Every citizen of our country has the right to purchase, carry and use (under certain conditions) civilian and hunting weapons. True, this process is highly bureaucratic in order to minimize the likelihood of a gunshot falling into the hands of criminals, drug addicts, and people with mental disabilities.
general information
To purchase weapons, you must have a license. The procedure for obtaining it is under the close supervision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. To get a firearm, you need to pass an exam for a weapon license. Only persons who have been trained and have mastered the basics of working with him are allowed to him. It should be noted that due to the increased number of crimes, the rules for issuing licenses have been relatively tightened recently.
What can people gain? Here is a list of items available for purchase:
- Weapons for sports shooting.
- Gunshot for self defense.
- Signal weapons (also known as noise or launch pistols).
- Blades.
- Hunting edged and firearms.
In addition, you should not forget about certain restrictions. These are:
- The age of the applicant. A person must be over 18 at the time of obtaining the license.
- There should be no medical contraindications. These include mental disorders, drug addiction, substance abuse, serious visual impairment.
- The presence of an outstanding conviction, which was given for a deliberate crime.
- Commission of an administrative violation (provided that it occurred less than a year ago).
- Lack of permanent residence.
- Man is caught spreading psychotropic substances. In this case, you can forget about obtaining a license.
What do you need to know?
First of all, the fact that a passing test for carrying a weapon, its storage and use is provided for. The process itself is built in the form of a small conversation when it is necessary to answer a number of questions.
There is also an option with testing. It should be noted that, although the passing of exams for weapons is prescribed by law, it is quite common that a person simply submits documents and then receives a license. This is due to the peculiarity of the work of various responsible structures. Nevertheless, such connivance should not be put on. Therefore, it is necessary to read the law “On Weapons”. It deserves close attention to articles 17, 22 and 24. In addition, the Criminal Code is useful.
Particular attention should be paid to Articles 37, 38, 39, 222 and 224. The Administrative Code should also not be forgotten. It should examine articles 20.8, 20.11, 20.12 and 20.13. And another important point - the owner of civilian weapons is not required to be able to provide first aid. Nevertheless, it is necessary to study the procedure for its provision, because questions on this topic can be asked. After all, it is unpleasant if the passing of exams for weapons is unsuccessful because of such a trifle.
Additional preparation
Training on sites where you can take a virtual exam will be a good practice before trying your hand at real world conditions. In addition, there you can find detailed answers to the proposed tickets. It should be noted that the type of test and questions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs may differ. But if you pass the preliminary training, then pass the official exam will be an order of magnitude easier.
Example of training and obtaining a license
And now let's take a step-by-step look at how this process looks. Passing an examination for a weapons permit along with official training takes three days. Before this, it is necessary to pay for training, hand over the required documents and write a statement. Initially, attention is paid exclusively to theory. Laws, legal norms are studied, all tickets are considered. In addition, attention is paid to various situations of the use of weapons in life.
It should be noted that I have to write quite a lot. Therefore, it is better not to count on formal change. It should be remembered that the replay is paid. During training, three brochures are issued:
- Considering aspects of the legal training of the future owner of a weapon. It contains fifty questions.
- Considering aspects of fire training. It contains thirty questions.
- Considering aspects of first aid. It contains thirty questions.
Also often provided is the address of the site where you can train in the exam.
On the way to license
Theoretical questions for passing the exam for weapons are considered on the first day. The second is the turn to get acquainted with a firearm in practice. The first half of the lesson provides an introduction to the construction of weapons and the consolidation of a number of practical skills. Among them: basic movements, racks, proper retention, charging / discharging.
The second half of the lesson is dedicated to shooting. Originally used cartridges blanks. After the student begins to confidently hold the weapon in his hands, shooting with live ammunition begins. As a training model of weapons, they often give out something small-caliber. In this case, it is necessary to carry out a specific program of action. For example, passing examinations for traumatic weapons requires that a person must pull a pistol out of its holster in five seconds and fire two shots at a target. In this case, you must definitely get into at least the markup. If the program is not completed, come for a retake in two weeks.
Final stage
The third day is the final passing of exams for weapons. Initially, there is a theory on the computer. You must answer ten tickets. Then comes the turn of practice. It, as well as preparation, provides for the presence of two stages. The blanks are initially shot, and then the use of live ammunition begins. It is worth recognizing that for beginners, the percentage of change is very small.
After all, it’s very difficult to train a person who has never held a gun or rifle in three days (and in fact one). Although if you have army experience, it will be a little easier. In addition, you can pre-train using pneumatic models. Only for this case, it is necessary to choose copies of military weapons, which has a movable shutter and simulated recoil.
Obtaining a license for hunting weapons
Let's look at an example that can often be found in our conditions. To obtain a document, you should contact the licensing department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is better to pre-call and clarify whether it is possible to draw up paper on a weapon. Also there you should familiarize yourself with the list of documents that are needed to issue a permit for hunting weapons.
If it has already been decided what to take, then you should not be lazy and you need to purchase the appropriate weapon safe in size. When the choice has not yet been made, you need to buy a large-sized storage. This option is preferable in case you plan to purchase several more shotgun units, because in this case all of them fit easily in it.
If there is no safe, the district police officer will not issue a certificate of the possibility of storing weapons in the house. If there is a desire to save, then it is better to purchase it directly from the manufacturer, and not in hunting stores. After all, the difference in price can reach 50%. Without a safe, passing examinations for hunting weapons does not make sense. After all, without fulfilling all the requirements, it’s still impossible to acquire a firearm.
Hard way to end
Upon receipt of hunting weapons, the state duty on weapons should be paid. Then the inspector is provided with a package of documents, among which:
- Application for a license.
- Copies of several pages of the passport. These are spreads of the 2nd and 3rd pages, an indication of the place of residence, as well as the original for verification.
- Three 3x4 photos.
- Receipt of payment of duty.
- A medical certificate, which indicates whether a person has contraindications to the use of weapons.
- Photocopy of a hunting ticket.
The law defines the month to prepare a license. If the passing of exams for weapons has not been delayed, then it is for such a period that you need to navigate in order to feel like the owner of a firearm.
