Do I need a permit for traumatic weapons in 2022?

Traumatic weapons were previously unofficially called “non-lethal”. However, due to the increasing frequency of accidents when using it, it is difficult to call it such. Such weapons include:

• civilian firearms without a barrel;
• gas pistols and revolvers (with rubber bullets);
• limited-kill firearms;
• service firearms of limited destruction (cartridges of traumatic effect).

The purpose of using these types is the self-defense of persons from criminal attacks on life and health (in other categories of crimes, the use of such weapons in defense is unacceptable) of themselves, as well as persons close to them. Is it possible to buy weapons without a license and permission? In order to purchase one of these types of weapons (except for service weapons), you must undergo special training and obtain a license . This is a requirement.

Where to start registering weapons

Traumatic weapons do not suddenly appear in the form of a gift, so the acquisition must be carefully prepared, which will reduce time costs. It is recommended that you first familiarize yourself with the law on weapons in its latest edition. You can read the articles selectively, identifying those that relate to trauma. This law determines that a certain category of citizens cannot obtain a license.

• Minor citizens.
• Having an outstanding criminal record.
• Registered with a narcologist or psychiatrist.
• Having punishments under an article of the administrative code related to violation of public order.

If you do not fit into any of these categories, then you can safely start collecting documents. Let’s imagine a step-by-step algorithm that must be followed so as not to waste time running through the authorities several times.

The legislative framework

1. Federal Law No. 150 “On Weapons”. This act regulates the grounds for issuing a license for certain types of weapons, their circulation on the territory of the Russian Federation, the use and grounds for refusal or cancellation of permission to issue weapons.
2. Government Decree No. 865 of August 28, 2012, which contains the Regulations on the use and circulation of firearms.
3. Government Decree No. 814 of July 21, 1998, which also contains provisions on the circulation of weapons.
4. Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 288 of 04/12/1999, which is an instruction to the above-mentioned Resolution No. 814.
5. Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 408 of 05/05/2012, which regulates the procedure for issuing permits to persons to store weapons and ammunition for them.

Is it possible to buy an injury without a license?

Initially, anyone could have traumatic pistols. But due to the increasing number of cases of them causing serious harm to health, sometimes even fatal if they hit the eye or carotid artery at close range, Russian legislation has established a ban on the free sale of this means of self-defense without a special license to carry, store and purchase. Despite the fact that, compared to a military firearm, a traumatic pistol does not cause severe damage to health, its use is possible only if there is a real danger to the owner or close relatives.

Traumatic pistols include self-defense weapons that fire rubber bullets, the caliber (diameter) of which varies depending on the model.

The most popular models of traumatic weapons:

• “Osa” PB-4 is a barrelless version, which is a whole functional complex, with traumatic, light-sound, lighting, signal or aerosol cartridges. The initial muzzle power of 120 J was slightly reduced, which reduced the level of injuries. Available in several versions and widely used in various law enforcement agencies.
• The Makarych IZH-79 pistol is a clone of the famous PM Makarov’s firearm. Available in several types with different calibers of rubber cartridges: from 7.6 to 13 mm. The larger the diameter of the barrel, the higher the injury caused and the increase in impact force.
• “Groza R-04” is a reliable traumatic weapon with a 9 mm caliber, convenient and easy to use.

How and where can I obtain a purchase license?

A license is an authorization act for the acquisition of weapons of limited destruction, on the basis of which the weapon itself and permission to operate it are acquired.

The act is executed on a numbered form, which contains:

• photograph of the license holder;
• his full name;
• place of registration;
• date of issue and expiration of the license;
• name of the LRO and signature of the head of the department with a transcript.

The license is certified by two official seals of the Russian Guard: a seal that goes over the photo of the licensee and goes over the signature of the head of the department.

Reasons

A license for traumatic weapons is issued by the licensing and permitting department of the Russian Guard. His tasks include:

• issuing permission to purchase, store and use weapons;
• interaction with law enforcement agencies in solving crimes related to illegal weapons trafficking;
• interaction with society in order to prevent offenses and crimes in the above area.

The basis for obtaining a license is the following information presented by a citizen of the Russian Federation to the licensing and permitting department:

• personal statement of a citizen;
• applicant's passport;
• certificate of successful completion of training courses on safe handling of weapons;
• medical report on the absence of obstacles to the use of weapons (in form 002-О/у);
• certificates from PND and ND in form 003-О/у;
• receipt of payment of the state fee for purchasing a license;
• certificate of no criminal record.

The license gives the citizen the right to purchase a weapon within six months, after which it will be revoked.

Storage and carrying

Having one license is not enough. On its basis, weapons are purchased, but within 14 days after this, the person must also purchase a permit. It is given for a specific type of traumatic weapon.

The permit states:

1. model and caliber of weapon;
2. serial number;
3. validity period (date of issue and expiration of the permit - just like a license, the purchased weapon is valid for 5 years);
4. name of the authority that issued the permit;
5. Full name and signature of the head of the authority, as well as the official seal.

The following photo shows what a sample permit to carry and store weapons of limited destruction looks like:

Who issues?

What is needed to obtain a permit? The permit is issued by the licensing and permitting department of the Russian Guard upon presentation of a previously obtained license and the following list of documents:

• application for a permit;
• information about the purchased weapon.

A citizen must also have:

• specially equipped safe for storage;
• holster.

The purchase permit is valid for 5 years.

Is it possible to get permission quickly?

A license is issued within no more than a month from the date of registration of the application.

It is not possible to quickly obtain a permit for a traumatic weapon, since this process is regulated by law and such a document cannot be purchased in the metro. In any case, you will have to pass a medical examination in 2-3 days, successfully complete special courses (2-3 months), wait for the decision of the Russian Guard to refuse or allow the issuance of a permit, and only after that receive a ready permit.

Obtaining a permit for a traumatic weapon is possible both by independently collecting the necessary documents, and by contacting an organization that provides legal assistance in obtaining and renewing a permit. With the latter option, the process of obtaining permission will be slightly faster.

It is not recommended to resort to illegally acquiring a permit - in this case, you face criminal liability for forgery of documents.

Requirements for applicants

1. Applicant's age. In accordance with Federal Law No. 150, a person who has reached the age of 21 can purchase a traumatic weapon, but there is also an exception to this rule (from 18 years of age):
   citizens who have completed military service;
2. serving in state paramilitary bodies;
3. having a military rank or a class rank of justice.
4. No criminal record. Sometimes, not only a criminal record (including an expunged one), but also the very fact of being held criminally liable can become an obstacle.
5. No medical contraindications. We are talking not only about the certificates required for obtaining a license from a psychoneurological dispensary and a drug dispensary. The general medical certificate established by form 002-O/u requires the conclusion of a therapist and an ophthalmologist.
6. Citizens must take courses on the safe use of firearms.

Such courses can only be taught by organizations accredited by authorized government bodies.

Passing a medical examination and obtaining a certificate

Passing a medical commission is a mandatory procedure to obtain a license and permit. The applicant must pass:

• therapist;
• psychiatrist-neurologist;
• psychiatrist-narcologist;
• ophthalmologist.

A certificate in form 002-О/у (about the absence of contraindications to owning a weapon) is issued based on the conclusion of a therapist and an ophthalmologist. But before undergoing a general medical examination, a citizen must obtain certificates from a psychoneurological and drug dispensary (from which it is necessary to obtain a certificate in form 003-O/u confirming the absence of narcotic or psychotropic substances in the body). Both certificates are valid for 1 year.

A medical examination can be done both in a public clinic and in a private one, but provided that it has licenses:

1. to carry out the activities of a psychiatrist;
2. to carry out the activities of a narcologist;
3. for a medical examination.

Self-defense equipment that does not require a license

There are several types of self-defense means that do not require mandatory permission:

• Air pistols or revolvers - the muzzle force (power) should not exceed 7.5 J, and the bullet diameter should not exceed 4.5 mm.
• Gas cartridges with various fillings are especially popular among representatives of the “weaker sex”, they take up little space, and are easy to use. The main requirement for the owner is the age of majority.
• Stun guns - allow you to immobilize an attacker, operate on batteries and require skill to use. The maximum effect is achieved by direct touch, and this is not always possible, especially in winter.
• “Udar” is a device that is a combination of gas and pneumatic weapons that shoots special capsules containing liquid. It works well regardless of the weather or time of year.

The signal, noise, starting type pistol - “Zoraki 914” is not a military weapon and is used for its intended purpose in sports competitions. It creates a loud noise effect with the emission of flames and is more suitable for signaling in case of danger or as a dog repeller. The Zoraki model fires blank cartridges. By unscrewing and removing the special plug, the gun can be used as a flare gun. It is allowed to buy a Zoraki injury without a license, but using it as a means of self-defense is prohibited by law. In addition, there is also a prohibition on sending this product by mail.

Courses, training and exam

The course program usually includes three compulsory areas:

• basic firearms safety;
• legal aspects of the circulation and handling of weapons, as well as the rights and obligations of a person who has permission to use weapons;
• practical shooting lessons.

The training lasts 6 academic hours, excluding the exam. An educational organization must also have a number of criteria, namely: having a license and accreditation to carry out educational activities on training in the use of weapons.

In order to take courses, the organization or center that conducts such classes and issues certificates of completion must provide:

• passport and its copy (including the page about registration in the Russian Federation);
• medical certificates in forms 002-О/у and 003-О/у, which were mentioned earlier (they will then need to be provided to obtain a license);
• three photos of the student.

Upon completion of the theoretical and practical part of the training, the person is issued a certificate of completion of the courses.

Possible reasons for refusal

You can become familiar with the conditions that prevent you from obtaining a permit by studying the text of the Federal Law “On Weapons” No. 150. MFC and police employees are guided by the provisions of this Law, which imposes restrictions if the following conditions are met:

• health problems;
• presence of administrative offenses during the last year;
• current criminal record;
• inappropriate storage conditions, etc.

A police officer has the right to check compliance with the requirements of the law at any time and to cancel a previously issued document if violations are detected.
The procedure for obtaining and renewing a weapons permit in the Russian Federation is considered one of the most stringent. Only if all the requirements are met does a citizen have the opportunity to store and use “firearms” for personal purposes (without violating laws). Practice shows that contacting the MFC increases the chances and also reduces moral and material costs.

Proper storage

Government Decree No. 814 regulates the procedure for storing weapons , including traumatic weapons, and ammunition for them in Art. 59. The citizen undertakes to install a safe or metal cabinet (or wooden, but lined with iron material), which will be closed from unauthorized persons with a combination or other lock. Wherein:

1. safe wall thickness – at least 1 mm;
2. must be mounted on bolts of at least 6 mm thickness;
3. The safe itself is located indoors.

When applying for a license and permit, an OLRR employee will conduct an on-site inspection to ensure that the safe is present and installed correctly. In addition to the safe, the person will need a holster in which to carry a weapon.

Purchasing a safe

A gun safe is not a personal desire, but a real requirement. The fact is that the law establishes a procedure for issuing a weapons permit, which clearly states that during the period of verification of the submitted documents, the local inspector conducts an inspection of the place and conditions of storage of weapons. Later, the inspector is required to submit a report to the department based on the results of the inspection.

In practice, you should do things a little differently. First, a safe is purchased and installed in the room. The safe must be attached to the wall and lock securely. Then a police officer is invited, who immediately writes a report on the inspection. The citizen attaches this conclusion to all other documents.

How much does it cost: state duty and other expenses

First of all, in order to obtain a permit and license, a person will have to pay for training courses on handling weapons , the cost varies depending on the center or organization. The average price varies from 4.5 to 6 thousand rubles. Secondly, a medical commission can also cost a pretty penny.

If it is produced in government institutions, only chemical and toxicological research will be paid. Each region sets its own price (on average, it will range from 1 to 4.5 thousand rubles).

License and permit for traumatic weapons, in accordance with Art. 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, subject to state duty:

• issuance of a license – 2000 rubles;
• issuing a permit – 500 rubles.

Subsequently, both the license and the permit are subject to renewal (500 rubles for a permit; 250 rubles for renewal of a license).
