Today, traumatic weapons are becoming more and more popular. And no wonder: this is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect yourself in a dangerous situation. After deciding to purchase such an item, the question always arises as to whether a permit for a traumatic weapon or an appropriate license is necessary.
Yes, of course, necessary. There is a specific procedure for obtaining permission for a traumatic weapon. The reason lies in the appointment of injuries. It is worth understanding: what is it and how is it different from conventional weapons? The federal law “On Weapons” does not give a clear definition of firearms, but we can find it in the relevant orders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the implementation of the policy of the Government of the Russian Federation. Theoretically, it was created specifically for self-defense and is a non-lethal weapon, i.e. it must not cause serious injury or injury. However, in practice, this depends on numerous factors, such as the distance of use of the weapon, the nature of the injuries inflicted, the location of the hit, and so on.
It is worthwhile to figure out if permission for a traumatic weapon is needed, and if so, why. Of course, it is necessary. The state is obliged to control the sale of weapons, as well as keep records of citizens possessing them. And here the fact that traumatic weapons are intended to cause minor injuries no longer plays a role. It still poses a danger with inept and inappropriate use. That is why there is a need to obtain permission for traumatic weapons.
So, there are a number of actions that need to be done to obtain such permission. Despite the prevailing opinion, it is not so difficult. Almost any citizen of Russia can obtain permission for traumatic weapons. To do this, he needs to purchase a safe for the size of the weapon, and then attach it to the wall or floor. In addition, you will have to collect a number of documents: a medical certificate, a special document stating that training has been completed, 7 photos, a receipt for payment. Let us dwell on each item from the list. Obtaining a medical certificate is not difficult. It will be necessary to pay its cost, and then undergo a medical examination (about ten doctors).
Then you need to undergo training, it includes a theoretical exam (questions can be bought or found on the Internet), as well as a practical one. He consists in visiting the shooting range and shooting at targets. In the end, you will need to pass an exam on a computer. 10 questions will be asked with the opportunity to make a mistake once. Then you need to fill out the application of the established form in the licensing authority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and pay the
state duty, the amount of which depends on the weapons you purchase. Employees are then required to go to your home and check for a safe and bars (if you live on the ground floor). If all goes well, you will receive permission for a traumatic weapon.
It is worth saying about what will happen if you decide to buy a traumatic weapon without permission. Very often there are situations when they offer this product without any documents. Remember that this is fraught with consequences, namely criminal liability. The quality of such weapons is also doubtful. It can not only be faulty, but even harm the owner himself.
