According to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, weapons are included in the category of items with restricted circulation. This means that you can legally become its owner only if you meet certain requirements and receive the appropriate permission.

A normative act regulating the scope of handling various types weapons and ammunition from a legal point of view, is Federal Law No. 150 (FZ 150).

General information

The purpose of the law is to protect the life and health of citizens, maintain public order and safety, and protect nature.

Structurally, Federal Law 150 is not divided into chapters. All provisions of the law are spelled out in 32 articles, covering the following aspects:

• Basic concepts and definitions;
• Classification of product types;

Features of storing weapons according to Federal Law 150

The possibility and rules for storing weapons and ammunition for them are established by Article 22 of Federal Law 150. This article of the law directly concerns the storage of civilian and service weapons, which are allowed to be owned by persons who have received permission. Such permission is issued by the relevant public service— in particular, by internal affairs bodies with powers in the field of arms trafficking. Such documents include permission to store or keep and carry. If the purchased products themselves do not require licensing or registration, then there is no need to confirm the right to store them.

Sports organizations and citizens who have weapons and ammunition used for sports at their disposal are required by law to apply to the internal affairs authorities to obtain permission to store them. Essential requirements for storage conditions of such products:

• Citizen members of sports shooting clubs have the right to store their weapons only at sports facilities on the territory of which training and competitions are held;
• The sports organization must equip a separate special storage facility for these purposes;
• It is prohibited by law to store firearms at the shooting range during a break in shooting, as well as to leave them at the firing line without supervision;
• The procedure for accepting for storage and issuing for use sporting weapons is approved by state bodies.

There is a restriction for citizens of other countries to store weapons purchased on the territory of the Russian Federation. They are required by law to store the product for no more than 10 days from the date of purchase on the basis of the acquisition license, excluding access to it by unauthorized persons.

Possession of firearms that are not the property of a person, having been found or illegally transferred, is prohibited. The product is subject to immediate withdrawal. Behind illegal possession the violator faces punishment in the form of administrative or criminal liability.

The conditions for keeping firearms and bladed weapons must ensure their safety, security and prevent access to the product by unauthorized persons. The requirements for these conditions are contained in the document developed by the Russian Government in 1998. Key points: products must be stored at the owner’s home in locked safes, metal cabinets or drawers. By law, police officers have the right to conduct inspections to ensure compliance with storage conditions once a year.

Positions related to the storage and accounting of weapons and ammunition cannot be held by citizens who have previously violated the law: with an unexpunged or unexpunged conviction for an intentional crime, as well as those who have been subject to a court ban on participation in professional or entrepreneurial activity in the field of arms trafficking.

Punishment for distribution

The first article of the law describes what the concept of “weapons circulation” includes: production, trade, donation, collecting, exhibiting, accounting, storage, carrying, transportation, use, removal, destruction, import and export outside Russia.

Article 18 of the law outlines the circle of persons who have the right to trade in civilian and service weapons and the documentary grounds that give them such a right. Requirements for conducting trade are also prescribed. A rule has been established according to which the sale of a product and kits for it that do not have a number is prohibited in the absence of a declaration or certificate of conformity. The cultural value of the item also matters.

Federal Law 150 defines the list of persons who have the right to purchase weapons, regulates the procedure for their sale and transfer to state paramilitary organizations (Article 19), and prescribes the rules for controlling circulation (Article 28).

Punishment for the illegal distribution of weapons is established in Russia in Article 222 and depends on the type of product put into circulation illegally, the severity of the crime committed and circumstances, such as: the number of participants, the degree of organization of the group, etc. The main punishment is imprisonment.

In addition, the main crimes and violations in the sphere of trafficking include:

• Illegal manufacturing (Article 223 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation);
• Negligent storage (Article 224 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation);
• Inadequate security of weapons, resulting in their theft, destruction or other grave consequences (Article 225 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation);
• Theft or extortion (Article 226 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation);

Possibility of using weapons according to the law

Russian citizens have the right to use weapons legally in their possession under the following circumstances:

• As a necessary measure to protect life, health and property in case of emergency;
• By clearly expressing a warning about the intention to use a weapon to the person against whom it is used, unless delay creates an even greater danger and serious consequences for life and health. Third parties must not be harmed by the defense;
• The law prohibits the use of firearms against women, minors, and the disabled if the signs are obvious. The exception is when these individuals are armed or commit a group attack;

An erudite consultant knowledgeable of the law about weapons with changes for 2018, will give answers to all questions about cold steel, firearms and other types. Members of the State Duma, commenting on the innovations, admitted that the increased number of cases of civilians using traumatic weapons forced them to take tougher measures.

It is pointless to enter into a debate on this issue, since the leaders of some parties believe that the civilian population should be completely prohibited from maintaining protective equipment (PRP). This also applies to residents of the Kyrgyz Republic, LPR, and RK.

1. provides a classification of weapons (cold, hand-held, combat, small arms and other types; barrel length also affects the classification);

The innovation affected the provisions on traumatic, firearms, and pneumatic weapons (those written off do not apply to firearms). Transportation, which requires a permit, has not gone unnoticed. The requirements for a storage safe are specified.

Weapons Law Article 13

Article 13 - regulation of the rights to acquire SO by citizens of the Russian Federation - is a kind of protection (protection) of the life of the public. Federal Law on amendments to Art. 13 passed the "weapons" law The State Duma 03/21/2014 to comply with the decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. The addition affected the conditions for purchasing a hunting rifle.

Appendix Part 10 Article 13 is excluded. This article is provided to establish a ban on acquiring CO for persons who have had a criminal record for committing serious or especially serious offenses. This is a forced measure aimed at ensuring the safety of citizens.

About hunting with rifled weapons

The presentation of changes to the bill on hunting weapons caused a public outcry. Not all hunters liked the tougher requirements. If earlier, having violated the hunting rule, one could only pay a fine, now if such a case occurs again within a year, a hunting enthusiast will completely lose his ticket, license, with the subsequent confiscation of his gun and cartridges. It is possible to purchase a sporting firearm with a rifled barrel only for Olympic sports.

Law on hunting weapons in the new edition 2018

Amendments to the law under consideration led to its tightening. The poachers are supposed to have their hunting tickets taken away and their licenses revoked. April 2014 is characterized by the entry into force of amendments to Article 13 of the Weapons Law, the extension of which will continue.

Any person who has had two reports for failure to pay a fine for violating traffic rules in a year will lose a valid permit and the shooting device itself.

The new version of the Weapons Law 2017 with comments

Arms Act: 2017(1)

Knowledgeable people note that for all the positive and long-awaited moments (I wonder what they are?), there are several very unpleasant ones.

When applying for a permit, you must justify in writing the need for weapons, as well as describe the storage conditions. The licensing authority considers all applications strictly individually and may refuse to issue a permit for a weapon (purchase) if it considers the proposed justification to be insufficient. Of course, persons suspected of threatening public safety, those punished for violent crimes, etc. will be denied. When applying for additional weapons, you will need to explain why the previous ones are missing.

When replacing a permit, for example, if its validity period expires, it is also necessary to justify the need for weapons. This is supposedly necessary so that the gun owner can himself analyze the need to own a gun, which, in turn, should help reduce the number of passive gun owners who do not use them and do not maintain their skills in safe handling of weapons, etc.

When replacing an expiring permit to carry for self-defense, you must pass a weapons handling exam. This, however, does not apply to active hunters and athletes.

For now we are talking only about the project and there is hope that common sense will prevail and the criteria for assessing the need for weapons will be finalized.

“For security reasons,” persons who own more than 8 weapons must obtain a collecting permit. A weapons storage facility is also required.

Permission can also be obtained in in electronic format, i.e. To confirm its presence, it is sufficient to present any identification document. This is probably a plus.

Purchased weapons are not required to be carried to register with the prefecture.

The total number of cartridges for athletes is limited to 5000 pieces. Some are already unhappy.

Share who else has read something interesting. In general, it is interesting to read the explanatory note to the draft law. There's a lot of interesting stuff there, as usual.

So I’m saying, if a person has not broken any laws and knows how to use a penis, and he clearly needs it, then permitting authorities should not have the opportunity to refuse permission to have a penis on the principle that something bad will happen.

When applying for a permit, you must justify in writing the need for weapons, as well as describe the storage conditions.

When I applied for a carbine in January, I wrote this essay)

Dmitry, have you already got hold of a carbine? quote:

Dmitry, have you already got hold of a carbine?

No, I'm waiting for permission. According to the law, up to 2 months, and since I am a foreigner, they can extend it for another 30 days. Although, a letter came from the Police and Border Guard Department that they had begun work on the application. There was also a local police officer. I only filed on January 27th.

(I did not pass the exam and do not need to take it, since I have the appropriate permit for weapons in another country)

In general, everything usually fits into 2 weeks, but the locals have to send a request, wait for an answer, then clarify, wait again.

But this, by the way, is another novelty in the new law: foreigners will take the exam on the same basis as locals, even despite having a valid permit in their homeland.

And rightly so, I suppose. (However, I hurried to submit the documents, although I did complete the training - it was very useful, including practice with PM)

send a request, wait for a response, then clarify, wait again

Like that, I also got a certificate of no criminal record - according to the law it is required to be attached to the application. Additionally, they took copies of hunting tickets (state and hunting organizations), and a sports book. Not necessarily, but they took all copies. I'm waiting, in general.

So, during the validity period of the purchase permit, you can prepare the safe. It seems to work for a few months.

In April-May I will have the opportunity to make a safe according to my own drawings at the cost of the material. The disadvantage is that I don’t know exactly when, the start of work is not up to me. so I’d better wait a little, especially since the courses will start in March and end in May.

There is such a letter. For example, if we shoot a gun, a carbine and a pistol (at 9 and 40). Yes, sometimes we go hunting p.308

There are months when 2-3 thousand nines are shot. It happens - one thousand 223 and 12 cal. And if you are thoughtfully preparing for serious competitions, you need to shoot a lot with ONE batch of cartridges and take it with you to competitions (and here there may be 1 K. Yes for preparation. And what if you also shoot something from a different caliber at the same time? And not everyone has magazines close at hand. And often there is an assortment of that. Yes, and it may stupidly not be. The year before last there were no 223 cartridges in stores. Absolutely. None. Even Barnaul was raked out.

Eelnõu 1 punkti 24 kohaselt täiendatakse RelvS-i 35 lõiget 2 punktiga 6, milles sätestatakse, et soetamisloa või relvaloa saamiseks on taotleja kohustatud esitama dokumendi, mis tõendab vähemalt sellise 16-tunnise esma abikoolituse läbimist, mille on läbi viinud tervishoiutöötaja, kes on läbinud esmaabiõpetajate koolituskursuse ja omab sellekohast tunnistust.

In seletuskiri there are also interesting figures related to gun owners.

in 2012 658, and in 2016 (for 11 months) already 1247

Yeah, this was still in the amendments planned for 2015.

We need to google it, maybe they will allow needle bayonets, as they wanted then. Because what should the owner of a Mosin rifle do without a bayonet?

There are months when 2-3 thousand nines are shot. It happens - one thousand 223 and 12 cal. And if you thoughtfully prepare for serious starts

Have you seen why they advocate for restrictions? Allegedly (at least one of the reasons) if there is a fire, all the ammunition will go off at the same time. .

Federal Law “On Weapons” 2016 (No. 150-FZ 2016)

New gun law 2016

Let us recall that the initiator of its development and adoption was the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, who back in February 2010 drew the attention of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the fact that issues regarding the acquisition and use of traumatic weapons were extremely poorly regulated. In addition, in turn, the Ministry of Internal Affairs calculated that only in the last five years, with the use of traumatic weapons More than two thousand crimes were committed, as a result of which more than 60 people were killed.

Thus, work on the new 2016 weapons law began back in 2010. The initial goal of developing the document was to regulate the circulation of traumatic weapons; along the way, amendments also affected other types of weapons. What has changed due to the adoption of the new gun law?

According to the new legislative document, the procedure for purchasing, obtaining a license and owning a “traumatic vehicle” has significantly changed.

Thus, to store and carry traumatic weapons, it will be necessary not only to obtain a license, but also to renew it every five years. The amendments also affected the procedure for obtaining such a license, which added a mandatory stage of course training for the applicant for such a license.

The program of these courses includes not only technical issues of trauma, but also first aid techniques, articles and measures of responsibility from the sphere of criminal and administrative punishment. Gun owners are in for another “surprise” from the medical field - the need to undergo annual testing for the presence of psychotropic and narcotic substances in the body.
