The procedure for submitting a package of documents to obtain a permit for a hunting weapon
Obtaining a license to use smooth-bore weapons begins with an application to the special permitting and licensing departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is advisable to call there in advance and find out if it is possible to obtain a permit to carry a weapon from them. There you can also find out the list of documents required to obtain a license for a hunting weapon.
If you have already decided what kind of hunting weapon you want to purchase, then take the time to choose a gun safe. If you have not yet decided what kind of hunting rifle you will have, buy a safe of larger dimensions; any hunting weapon will fit there. Plus, you may want to purchase a few more guns for hunting in the future, and one large safe can easily accommodate them.
If you don’t worry about buying a gun safe in advance, the local police officer may not issue a certificate stating that you can store weapons at home, since the conditions for storing them are inadequate. And your explanations that there are no weapons yet will not help. It is better to buy and install a safe right away. It is better to purchase it not in hunting stores, but directly from the manufacturer, this will help you save up to 50 percent of the purchase amount.
Next, you should find out the bank details for paying the state duty on weapons and provide the inspector with a package of documents, which includes:
- Application (in the form of a card) for a weapons license;
- Copies of several pages of the passport (includes 2 and 3 page spreads plus a copy of the page indicating the place of residence) and the original passport for verification;
- Three 3x4 photographs;
- A medical certificate, which should indicate whether you have any contraindications to owning a weapon;
- Receipt of payment of the duty;
- Photocopy of the hunting license.
After the month has expired, your license will be ready. With it you can go to a hunting store and buy weapons. The purchased weapon is presented to the authorities that issued the license, and the license itself is surrendered. After 10 days have expired, you need to appear again at the authorities, where you will be given a special card that allows you to store and carry weapons. If, after purchasing a weapon, you do not hand over your license within 14 days and do not receive storage cards, you will be subject to administrative charges.

How to get a weapons license
Since the number of crimes using civilian weapons has increased in recent years, internal affairs authorities have insisted on tightening the rules for issuing weapons licenses.
The list of weapons available for purchase by civilians is quite wide:
- Weapons for self-defense;
- Weapons for sport shooting;
- Signal weapons (so-called “starter” or noise pistols);
- Hunting firearms and bladed weapons;
- Bladed weapons.
Not all applicants are issued licenses for civilian weapons. The main conditions are a minimum age of 18 years and the absence of medical contraindications - mental disorders, drug addiction, substance abuse and serious visual impairment.
After the law on weapons was tightened, new clauses were added to these requirements:
- Having an outstanding conviction for an intentional crime will not allow you to get a license, just like serving a sentence;
- Committed administrative violation for hooliganism (if less than a year has passed);
- If you do not have a permanent place of residence, you will not be given a license either;
- If you have been convicted of distributing drugs or similar substances, then you can forget about a weapons license.
Passing the weapons test: what you need to know
In order to pass the weapons exam, you need to know the following things:
- Before taking the exam, you must read the Law on Weapons. Particular attention should be paid to articles 17, 22 and 24;
- It will be useful to learn five articles of the criminal code, namely articles 37, 38, 39, 222 and 224;
- In the administrative code, special attention should be paid to articles 20.8, 20.11, 20.12, 20.13.
Although the owner of a civilian hunting weapon is not required to provide first aid, still study the procedure for providing it, because such questions may be asked during the exam.
It would be a good idea to practice on sites where you can take a virtual weapons exam. In addition, on similar sites (and there are many of them on the Internet) there are detailed answers to exam papers. Although the type of test and exam on the site and in the institution where you will take it may differ, it will still be easier for you to pass the official exam.
Before the exam, you will need to take special training courses, where they will tell and show you everything, although independent work will also help you consolidate the material and make you feel more confident when passing the exam.
Medical examination
Order No. 441n establishes the obligation to undergo a medical examination for those citizens who intend to purchase and store weapons. As part of the medical examination, citizens undergo specialists:
- Therapist.
- Ophthalmologist.
- Psychiatrist.
- Narcologist.
They also undergo chemical and toxicological testing (urine and blood tests).
Based on the results of passing the commission, a certificate is issued in form No. 002-O/u and a conclusion in form No. 003-O/u. Passing the commission and receiving a certificate takes place in a medical institution (public or private) that has a license for this type of activity. Clause 26 of Appendix 1 of Order No. 441n establishes the validity period of a medical certificate as 1 year.
Specialized schools
Moscow training centers offer those who wish to take a full course in weapons proficiency. It includes a program for preparing and studying standards for safe handling and obtaining qualifications (skills) for safe handling. As Stanislaw Lem said: “Everything that can be used as a weapon will be used as a weapon.” Every man (sometimes woman) needs to handle a tool like this.
The duration of the training procedure is one day. There are face-to-face forms during the day and evening (everyone can choose a convenient time for themselves). The academic subjects studied in the course and the duration of study are established in the curriculum. For example, in the discipline “Fire training” practice is worked out.
Main objectives of the training:
- consideration of federal norms and acts according to which laws are adopted on the purchase, storage, and possession of weapons;
- development of skill in shaping legal consequences;
- comprehensive training before passing the final exam.
After the educational program at school, students take tests on their knowledge of regulations and rules. This tests the level of skill and understanding of handling firearms. The final exam includes theory and practice: a 10-question test and three exercises.
