How to obtain a permit for a hunting weapon? This is not so difficult to do if you do not have any serious mental or physical illnesses, you are clean before the law and have time to complete the document. The permit is issued in the linear permitting department, to which you will need to contact with the list of documents described in this article. Also, all the intricacies of the process of obtaining a license and the factors due to which your request may be denied are described below.

Important! Please keep in mind that:

• Each case is unique and individual.
• A thorough study of the issue does not always guarantee a positive outcome. It depends on many factors.

To get the most detailed advice on your issue, you just need to follow any of the suggested options:

The step-by-step procedure for purchasing a hunting weapon consists of the following stages.

1. You need to decide in advance what type of weapon you want to purchase and for what purpose. In this case, a hunting rifle (smoothbore or rifled).
2. Contact a special store licensed to sell weapons and ask what type of license (permit) is required to purchase the selected gun.
3. Buy a safe of a suitable size, which is required for storage.
4. Collect the necessary documents and visit the linear permitting department, writing an application there.
5. Pay the state fee.
6. Then, when your application has been reviewed, present a receipt for payment of the state fee, and only after that you will be able to pick up your permit to purchase a weapon.

Important: before you go to apply for permission to purchase a gun, you must purchase a safe to store it in advance.

It is for this reason that you need to know in advance the dimensions of the desired weapon, because without them you will not be able to choose the appropriate size safe and, therefore, install it. The safe should be slightly larger than the selected weapon, that is, the gun should be easily inserted and removed to eliminate the possibility of emergencies during its storage. This is done in advance because during the consideration of your request with a petition, the district police officer is obliged to come to you in order to make sure that the storage conditions meet the requirements. After inspecting the safe, a report is drawn up, and if the safe is the wrong size or type for the gun, you may be denied a license.

The application for a license must be filled out while in the licensing department, where you will be given a standard form. A sample application can be downloaded here.

LRO employees are given 10 days to consider the application, after which they will either issue you a permit or notify you of the refusal of the application.

Obtaining permission to store and carry a gun

Obtaining permission to store and carry a hunting rifle is an initial and mandatory step, without which the purchase of a weapon will be impossible.

The package of necessary documents for obtaining a license includes:

• application of the established form;
• a copy of the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• photo format 35x45 in the amount of 2 pieces;
• a certificate confirming that you have undergone a medical examination with a note that you do not have any contraindications for using weapons (a report from a psychological and drug treatment clinic, a clinic at your place of residence, or a police station);
• a copy of the hunting license;
• a report on compliance with the storage conditions of the gun, drawn up by the district police officer who conducted the inspection;
• receipt for payment of state duty.

When you first obtain a license, you will be required to pass a standard test on your knowledge of the rules of operation of weapons and their use in emergency situations.

To obtain a license for a hunting shotgun, you must present documents proving that you have the right to hunt. Such paper can be requested from the hunting association in which hunters usually belong.

If you collect guns and do not intend to use them for their intended purpose in the future, then you do not need to issue a hunting license. Military personnel and police officers receive a license for a hunting rifle in the usual manner, since it does not belong to the category of service weapons, but is intended for personal purposes.

When submitting a package of documents to the LRO, it is advisable to have with you the originals of all papers that you provide as a copy.

Factors for refusal to issue a permit to store and carry a gun may include:

• incorrectly specified or omitted personal data;
• lack of a medical certificate about absent diseases, such as, for example, epilepsy, depression, somatic disorders, brain tumor;
• undergoing observation in a psychiatric or neurological clinic;
• conviction and serving a sentence for committing intentional crimes or crimes using firearms;
• systematic non-compliance with administrative regulations (violation more than 2 times during the year);
• lack of own real estate or permanent residence;
• lack of a document indicating completion of training courses on the use and maintenance of weapons (before, after and during operation);
• lack of suitable storage conditions.

How to obtain a license for a rifle?

You can obtain a license for a rifled weapon, in our case a hunting rifle, only after 5 years of proper operation of a smooth-bore weapon. In addition, in order to obtain a second permit, it is necessary to have original documents consisting of a valid permit to carry a shotgun and a hunting license.

The procedure for obtaining a license for a rifled hunting rifle is similar to the procedure for obtaining a permit for storing smooth-bore weapons.

A permit for a gun of this category may be refused for the following reasons:

1. If a person who has not reached the age of majority wants to obtain a license.
2. If a person who has any diseases or disabilities wants to get a weapons permit.
3. The collected documents are not authentic or valid.
4. There was no personal visit to obtain a license within two weeks of receiving the notice.
5. As well as all the general reasons for refusing to consider a petition (described in the previous section).

The process of obtaining a license to purchase weapons and a permit to store and carry weapons (these are two inextricably linked documents, and you will have to obtain both of them) must begin by obtaining a medical certificate in form No. 002-O/u and a medical report in form No. 003- Statement about the absence of narcotic substances in the body (obtained together with a certificate). You can find out how to obtain such a certificate in our.

In addition, you will need to undergo training in the safety and handling of weapons, unless you are serving in a state paramilitary organization and have a military or special rank or class rank of justice. Training is provided by licensed organizations, and their list changes periodically. Check out the list of government organizations that provide training, but there are many private companies that provide such services. The most current list of places where weapons training is conducted can be found in your district licensing and permitting department (OLRR).

Please note that you can undergo a medical examination and learn the rules of handling weapons at the same time.

After receiving medical documents and completing training, you will need to contact the district department for licensing and permitting (OLRR) at your place of residence and provide a package of documents.

2. What documents will be needed to obtain a license to purchase weapons of limited destruction?

To apply for a license to purchase weapons of limited destruction, you will need the following documents:

• application for a permit to purchase weapons and ammunition (application form);
• passport of a Russian citizen;
• medical certificate in form No. 002-О/у;
• medical report in form No. 003-O/u on the absence of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their metabolites in the human body;
• a document confirming the completion of appropriate training and periodic testing of knowledge of the rules for safe handling of weapons and the availability of skills in safe handling of weapons (not provided if you are serving in a state paramilitary organization and have a military or special rank or class rank of justice);
• a document confirming the availability of the appropriate status for applicants who have not undergone appropriate training and testing of knowledge of the rules of safe handling of weapons and the presence of skills in safe handling of weapons (provided if you are serving in a state paramilitary organization and have a military or special rank or class rank of justice).

In addition, you will need to pay a state fee for issuing a license. If you plan to purchase several weapons at once, you will need to pay state duty for each of them.

Your application will be considered within a month. During this time, the district police officer must check the presence of a gun safe at your place of residence. That is, by the time of inspection, you should already have a gun safe installed that matches the size and type of weapon you are purchasing. The district inspector must check storage conditions at least once a year. You can find the contacts of your local police officer using the service on the website of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

3. What to do after receiving a license?

A month after submitting the documents, the district department for licensing and permitting will issue you one or two licenses to purchase traumatic weapons (depending on the number you indicated in the application). The license is valid for 6 months. During this time you will need to purchase a weapon. If during this time you do not use the license, it will need to be returned to the Licensing and Permitting Department (LPR).

The physically issued document consists of three identical parts (one of them is called a license, the other two are duplicates), one of the parts will remain with the seller after the purchase, the second is transferred to the OLRR, and the third remains in your hands.

To purchase a weapon in a store, you must go there with a passport and a purchase license. After the purchase, instead of a license, you will have in your hands the weapon itself, a technical passport and a duplicate of the license.

If you buy a weapon secondhand, you can re-register it at the nearest weapons store or at the licensing department at the place of residence of the weapons seller. In any case, you will have everything the same in your hands - the weapon itself, a technical passport and a duplicate license.
