a gun store, to firmly decide what exactly you need, and then select stores based on the assortment offered, the cost of goods and the distance from your place of residence.
Action plan. When going to the store, be sure to take with you your passport and licenses for purchasing weapons obtained from the OLRR.
An acquisition license gives the right to purchase one weapon. You can own a maximum of five smoothbore hunting rifles at the same time. Larger quantities require permission for collecting purposes.
7. Registration of weapons and receipt of ROC After the weapon has been purchased, all that remains is to register it with the OLRR and obtain a ROH - permission to store and carry weapons. There is no point in delaying registration - the time allotted by law is only 14 days.
Action plan. You submit applications one by one through the portal or go to the OLRR, you need to have with you - licenses for the purchase of weapons, and the purchased weapon itself. OLRR employees check the numbers on the weapons, keep the purchase licenses, and instead give you a certificate for transporting the weapon home. After 14 days, instead of a purchase permit, you receive a ROC.
That's it, from now on you legally own a weapon - you have exercised your right. The ROC is valid for 5 years, then the permit must be renewed. During these 5 years, to obtain new permits for the purchase of weapons, you will not need to provide either medical certificates or certificates of completion of weapons courses - only an application, a passport of the Russian Federation and the Russian Academy of Arts.
Conditions for issuing a permit for the purchase of smooth-bore weapons
Russians can buy smooth-bore weapons for self-defense, shooting sports, hunting and collecting. Applicants must pay a state fee of 2,000 rubles (and if we are talking about extending the permit, then 500 rubles). To re-issue a license allowing you to buy, carry, store any weapon, you must pay 250 rubles.
Smoothbore weapons are sold only to adult Russians who do not use drugs or alcohol and have received a certificate of no contraindications for health. The police will not approve the issuance of permits to convicted Russians who have committed a serious crime and used firearms to do so. It is impossible to obtain a license if administrative offenses related to the use, sale, or cultivation of drugs are committed twice in a year. The permit is not issued to citizens who do not have a place of permanent residence.
How to get a license for a shotgun
Russians have the right to buy smooth-bore weapons for hunting, sport or self-defense. If it is purchased for hunting, then you first need to obtain a ticket, for which a package of documents is prepared:
- Copy of the passport;
- Photos;
- Statement.
You can submit an application on the mos.ru website and arrive to pick up your ticket 5 days later, excluding weekends and holidays. The issued ticket will be valid indefinitely.
To obtain permission for training and competitions in shooting sports, you must confirm the fact of belonging to the sports section by providing a package including:
- Sports passport - it can be replaced by an order approved by the head of the sports society or educational institution where the sports section is open;
- Petition from the OSF, which received accreditation under the laws of the Russian Federation.
Russians wishing to buy smooth-bore weapons for self-defense do not need to present additional evidence. However, unlike athletes and hunters, they only receive the right to store long-barreled and short-barreled models. They are strictly prohibited from carrying guns, carbines, and pistols. They are allowed to store smooth-bore weapons at home and use them exclusively to protect their home.
Attention! Russians who have received a weapon permit for self-defense will not be able to subsequently buy rifled guns.
Procedure for obtaining permission
You must first obtain a certificate 002-О/у, which will confirm that the applicant has no medical contraindications regarding visual acuity and mental disorders. Additionally, they receive a conclusion 003-О/у, confirming the fact that the applicant does not use psychoactive substances.
Then they undergo training to master a course on safe loading of cartridges and handling smooth-bore weapons. The exception is cases when the applicant is related to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Ministry of Justice. The list of organizations entitled to provide training was approved by government decree No. 731 of 2001:
- Educational institutions that teach FC and C programs, in which there are disciplines directly related to the rules for the use of weapons;
- Sports and physical education organizations, which include sports clubs, Federations, educational institutions that provide training according to relevant programs.
After receiving the certificates, they are taken to the OLRR and await a decision from the permitting department. Lawyers of the MIP group will help in obtaining a license and resolving conflicts and controversial situations that arise during registration.
In the previous edition, the clause on the carrying of weapons by Russians with appropriate permits provided for the ability to carry them only during hunting, sporting events, training and shooting exercises. All these points are preserved in the new edition of the rules and are supplemented with the words “and also for the purposes of self-defense.”
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already stated that the changes made do not essentially change anything, are of a clarifying nature and preserve the existing procedure for the circulation of civilian weapons in the country. What is this order? Pravmir has prepared a short information.
1. What weapons can citizens not own?
Russia does not provide for the legal possession by citizens of short-barreled military weapons - pistols and revolvers, as well as any weapons with automatic fire - machine guns, submachine guns. Such weapons are a monopoly of state security forces.
2. What weapons can be purchased legally?
Subject to obtaining a special license from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, citizens can legally purchase: hunting weapons, self-defense weapons, sports weapons, signal weapons and bladed weapons, which are worn with a Cossack uniform or national costume.
Hunting weapon It can be smooth-bore or rifled.
Smoothbore - classic break-even double-barreled and single-barreled shotguns, semi-automatic shotguns, pump-action and other multi-shot shotguns that are reloaded manually.
Rifled - rifles and carbines (short rifles). Among the hunting rifled weapons, there are many converted from army samples and sometimes not much different from the prototypes. A Russian hunter can own a sniper rifle or carbine based on a Kalashnikov assault rifle or a foreign assault rifle.
There are also combined weapons that combine a smooth and rifled barrel, as well as a hunting pneumatic weapon with a muzzle energy of up to 25 J.
The main difference between hunting firearms and combat firearms is the possibility of automatic fire and magazine capacity. Hunting weapons must exclude burst fire and have a magazine (drum) capacity of no more than 10 rounds. In addition, for hunting weapons there are restrictions on the size (minimum length) and types of ammunition used (it is prohibited to shoot military ammunition).
Hunting knives, classified as weapons according to a number of parameters, are also considered hunting weapons and require permission to purchase.
Sports weapons— smoothbore shotguns for clay pigeon and practical shooting, sports rifles (for example, for biathlon).
Self-defense weapons or firearms of limited destruction - pistols and revolvers with rubber (elastic) bullets, known as “traumatic guns” or “rubber arrows”. Often produced by remaking combat samples. They have obstacles in the barrel that, when fired, can only be overcome by an elastic bullet, but not by a hard one. The muzzle energy of civilian firearms with limited impact must not exceed 91 J.
Self-defense weapons also include hunting smoothbore guns loaded with traumatic cartridges (with a light elastic bullet or buckshot). This category also includes gas pistols and revolvers, mechanical sprayers of tear or irritant substances, devices for firing flash-noise cartridges, as well as some stun guns (according to a number of parameters).
Signal weapon- the so-called “rocket launchers”.
Cossack and national weapons- edged bladed weapons worn with a Cossack uniform or national costume (checkers, daggers, etc.)
