The storage of weapons and ammunition by citizens of the Russian Federation in places of temporary stay must be carried out in compliance with conditions that exclude access to weapons by unauthorized persons.

Article 22. Storage of civilian and service weapons and ammunition for them, states that storage of civilian and service weapons and ammunition for them is permitted legal entities and citizens who have received permission from the internal affairs bodies to store or store and carry weapons.

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

Storage requirements various types civilian and service weapons and ammunition for them are determined by the Government of the Russian Federation. (see Storage of weapons and ammunition PP N814 07/21/98)

Art.54. Storage of weapons and ammunition is permitted to legal entities and individuals who have received permission from the internal affairs bodies to store or store and carry weapons.

Art.59. Weapons and ammunition belonging to citizens of the Russian Federation must be stored at their place of residence in compliance with conditions that ensure their safety, security of storage and exclude access to them by unauthorized persons, in locked boxes made of high-strength materials or in wooden boxes lined with iron. Internal affairs bodies at the place of residence of the owners have the right to check the storage conditions of weapons registered by them.

The weapon is registered at the place of permanent registration of the owner. And it must be stored at the place of residence of the owner.

Accordingly, if the owner does not live at the place of registration, a contradiction arises. Hence, you have to live with the weapon, where it is registered.

This statement also complies with the requirements of the passport regime and the Constitution of the Russian Federation. When changing residence, a citizen of the Russian Federation is required to register within no more than 7 days from the date of arrival at the new place of residence.

Previously, without any problems, we received two certificates, one for registration and one for registration, but now you need to go to the passport office and make a temporary registration for 5 years at the place of stay (residence) and storage of weapons.

A permanent registration remains in the passport, but a “piece of paper” is issued for a temporary one. With it we get the necessary certificate at the local police officer. And then all this must be submitted to the licensing and permitting department (LRO). Now permission is not given without temporary registration.

Remember that if you stay more than 90 days in one place without registration, you will be fined, and this is already a problem for obtaining a weapons permit. A citizen is required to register at his place of residence (Article 6 of the Federal Law on freedom of movement and choice of place of residence). Article 19.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses provides for the imposition administrative fine in the amount of three thousand to five thousand rubles.

Article 19.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses provides for administrative liability for violation of the norms of the Law of the Russian Federation of June 25, 1993 No. 5242-1 “On the right of citizens of the Russian Federation to freedom of movement, choice of place of stay and residence within the Russian Federation” (as amended and supplemented), as well as norms , established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of March 13, 1997 No. 232 “On the main document identifying the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation”, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 8, 1997 No. 828 “On approval of the Regulations on the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, a sample form and description of a citizen’s passport Russian Federation" (with amendments and additions), Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 17, 1995 No. 713 "On approval of the Rules for registration and deregistration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of stay and at the place of residence within the Russian Federation and the List of officials responsible for registration."

The passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation is the main document identifying the citizen of the Russian Federation on the territory of the Russian Federation. In accordance with the Regulations approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 8, 1997 N 828, all citizens of the Russian Federation who have reached the age of 14 and living on the territory of the Russian Federation are required to have a passport (see: Administrative Regulations of the Federal migration service by providing public services on the issuance, replacement and execution of the state function of registering passports of citizens of the Russian Federation, identifying citizens on the territory of the Russian Federation (regulations of March 5, 2010). The above-mentioned Law of the Russian Federation (Article 3) establishes that in order to ensure necessary conditions In order for a citizen of the Russian Federation to exercise his rights and freedoms, as well as to fulfill his duties to other citizens, the state and society, registration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of stay and place of residence is introduced.

The content of the concepts “place of stay” and “place of residence” is defined in the Law of the Russian Federation of June 25, 1993 No. 5242-1. It is with these concepts that the legislator’s establishment of liability for living or staying without a citizen’s identity document (passport) seems to be associated. The combination in the disposition of Part 1 of this article of the provisions on the absence of an identity document and registration at the place of stay or place of residence instructs the official who makes the decision to initiate a case on this offense to establish, in the event that a citizen of the Russian Federation does not have a citizen’s identity card (passport), ) his registration at the place of stay or residence. It should be taken into account that registration documents in accordance with Art. 6 of this Law must be submitted to the registration authorities no later than 7 days from the day the citizen arrives at his new place of residence. As for the three-day period for registration at the place of stay established by the mentioned Law, then according to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 22, 2004 N 825, the specified registration period begins after the expiration of the 90-day period of stay of a citizen of the Russian Federation, during which such registration is not required. You should also keep in mind the notification nature of registration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of residence (see: Resolution of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of February 2, 1998 No. 4-P // SZ RF 1998 No. 6 Art. 783), which, however, does not negate the obligation itself registration. In accordance with clause 9 of the Rules for registration and deregistration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of stay and place of residence within the Russian Federation, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 17, 1995 N 713 (as amended and supplemented as of November 11, 2010 ), citizens have the right to notify the registration authority about the duration and place of their stay by mail or electronically using public information and telecommunication networks. Registration authorities, within 3 days from the date of receipt of documents, the list of which is determined by these Rules, register citizens at the place of stay in residential premises that are not their place of residence, and issue them an appropriate certificate. At the request of the citizen, this document can be sent by mail. The owner (tenant) is sent a notification of registration of the person who submitted the application within 3 days. The procedure for registering citizens at their place of residence is determined by paragraph. clauses 16 - 18 of the Rules. Now it is also possible to submit an application in the established form for registration at the place of residence and copies necessary documents in electronic form through a single portal. Registration bodies in cities, towns, rural populated areas, closed military camps, as well as in settlements located in the border zone, or closed administrative-territorial entities in which there are territorial bodies of the federal body executive power authorized to carry out functions of control and supervision in the field of migration are these bodies, in other settlements - bodies local government. It should be taken into account that control over compliance by citizens of the Russian Federation and officials with the rules of registration and deregistration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of stay and at the place of residence within the Russian Federation is assigned to federal body executive power, authorized to carry out functions of control and supervision in the field of migration, its territorial bodies and internal affairs bodies. Administrative liability for this offense occurs when a citizen resides or stays on an invalid citizen’s identity card (passport) in the event of making marks on it that are not provided for by the Regulations “On the Passport of a Citizen of the Russian Federation”, or when the passport expires after 30 days from the date the citizen reaches 25 years old or 45 years old. The objective side under Part 2 of this article is characterized by the admission by the person responsible for compliance with the registration rules, or by a citizen, in the premises occupied by him or in the premises owned by him by right of ownership of citizens of the Russian Federation, violating the established normative rules. legal acts order.

Here is an example from practice:

In 2008, one enterprising comrade, a weapons collector, filed a lawsuit with Supreme Court RF, demanding that clause 162 of the Instructions be declared invalid, because its provisions contradict clause 59 of the Rules for the circulation of civilian and service weapons and ammunition for them on the territory of the Russian Federation. In addition, the collector demanded the abolition of “additional requirements for the storage of collectible weapons, believing that “very complex technical specifications storage of weapons." He emphasized that the wording of the instructions “place of stay” can also be applied to hotels, where the owner of the weapon will not be able to comply with the storage conditions that apply to places of stay, and this can, in turn, become a reason for the cancellation of the weapons permit. Consequently, this paragraph of the instructions violates the rights of citizens to use weapons. The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation partially satisfied the collector’s claim, decided to exclude the phrase “and in places of stay” from the instructions, and also excluded “special” requirements for storing weapons for weapons collectors. Since the Civil Procedure Code prohibits issuing regulations In place of those canceled by the courts, no new changes should be made to the Instructions. This is where a new legal conflict arose. On the one hand, this decision is fair in relation to, for example, hunters who do not need to take a gun safe along with their tent. On the other hand, it turns out that those who store weapons where they are permanently registered must comply special requirements: acquire safes, metal cabinets and high-strength boxes and host a local police officer with checks. And those who live, for example, in a rented apartment, and not at their place of registration, are now spared from these ceremonies. The Ministry of Internal Affairs drew the attention of this conflict and, despite the fact that the Supreme Court decided to exclude the phrase “and in places of stay” from the instructions, new edition item 162, it is present.

item 162. Citizens of the Russian Federation must store their weapons and ammunition at their place of residence (at their place of stay) in locked safes or metal cabinets, boxes made of high-strength materials or in wooden boxes lined with iron in compliance with conditions that ensure the safety of weapons and ammunition and their safety storage and preventing access to them by unauthorized persons. (Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 504 of June 7, 2008).

Summarizing all of the above, we can draw the following conclusions:

According to the Law, the owner of a weapon must (has the right):

1. Store their weapons and ammunition at their place of residence in locked safes or metal cabinets (applies to any civilian weapon, including gas and traumatic weapons).
2. It is not necessary to have locked safes or metal cabinets at the place of stay, not only for citizens who are hunting, but also for citizens living in a rented apartment.
3. Weapons can also be stored in boxes made of high-strength materials or in wooden boxes lined with iron.
4. Nail (screw) a safe, metal cabinet, etc. not required not only for collectors, but for ALL owners of civilian weapons.
5. The requirement of Article 165 of the Instructions regarding the separate storage of weapons and ammunition apply ONLY to legal entities (private security companies, stores), and not individuals.
6. Safes, metal cabinets, etc. can be locked with ANY locks (internal, padlocks), their number is not specified, and the degree of their secrecy is also not regulated.
7. The thickness of a safe or metal cabinet, regulated by Article 166 of the Instructions, applies to legal entities, therefore, it does not matter for individuals.
8. No one has the right to require the owner of a weapon to install a metal front door with additional locks and a box, as well as equip the room where the weapons are stored with a security and fire alarm.

You can follow the Legal requirements, prove that you are right, and thereby either delay obtaining a weapons license for an indefinite period of time, or make an enemy in the person of the inspector (precinct inspector). Understand that the local police officer, like you yourself, is interested in keeping your weapon and his recommendations may not be so burdensome. Listen to his advice, they may help you.

The rules for purchasing and storing hunting rifles and other weapons at the place of residence when changing the address, as well as not at registration, are regulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation. Since the regulation of these norms is also placed under the jurisdiction of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and each region can establish its own requirements that do not contradict the laws federal level, owners often have questions about how to properly organize the storage of weapons and their transportation to the hunting site. Licensing authority employees also have the right to put forward special conditions due to the fact that legislative framework regulating this issue contains enough gaps.

Today, every adult, capable citizen has the right to purchase a hunting rifle. However, this requires passing a medical examination, training and obtaining permission to purchase and possess firearms from the licensing department, which is often called a license.

Transporting a gun is also permitted, but subject to certain requirements. Once the weapon is unloaded and sheathed, you can carry it with you even in public places. The main requirement for storing a hunting rifle at your place of residence is the presence of a safe, which can even be made independently. However, first of all, it is necessary to obtain permission to purchase and store weapons, and also to inform local authorities about this fact.

Before purchasing, storing and using a hunting rifle for its intended purpose, you must obtain a license and permit. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory, since there are penalties for illegal acquisition and storage of weapons. To obtain a license, you need to decide on the brand of the gun and contact the licensing and permitting department, where you write an application (a sample will be provided by the government agency) and submit a package of collected documents.

To obtain a license you will need:

• Passport. Original and copy.
• Conclusion of the commission on the results of the training.
• Certificate of passing a medical examination.
• Hunting license.
• Photo. Size 3x4.
• Receipt confirming payment of the one-time fee.

The application is reviewed within ten days. As a result, the LRO makes a decision to issue a license. Upon completion of consideration of the application, the LRO makes a decision. A storage permit can be refused for the following reasons:

• The person submitting the application is a minor.
• The citizen has contraindications for medical reasons.
• Incomplete documentation package or submission of false information.
• The person has repeatedly violated public order, which was recorded in protocols on administrative violations.
• Conditions proper storage weapons and ammunition are not respected.
• The citizen did not appear for a license within two weeks of receiving the written notification.
• The person has a criminal record for a crime committed intentionally.
• A citizen is serving a sentence for a crime.

If these reasons are not present, the applicant will be issued a license. After receiving the document, the citizen can purchase a weapon.

Next, you need to obtain permission to store and carry a gun. The license is part of the package of documents for obtaining permits and has a limited validity period. It is issued for six months and only for one weapon, so if you purchase several guns, you must obtain a license for each. If a citizen does not have time to obtain a permit during the validity period of the document, the next license can be issued to him only after a year.

After receiving a license, you should purchase or build your own safe for storing guns and ammunition, which will be checked by the local police officer to obtain permits. Next you need to do the following:

• Apply for a firearms storage permit. This must be done within two weeks from the date of purchase of the gun. Without obtaining permits, the operation of weapons is illegal.
• The received license must be attached to the application.
• Agree with the district police officer on a date when he can check the storage conditions of the gun. Upon completion of the inspection, the employee will draw up a document that is attached to the package of papers for issuing a permit.
• A written notification will be sent by mail after 10 days indicating that the application has been reviewed.

The basic documentation is submitted by the citizen when obtaining a license, so when obtaining a permit you will only need a general passport and 3x4 photographs. You also do not need to undergo a medical examination again.

A permit for this type of weapon is issued no earlier than after five years of smooth-bore operation. To obtain it you will need permits for smoothbore weapon and a citizen's hunting license. The procedure for obtaining paper is similar to submitting an application for permission to store a shotgun. Documentation is completed within the same time frame.

A weapon storage permit is an urgent document. It must be renewed every five years. It is necessary to take care of this problem in advance by contacting the LRO three months before the end of the document’s validity period. An application in the prescribed form is required. In this case, it is necessary to undergo a medical examination again. There is no need to retrain how to use a weapon. The extension procedure is carried out, as a rule, within a period of about one month, during which employees of the permitting department will check whether the applicant has committed various offenses. If a person has two or more recorded violations of administrative legislation, the permit extension is denied.

Conditions for storing a hunting rifle at your place of residence

The storage of firearms may only be carried out by persons who have received permits. At the same time, it is the owner of the gun who must use and ensure proper conditions. It is prohibited to transfer weapons to third parties. If a citizen finds a gun or receives it from someone, he is obliged to hand it over to law enforcement agencies. Otherwise, the person may be brought to administrative or criminal liability.

A person who owns a hunting rifle is obliged to ensure established by law conditions for its storage. A citizen is obliged to organize the situation in such a way as to guarantee the safety of weapons and ammunition, safety for others and to exclude the possibility of use by others. The gun must be stored:

• In the safe.
• In a metal cabinet.
• In a box made of high-strength material.
• In a box made of wood, covered with metal.

Whatever device the weapon is stored in, it must be locked. The difference between a safe and a gun locker is mainly the price and level of security. In this case, a device for ensuring the safety and security of the gun can be made independently.

If a citizen owns a collection of guns, they must be stored in a specially equipped room. An alarm system and a metal door with additional locking devices and a frame are installed in the weapons room. If the room is located on the first or last floor of the building, metal grilles must be installed in the window openings. If it is not possible to install a security system, metal cabinets, safes or boxes are installed in the room, which are attached to the wall with bolts with a diameter of at least 16 millimeters. There must be two or more such fastenings.

Conditions for storing a hunting rifle at your place of stay

Regardless of whether the weapon is located at the place of permanent residence or temporary stay, conditions must be provided to guarantee its safety and safety for others. Storage of a hunting rifle other than at the place of permanent registration must be carried out in such a way that access to it by third parties is limited. If the owner of a weapon goes hunting, fishing or to any other place of stay, he does not have to transport the safe, which is intended to ensure safety. In this case, the owner of the gun is obliged to monitor the gun, prevent third parties from accessing it, and ensure the safety of others.

If the owner of a firearm does not live at the place of permanent registration, it is required to obtain temporary registration, ensure safe storage conditions with a safe or metal box, and call a local police officer to check the conditions for compliance with the law. Next, the owner of the gun must submit a report from the district police officer and fill out an application for a new permit to store the gun at the LRO at the place of actual residence. It is worth noting that the weapon must be located where its owner resides, regardless of whether he is registered at this address or lives under temporary registration. However, whenever you change your place of residence, you must notify local law enforcement agencies and the licensing department. You can carry a gun on the basis of a permit to store and carry. In this case, the owner is required to carry identification documents and permits with him.

The owner of the gun and ammunition must obtain permission from the LRO to transport them at the place of registration. If a hunter intends to transport more than five weapons and more than 400 pieces of ammunition, he must submit an application and information about the guns to the local police department, it is also required to indicate the transport that will be used for movement, indicate the intended route of movement, and the persons who will ensure security for others.

The initial check of the conditions for storing a hunting rifle is carried out by the local police officer when the citizen receives permission. Next employees law enforcement organize such events at least once a year. The check is carried out at the place where the gun is stored, information about which is provided by the owner when receiving permits. The inspection procedure should take no more than a quarter of an hour per weapon. The grounds for conducting an audit may be:

• The verification period has arrived.
• Application from a citizen for the issuance of permits.
• Application by a person to extend or re-register previously received documents.
• The end of the period for eliminating non-compliance with the rules, if the person was previously issued an order to do so.
• Complaints from persons or institutions regarding the commission of offenses by the owner of the gun.
• An order from the relevant authority to carry out special measures to verify citizens’ compliance with the rules for the circulation of weapons.

The employee arriving to conduct the inspection must introduce himself, state the purpose of the visit and present his official identification before starting the inspection. Also, the official must have an order in in writing about the event. During the inspection, the following circumstances are established:

• Correspondence of the owner's weapon data to the actual quantity and characteristics.
• Compliance by the owner with the rules for handling guns and ammunition.
• The presence of a mandatory device for storing weapons.
• The owner's compliance with restrictions on third party access to the gun.

At the end of the procedure executive draws up an act and gives a copy of it to the owner. If violations were identified during the inspection, they are indicated in the document and must be corrected by the owner of the gun within 30 days from the date of receipt of the certificate.

If the owner of the weapon is absent from his place of residence, other persons in the apartment or house should not open the safe in which the weapon is stored, even at the request of a law enforcement officer. Otherwise, this will be a violation of the restriction of third party access to weapons in the place of actual residence.

According to the rules for storing weapons at home, citizens who have the appropriate license to do so can store weapons in the house.

In addition to weapons that require a storage permit, there are also those that are sold without a license and do not require a storage permit.

What weapons can be stored without a permit?

Without registration and license you can buy and store at home the following types weapons

• revolvers with a caliber of less than 6 mm, as well as cartridges for them;
• pneumatic weapons (rifles, revolvers, pistols), the muzzle energy of which does not exceed 3 J;
• pistols intended for signaling.
• products that are structurally similar to weapons

Let us remind you that it is prohibited to store weapons found or transferred by others. Weapons received from other citizens and found must be handed over to the police department.

Hunting and traumatic weapons, storage conditions

Any weapon, the purchase of which requires permission from a special police department, must be stored in a place where the safety of storage is fully ensured.

This can be done in a safe, in a wooden box upholstered in metal with a lock, or in a metal cabinet.

When choosing a place for a safe, you should take into account that it should be located where strangers cannot have access to it. It should also be taken into account that the weapon must be stored at the place of registration or residence of the owner. The cartridges must be sorted according to their purpose and stored in boxes.

Storage of collectible weapons

Citizens who collect weapons must store them in a separate room equipped with fire and security alarms.

If installing an alarm is impossible for some reason, then the weapons are stored in weapons cabinets, which are attached to the wall using M 16 bolts.

This allows you to give stability to a heavy cabinet. Moreover, when the door is opened, tall metal cabinets become even more unstable, so wall mounting is already a necessity.

A strong door should be installed at the entrance to the weapons room, and reliable metal bars should be installed on the windows.

Design and characteristics of the safe

Ammunition and weapons must be stored at the owner’s place of residence. Weapons cannot be stored in open safes where unauthorized persons can have uncontrolled access.

Manufacturers often offer built-in safes that are completely hidden in the wall, and the door is disguised, for example, by a picture. These safes are great for storing hunting weapons in cottages or some apartments.

In addition, you can hide the gun box in a closet with clothes or a chest of drawers

Metal storage facilities come with different systems locks:

• safes with combination mechanical locks;
• electronic locks that respond to the owner’s fingerprint;
• mechanical locks for opening with a key;
• mixed option, when several types of locks are installed.

According to the characteristics, a high-quality safe should be fire-resistant, spacious and durable. The thickness of the safe walls is at least 2 mm.

When choosing a gun box, you need to pay attention to the manufacturer. China is considered the most unreliable manufacturer. Their safes are easy to break into and the locks quickly fail.

Features of placing safes indoors

Install gun cabinet It is necessary to keep it as far as possible from windows and doors, as well as from heating appliances.

1. At a distance of at least 0.5 m from windows
2. At a distance of no less than 1.5 m from the front door
3. At a distance of at least 1 m from heating devices

In addition, we must remember that the safe in no way interferes with the free opening of the entrance doors.

The safe should have a separate shelf for ammunition. If we are talking about a hunting rifle, then the owner is obliged to securely secure it in the gun box using the provided fastening elements

Who controls storage conditions?

Authorized police officers monitor the conditions in which weapons are stored. They can check whether it is accessible to other citizens.

Even family members should not know the combination to the safe's lock, or where the key to it is located. For example, they may show up for an inspection when the owner is not at home and ask to show the weapon to check the numbers.

This is how they provoke relatives to violate the norms of inaccessibility of weapons.
All rules for storing weapons in the house must be impeccably followed by its owner.

Hello, dear gun lovers! Today's article and video will be devoted to the rules for storing hunting weapons and ammunition in 2015. Let's talk about how to properly store your weapon in what and where, as well as what punishment will follow for improper storage of weapons. It's actually quite simple. The rules are clear and easy to follow. No quirks or hidden meanings or anything like that.

So, let's begin. As the gun law tells us:

The storage of civilian and service weapons and ammunition for them is permitted to legal entities and citizens who have received permission from the internal affairs bodies to store or store and carry weapons. The storage of civilian weapons, which are purchased without a license and whose registration with the internal affairs bodies is not required, is carried out without a permit for the storage of weapons.

There are requirements for the storage conditions of weapons determined by the government of the Russian Federation:

Weapons and ammunition belonging to citizens of the Russian Federation must be stored at their place of residence in compliance with conditions that ensure their safety, security of storage and exclude access to them by unauthorized persons, in locked safes, safe cabinets or metal cabinets for storing weapons, boxes made of high-strength materials or in wooden boxes lined with iron. Internal affairs bodies at the place of residence of the owners have the right to check the storage conditions of weapons registered by them. The storage of weapons and ammunition by citizens of the Russian Federation in places of temporary stay must be carried out in compliance with conditions that exclude access to weapons by unauthorized persons

Let's figure out what it all means.

• Weapons are stored at the place of residence (the place of permanent or primary residence of the citizen as the direct owner, or close relative owner, or under a social or commercial lease agreement). No registration required.
• You do not need to take a safe with you to a place of temporary stay (tourist camp, lodge, holiday home, hotel, sanatorium, etc.). It is necessary to ensure that access by other people is not possible.
• Lockable iron boxes or homemade ones can serve as a safe. wooden boxes covered with iron. No need to buy special gun safe in the shop.
• The number of locks is not limited.
• There is no need to screw the safe to the wall.
• The most important thing is to prevent anyone other than you from having access to your weapons and ammunition.

Well, now about the responsibility that a violator of the norms specified by the government will bear. Regulated by Article 224 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Careless storage of a firearm, which created conditions for its use by another person, if this resulted in the death of a person or other grave consequences, -shall be punishable by a fine in the amount of up to one hundred thousand rubles or in the amount wages or other income of the convicted person for a period of up to six months, or compulsory work for a term of up to three hundred and sixty hours, or correctional labor for a term of up to one year, or restriction of freedom for a term of up to one year, or arrest for a term of up to six months.

2. The same act, resulting in the death of two or more persons, -shall be punishable by compulsory labor for a term of up to four hundred eighty hours, or correctional labor for a term of up to two years, or imprisonment for a term of up to two years.

Well, my personal opinion is this: the designated rules for storing hunting weapons and ammunition in 2015 are not so difficult to implement as to violate them. In the end, the safety of you and your loved ones depends on their implementation. Keep your family away from the safe, its keys, and its contents as much as possible. The police may come in your absence and ask your spouse or children to open the safe for inspection. Under no circumstances should this be allowed to happen. The weapon will be confiscated and you will be fined. No one should know anything, for their own safety.

Well, that's all for today. Watch the video, leave your comments, share your opinions! See you later!
