Recently, it has become more and more noticeable that our “valiant” police, in order to “show” their “successes” in the fight against banditry (armed, by the way, not with hunting rifles) and illegal arms trafficking, insolently began to recoup ordinary hunters.

I have been fond of hunting for almost three decades. I have in stock both smooth-bore and rifled hunting weapons. Before buying my first gun, I bought a metal box for storing weapons in the store.

A miniature box made of "flimsy" iron satisfied both me and the district inspector for several years. After a number of years, I acquired a second gun, then a rifled carbine. There was a need to replace the metal box.

At the factory, a completely different box was made of metal 2.5 mm thick, according to my order, which seemed to meet all the requirements - in height, width, - divided into two compartments by a partition (one compartment stores weapons, in another, cartridges for weapons, accessories for cleaning weapons, etc.).

Since the drawer was made with one internal lock, I installed an additional second padlock on it myself. As they say, out of harm's way. But this sin turned out to be much closer than I thought.

In accordance with the Law on Weapons, every five years I renew the permit for the right to keep and carry weapons. Each time, the district inspector writes an act of inspection of the place of storage of weapons and makes a note in it that there are no contraindications to the storage of weapons.

Everything seems to be good, you say, but it was not so. Recently, it has become more and more noticeable that our “valiant” police, in order to “show” their “successes” in the fight against banditry (armed, by the way, not with hunting rifles) and illegal arms trafficking, insolently began to recoup ordinary hunters. Once a month, if not more often, weapons storage checks were carried out. I agree with this: if it is necessary and required by the law. But is it necessary? All real hunters are basically law-abiding people and understand where their gun should fire.

I will open the door right away: I think that random people who have no idea about hunting and hunting weapons get into the permissive system. They know one thing for sure: I AM AUTHORIZED BY THE POWER and I can turn what I want.
I will give a few examples from my, so to speak, life.

I return home from the winter hunting and, as it should be, according to the instructions for the care of the gun, I give it to warm up, so that it can be cleaned and put in the safe later. 15 minutes after my return from the hunt, the inspectors come ...
I'm trying to prove that I'm not a horse.

The next time, when checking the storage conditions, the inspector of the permitting system began to check whether the box for storing weapons was nailed to the floor. Prove again that the box weighs about 300 kg and cannot be lifted by three of us. I didn’t argue - I nailed it.
In the last visit, the inspector of the permitting system simply stunned: "Where do you store the cartridges?"
I show that I store ammunition for weapons in packs, on shelves, in a separate compartment. Again, I had to prove that the cartridges were stored separately from the weapon. And this "separately" again does not suit him. So what do I have another safe to do for storing ammo? I served at one time in the ranks of the Soviet army and I know what it means to store and carry ammunition separately from weapons. But again, prove it.

Dear editors! For the second year I have been a regular reader of "ROG". I earnestly ask: print on the pages of the newspaper in a simple, understandable language, the rules for storing hunting weapons and cartridges for them. Trust my word, many hunters will thank you very much. The "Law on Weapons" does not fully disclose this problem, and the instructions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which bureaucrats in uniform are so fond of referring to, to me, and to other hunters, were not brought to the attention of me. It's time to end the lawlessness in relation to a simple hunter.

From the editor. Currently, in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation ("Law on Weapons", the Rules for the circulation of civilian and service weapons and cartridges for them on the territory of the Russian Federation), weapons must be stored in compliance with conditions that ensure their safety, safe storage and exclude access to them by unauthorized persons , in lockable safes or metal cabinets, boxes made of high-strength materials or in wooden boxes lined with iron. As you can see, the law does not speak of either screwing to the floor or the thickness of the walls of the box.

There is also no mention of storing ammunition with weapons separately or together.
The demands of the police officers stated in your letter are illegal. If you are forced to install alarms, iron doors or gratings, as well as put forward other requirements that are not in the law, ask them to present the normative documents that regulate this. If you are denied an extension of your weapons permit based on non-existent requirements, contact your ATC management. If this does not help, ask for a written refusal to issue permission, with which you contact the prosecutor's office. After that, all abuse in your address will stop.

Every hunter must know and follow the rules for storing hunting weapons and ammunition. This is not just the letter of the law, such laws are written in the blood of those who have suffered due to the careless attitude to safety rules by some hunters. Only its owner should have access to weapons, it is unacceptable to store weapons in places easily accessible to children, moreover, with such storage, they can become easy prey for intruders.

Russian Federation Weapons Law: Article 22

The hunter must store weapons, cartridges and other ammunition at his place of residence, in compliance with the rules established by law, ensuring their proper safety and security, access by unauthorized persons must be completely excluded. For these purposes, it is advisable to use a reliable lockable metal cabinet or safe; in extreme cases, a wooden box lined with iron is suitable. Owners of rifled weapons must equip storage areas with technical means of security alarms.

Law on Weapons of the Republic of Belarus: Article 24

At home, weapons should be stored disassembled, ammunition is stored separately from guns in safes and metal cabinets with secure locks. The loaded cartridges, cans of gunpowder and the capsule are stored away from batteries, stoves and other heating devices. Different types of gunpowder are placed separately: smokeless separately from smoky. It is advisable not to store gunpowder in the same place with other ammunition, although this is not prohibited by law.

Choosing a reliable weapon safe (cabinet)

When choosing a weapon safe for installation in a house, it is necessary to take into account a number of different parameters: rifled or smooth-bore weapons will be stored in the safe (cabinet), the volume of the arsenal, the intended mounting to the wall or floor, whether ammunition will be stored in it, and other important aspects.

Even the simplest metal box with a lock excludes easy access to weapons by children and unauthorized persons. Keeping a weapon in a safe allows the hunter to feel calm about his arsenal and the health of his loved ones; no one can use it without your knowledge. Owners of rifled weapons should especially worry about the safety of their arsenal, as this is a very tasty prey for intruders and a simple metal box will not stop them.

In this case, it is necessary to use a reliable metal safe from a trusted manufacturer; additionally, it is attached to the wall and floor (if possible). Such products, although they have a rather large mass, can be taken out of the house along with weapons, and subsequently opened with the help of fortune and an autogen. In addition, large metal cabinets and safes can be dangerous in themselves, can you dodge a falling safe in time, and your children? If there are children in the house, it is imperative to fix cabinets and safes! A securely secured safe will not pose a threat to your family, and in most cases intruders will not cope with it and will not take it with them after an illegal visit.

The legal requirement for such products is rather mild, but despite this, in your interests and the interests of the safety of your loved ones, you should not save money and install a tin box with a mail lock at home. Keeping weapons in a safe safe is advisable, and manufacturers offer a number of products with a fairly solid "armor" and with a bolt locking system.

Arrangement of safes for storing hunting rifles

At the moment, the choice of gun safes is very large, they differ structurally and in size, they can have: a different number of shelves and vertical partitions, several compartments with separate locks, lockable secret lodgments of the most diverse design. The inner surface of a thick safe door is also used in many designs; hooks and various pockets can be installed on it. Depending on the class of the product, the inner surface can be finished with various materials: velvet, carpet, leather, etc.

It is also customary to finish the outer surface of safes with various materials that enhance the aesthetic qualities of these products. Often, precious woods or veneers are used for decoration, and additionally decorated with carvings for hunting motives.

Typical groups of weapon safes and metal cabinets

- the simplest products. They are made of 1.5 mm steel, can have handles for carrying. Burglary resistance is extremely low, as well as fire resistance. Locks on such metal cabinets are key with a rotary flat crossbar, popularly such locks are called "postal" locks. In some models, combination locks are installed, which does not give them increased burglary resistance, but allows owners not to carry keys with them.

Increased strength. The reliability of these cabinets is slightly higher, they are equipped with the best quality locks, but this will not save them from intruders.

They are made of solid 3 mm steel, the door thickness can be 5-6 mm. In most high-quality models of this group, an additional vertical transom system is installed, which significantly increases burglary resistance. Locks are used key lever type, often reliable imported models are installed. There are a number of designs with electronic locks, sometimes there are models with combination mechanisms.

- quite rare expensive models with high fire resistance and reliable locking systems.

A hunting weapon left unattended can cause tragedy for your loved ones, or lead to theft and subsequent crimes from its use. Do not neglect the rules of the Law on the storage of weapons, cartridges and other ammunition, in the end it can save you from many troubles.

Weapons are a subject of increased danger, a commodity, the circulation of which in the country is strictly limited.

Improper use of a weapon or violation of the rules for its storage can lead to serious consequences. Not only do such actions lead to criminal and administrative responsibility, innocent people, including children, can suffer from weapons.

For whatever purpose a person does not own a weapon: for hunting, personal self-defense or on duty, he obliged to observe the rules for storing hunting weapons and ammunition.

You can use weapons in the country only if you have a special permit for storing and carrying hunting weapons. Such documents are issued by the Center for Licensing and Permitting Work of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

You can't just get a license for a weapon. To do this, you will need to collect a package of certain documents and undergo training.

A license cannot be issued to a person who simply does not know how to use a weapon... That is why the training process is carried out, at the end of which those wishing to obtain a license for a weapon pass a special exam.

When the license term for guns and pistols comes to an end, it is required to renew it again with certification and training.

However, there are several types of weapons that can be stored by citizens without obtaining a special license for this. These include:

• Products that are outwardly similar to the design of weapons;
• Air rifles, pistols and shotguns with a muzzle energy not exceeding 3 J;
• Signal pistols;
• Revolvers with caliber up to 6 mm, cartridges for them.

The weapon license is valid for 5 years.

In order for you to be given the cherished weapon, you will have to document your sanity. A positive medical opinion is the main requirement for obtaining a license.

The main legislative act governing the acquisition, use and storage of hunting or other weapons is Federal Law No. 150 "On Weapons". It specifies the types of weapons, restrictions on their circulation and the basic rules for their operation.

According to the law on the storage of weapons by individuals and organizations, hunting weapons are civil, along with self-defense weapons, sports, signal and cold weapons.

In addition, this legal area is regulated by other regulations, in particular:

• Federal Law No. 99 - “On Licensing Certain Types of Activities”;
• Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 814 - “On measures to regulate the circulation of weapons and cartridges for them”;
• Order No. 13 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation "On the rules for storing weapons";
• Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 344 "On medical examination of citizens for the issuance of a weapon license";
• Of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation - responsibility for violation of the rules for the storage and use of weapons.

Current laws prohibit keeping weapons found or transferred by others.

If you find any weapon or receive it without transferring ownership, it is your civil duty to transfer it to any police station.

Weapons and ammunition should be stored at the place of residence of their owner. At the same time, he is obliged to ensure such safe storage conditions that his weapons do not threaten or interfere with any of the unauthorized persons.

Safes are used as shelves for storing weapons. They can be of the following form:

• Lockable metal cabinets;
• Special safes with a secure lock;
• Boxes made of high-strength materials;
• Wooden but iron-lined boxes.

Storage of weapons at the place of real residence, and not registration, is allowed if the conditions for its storage are ensured. No outsiders or neighbors should have access to your weapons safe.

It is imperative to notify the precinct about your temporary move... As a rule, he either comes to check the storage conditions of weapons in a new house, or asks to send him photographs of the safe when the move is made to another city.

According to the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 288, citizens are required to keep the following types of weapons separately:

• Cartridges should be stored in separate packages, depending on their pyrotechnic composition.
• Powder.
• Weapon.
• Precious weapons.

When a citizen owns a whole collection of weapons, he is obliged to ensure that its safety is protected by an alarm.

There are times when, for technical reasons, the installation of a security and fire alarm is impossible in an established room.

In such a situation, the law requires the storage of weapons in a special cabinet, which must be attached to the wall. It is required to use a minimum of 2 screws with a thread of 16 mm or more.

The door of the room, which is the storage for weapons, must have a separate lock. It is advisable to install bars on the windows if it is not possible to carry out an alarm.

Fastening weapon cabinets to walls for high security... It is almost impossible to take such boxes with weapons out of the house due to their weight and reliable fastening.

The main requirement for a quality safe is a reliable lock. The use of safes without locks is considered unacceptable.

There are several types of locks:

• Key - the use of one or more keyholes, the keys to which should not be freely available.
• Mechanical - open after entering a code combination of numbers.
• Electronic - locked with special magnetic keys or fingerprints.
• Combined - use a combination of several types of locks.

The thickness of the walls of the safe must not be less than 2 mm.

The reliability of a gun safe includes two parameters: fire resistance and burglary resistance. The minimum risk of breaking the safe is ensured by the most reliable lock.

To reduce the likelihood of damage to weapons as a result of a fire, you need to select safes made of special fire-resistant materials. Such safes can retain their contents for a long time, even in the face of a serious fire.

Inside the safe there should be special compartments for ammunition and reliable fasteners for fixing weapons.

First of all, the size of the safe should not interfere with the opening of doors and windows, not interfere with the free movement of other family members. Safes cannot be installed in children's rooms.

There are the following requirements for the installation of weapon safes:

• Boxes with cartridges should be at least 1 meter to heating devices (heaters, tiles, pipes);
• The safe should be located at a distance of 1.5 meters from the front door;
• The safe should be located 0.5 meters from the nearest window.

Best to disguise a gun safe... It should be in full view of everyone who visits your apartment. It is very good to hide it inside the closet with clothes or in the bathroom.

You should be attentive to the actions of the police officers who are checking the observance of the rules for storing weapons. Quite often, precinct police officers come for a check without warning at a time when the owner of the weapon is not at home.

Under the pretext of checking the license plates of the weapon, the employees ask a family member at home to open the safe.

According to the rules for storing weapons, none of them should have access to the safe and they also cannot know where the keys to it are.

Unlike citizens, who no longer have any premises other than their own apartment, companies are required to keep weapons in separate premises.

Weapons should also be kept in safes and special cabinets. The weapon must be unloaded with the trigger on the safety catch. The cartridges are located separately from the weapon.

Legal entities are obliged to store weapons with tags attached to them indicating the series, model and name of the weapon.

The weapons that are accepted for safekeeping by citizens must be kept separately from the weapons stored on the balance sheet of the company itself.

Placer cartridges must be kept exclusively in metal boxes under two secure locks.

Even more stringent requirements are imposed on the carrying and transportation of hunting or other weapons and ammunition than for its storage.

The main limitations are presented below:

In order to transport weapons, you must obtain a special permit valid for no more than 1 month.

The following types of weapons can be transported without a permit:

• Not subject to registration;
• Self-defense firearms without the right to carry;
• Hunting and sporting weapons during transportation to the place of hunting or competition;
• Which moves within the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, where it is registered.

Any violation of the storage or carrying of a hunting or other type of weapon is severely punished. Depending on the offense, both administrative and criminal liability can be applied.

Administrative responsibility

The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation has several articles regulating the rules for handling weapons... Let's consider the most commonly used ones:

For carrying a weapon by a drunk person in 2019, a fine of up to 5,000 rubles is provided with confiscation of weapons and ammunition.

In the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, responsibility for the illegal acquisition and storage of weapons is enshrined in Art. 222... According to the article, such actions are a crime and involve the following types of punishment:

• Restriction of freedom up to 3 years;
• Forced labor up to 4 months;
• Arrest for six months;
• Deprivation of liberty for up to 4 years.

Six years in prison can be obtained for committing a crime by prior conspiracy by a group of persons, and 8 years - for an organized crime group.

If the offender voluntarily surrenders an illegally acquired weapon, he may be exempted from criminal liability.

Hunting weapons are a type of civilian weapon and have similar acquisition and storage rules as weapons for self-defense.

The current legislation strictly regulates the rules for the storage of any weapon that poses a danger to society.

Obtaining a license for a weapon, you must understand the full responsibility of such possession, the possible risks and be ready to bear responsibility for violation of the established legal norms.

Weapon safes must have reliable high-tech locks and the required thickness of the metal of the box walls. In addition, the safe must be installed in accordance with the rules that are given in the legislation. After that, it will be possible to invite the district police officer to check the conditions for its storage.

Hunting weapon rules

Illegal possession of weapons

Illegal storage of hunting smooth-bore weapons, as well as weapons of limited destruction will lead to administrative liability. If an illegal rifled hunting weapon is stored, then criminal liability arises for this. The types of administrative punishments are established by the Code of Administrative Offenses of Russia.

Careless storage of weapons

The Criminal Code of Russia, in accordance with Article 224 on the negligent storage of weapons, if conditions were created for them to fall into the wrong hands and led to the death of a person, or other grave consequences, suggests:

3. compulsory work up to 360 hours;

4. restriction of freedom up to 1 year;

Storage of weapons outside the place of registration

Weapons belonging to citizens must be stored in their places of residence in compliance with all the necessary conditions to ensure their safety and security. The storage of hunting weapons outside the place of registration must also be carried out with conditions to exclude access to the weapon of another person. If you went on a business trip, to the forest to hunt, go fishing, or just went to the dacha, taking a hunting rifle, then there is no need to lug it with you, but you should definitely carefully monitor it

If you do not live at the place of registration, then you need to make a temporary registration and with it receive the necessary certificate from the district police officer. After that, you need to go to the licensing and permitting department. It must be remembered that if you stay for more than 90 days without registering in one place, a fine will be imposed, which imposes problems on obtaining a permit. The weapon must be stored in the owner's appropriate place of residence.
