Permit for traumatic weapons

To use a weapon, you must have a permit. A permit is especially important for traumatic weapons, which can cause serious harm if fired at a person. The need to obtain this document is included in the regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. Weapons are goods whose circulation is limited due to their danger. To obtain permission to legally store the item in question, you must prove your ability to handle it. Only after a weapon license has been obtained can it be used without fear of punishment. Therefore, if you plan to obtain a traumatic weapon, you should take care of obtaining a permit for it. We’ll talk further about how and where to do this.

Features of obtaining a permit for traumatic weapons in 2022

If a person plans to buy a traumatic weapon, you should remember that you cannot get it without a license. Therefore, you should find out how to obtain a permit to carry a weapon. To obtain such a document, you must submit a request to receive the item in question to the police. In addition to the application, it is necessary to submit certificates confirming the absence of medical regulations prohibiting the issuance of such a permit. For example, about mental health conditions, alcoholism or drug addiction.

To obtain the certificates in question, you need to go to any convenient hospital (public or private). The main thing is that the medical institution meets the standards set by the government of the Russian Federation. But in order for the certificate to be issued, you need to take your passport with you. It cannot be replaced with another document. Therefore, make sure that the document is available. If you lose it, you must restore it and only then apply for all the necessary certificates.

Among the specialists whose visits are required when obtaining a medical certificate are:

psychiatrist;
narcologist;
therapist;
ophthalmologist.

After each specialist examines the person who contacts him, he can draw up a conclusion. Each professional makes his own conclusion, which indicates whether a person can use a traumatic weapon.

When choosing a clinic where a person will undergo examination, you need to pay attention to the fact that it has all the necessary doctors. In private clinics, some specialists are often absent, so they have to be looked for elsewhere. For example, in state dispensaries. Therefore, in order not to look for the opportunity to undergo examination in several places, it is advisable to seek help from a hospital where there are all the necessary specialists, especially highly specialized ones.

Next, an expert commission is formed, which concludes whether a person can obtain permission to carry weapons, and whether he will pose a threat to himself and others. But the document will be valid only if the clinic is under government control. If the hospital is private, then the clinic’s license must be added to the conclusion of its specialists, confirming its right to issue such certificates. Otherwise, the doctors' conclusion will not have legal force.

Civilian and service weapons must be stored in conditions that ensure their safety, security of storage and prevent access to them by unauthorized persons.”

In short, to store any weapon, a citizen must have a safe installed, the keys to which must be held only by the owner of the weapon, so that no stranger can take and use his weapon. By the way, the impossibility of ensuring the accounting and safety of weapons or the failure to ensure these conditions is one of the grounds for refusing to issue a license for an LLC.

age of majority (the applicant for a permit to carry a traumatic weapon must be over 18 years old);

Where to study

To obtain the right to keep weapons, citizens must undergo preliminary training in handling traumatic equipment and safety measures. This can be done in specialized courses, which are conducted by many training centers in St. Petersburg. Institutions that provide such knowledge must have a special permit and conduct training according to a unified program.

The standard training period is 1 working day. But some organizations may increase it to 2-4 days for better assimilation of the program. During the training, citizens are provided with theoretical information, and then the practical part of the training is offered. The degree of assimilation of the information received is checked using the final certification.

To take the course, Russians will also need to provide some documents:

passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. It is worth considering that only a Russian citizen who has permanent registration has the right to deal with weapons. Other persons will be denied participation in the courses;
documents confirming the completion of psychoneurological and drug testing;
three b/w photographs in 3x4 format;
application for courses. A sample of it will be offered to the applicant at the training center.

The cost of training varies between 4-6 thousand rubles.

If the person is under 21 years of age, the application will be denied. At the same time, there are a number of conditions that include the absence of mental disorders, resistance to extreme situations, stability, fulfillment of all necessary requirements for the storage and operation of weapons and the provision of the necessary package of documents.
Persons with an outstanding criminal record. These are people who are serving a suspended sentence or probation. Persons who have committed a crime of a certain severity may also be denied access. Moderate - only 3 years after serving the sentence, severe - after 6 and especially serious - after 8. Persons involved in violating public order are limited to a year.
Various reasons related to health or other circumstances. Any dubious information may contribute to the refusal to obtain a license.

State duty - how much and how to pay

The amount of payment depends on the following factors:

how often the user applies for a document for permission to own a weapon;
what type of equipment does a Russian want to buy?

Previously, to obtain a license for traumatic equipment, it was necessary to pay a 200 ruble state fee. Today the amount of fees has increased to 2000 rubles. You can pay the state fee at payment terminals, Sberbank ATMs, bank branches or on the State Services portal.
