Weapon is an item increased danger, a product whose circulation in the country is strictly limited.

Improper use of weapons or violation of storage rules can lead to serious consequences. Not only do such actions result in criminal and administrative liability, but innocent people, including children, can suffer from weapons.

For whatever purpose a person owns a weapon: for hunting, personal self-defense or on duty, he is obliged to comply with storage rules hunting weapons and ammunition.

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

You can't just get a gun license. 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 a training process is carried out, at the end of which those wishing to obtain a weapons license pass a special exam.

When the license for shotguns and pistols expires, it must be renewed again with certification and training.

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

• Products that are similar in appearance to the design of weapons;
• Air rifles, pistols and shotguns that have a muzzle energy of no more than 3 J;
• Signal pistols;
• Revolvers with a caliber up to 6 mm, cartridges for them.

The validity period of a weapons license is 5 years.

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

The main legislative act regulating 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 classified as civilian weapons, along with self-defense weapons, sporting weapons, signal weapons and bladed weapons.

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

• Federal Law No. 99 – “On licensing individual species activities";
• Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 814 - “On measures to regulate the circulation of weapons and ammunition 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 issuing a weapons license”;
• The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation - liability for violation of the rules for storing and using weapons.

Current laws prohibit the possession of weapons found or transferred by others.

If you find any weapon or receive it without transfer of ownership, it is your civic duty to hand it over to any police station.

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

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

• 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 actual residence, and not registration, is permitted if the conditions for its storage are ensured. No strangers or neighbors should have access to your gun safe.

You must notify your local police officer of your temporary move.. As a rule, he either comes to check the storage conditions of weapons in new house, or asks to send him photographs of the safe when the move is made to another city.

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

• Cartridges must be stored in separate packages depending on their pyrotechnic compositions.
• 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 system.

There are cases when technical reasons installation of a fire and security alarm is not possible in the designated premises.

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

The door of a room that is a weapon storage room must have a separate lock. It is advisable to install bars on the windows if it is not possible to install an alarm.

Fastening gun cabinets to walls ensures their high safety. It is almost impossible to take such boxes of weapons out of the house due to their weight and secure 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 of which should not be in the public domain.
• Mechanical - open after entering a code combination of numbers.
• Electronic – locked using special magnetic keys or fingerprints.
• Combined - use a combination of several types of locks.

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

Reliability gun safe includes two parameters: fire resistance and burglary resistance. The minimum risk of breaking into the safe is ensured by the most secure lock.

To reduce the likelihood of damage to weapons due to fire, you need to select safes made of special fire-resistant materials. Such safes can for a long time retain its contents even in severe fire conditions.

Inside the safe there should be special compartments for ammunition and reliable fastenings for securing weapons.

First of all, the size of the safes should not interfere with the opening of doors and windows, nor interfere with the free movement of other family members. Safes cannot be installed in children's rooms.

There are the following requirements for installing gun safes:

• Boxes with cartridges should be located no closer than 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 at a distance of 0.5 meters from the nearest window.

The best way to disguise a gun safe. It should be in full view of everyone who visits your apartment. It's great to hide it inside a closet or in the bathroom.

You should be attentive to the actions of police officers who check compliance with weapons storage rules. Often, district police officers come to 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 weapons, employees ask one of the family members 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 have no premises other than their own apartment, companies are required to store weapons in separate premises.

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

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

It is imperative that those weapons that are accepted for safekeeping by citizens must be stored separately from weapons stored on the balance sheet of the company itself.

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

The carrying and transportation of hunting or other weapons and ammunition are subject to even more stringent requirements than their storage.

The main restrictions 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;
• Firearms for self-defense without the right to carry;
• Hunting and sporting weapons when transported to a hunting or competition site;
• Which moves within the subject of the Russian Federation where it is registered.

Any violations of storing or carrying hunting or other types of weapons are strictly punished. Depending on the offense, both administrative and criminal liability may be applied.

Administrative responsibility

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

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 for up to 4 months;
• Arrest for six months;
• Imprisonment for up to 4 years.

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

If a criminal voluntarily surrenders illegally acquired weapons, he may be released from criminal liability.

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

Current legislation strictly regulates the rules for storing any weapons that pose a danger to society.

When obtaining a weapons license, it is necessary to understand the full responsibility of such ownership, possible risks and be prepared to bear responsibility for violating established legal norms.

Hello dear readers. Continuing the conversation about hunting weapons, I decided to write about the rules for storing hunting weapons and ammunition.
Storage of hunting weapons, as well as other civilian weapons, which is in personal possession, is regulated by the law “On Weapons”, as well as by government decree and order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. There is also an article of the criminal code “On careless storage firearms».
This attention to the storage of civilian weapons is caused by:

• increased danger;
• possibility of use in criminal activities;
• constant interest in weapons among minors in our society.

The main requirement for storing weapons for personal use is set out in Article 22 of the Law “On Weapons” of 1996 “Storage of civilian and service weapons and ammunition for them”: « Civilian and service weapons must be stored in conditions that ensure their safety, security of storage and prevent access to them by unauthorized persons.”
Briefly, and not any instructions.

More details about storage conditions to prevent the possibility of weapons falling into the hands of unauthorized persons are specified in the Government Decree Russian Federation“On measures to regulate the circulation of civilian and service weapons and ammunition for them on the territory of the Russian Federation” No. 814 of July 21, 1998, Chapter 59: « Weapons and ammunition belonging to citizens of the Russian Federation must be stored at the place of their residence in compliance with conditions that ensure their safety, security of storage and exclude access to them by unauthorized persons, in locked safes or metal cabinets, boxes made of high-strength materials or in wooden boxes, upholstered in 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.”
In this document, there is a requirement, at the place of residence, to store weapons in a lockable safe, cabinet or other specially designed lockable structure.
Methods for storing weapons in places of temporary stay are not given in this document.
Another document regulating the storage of weapons and ammunition for them, including those in personal use, is an appendix to the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 288 dated April 12, 1999, entitled: “Requirements for the placement of weapons, equipment of weapons rooms, storage facilities, warehouses, premises for display, demonstration or trade in weapons, shooting ranges and shooting ranges.”
Clause 162. “Citizens of the Russian Federation must store weapons and ammunition at their place of residence, as well as at places of stay in safes, locked metal cabinets or boxes made of high-strength materials or in wooden boxes lined with iron.”
This document specifies the requirement to store weapons in places of temporary residence as well as in places of permanent residence. How to ensure this? Whether to take the safe with you or rent it is up to the gun owner to decide.
No requirements for individuals:

• store ammunition separately from weapons;
• have two locks on the safe;
• nail the safe to the floor or wall.

These and other requirements probably appeared in local and territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Complete them and save them nerve cells or go to the prosecutor’s office and thereby make enemies for yourself and delay obtaining a license or renewal of a permit, it’s a personal matter.
Taking into account Article No. 224 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, I advise you to comply.
Article No. 224 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on careless storage of firearms:
"1. 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, is punishable:

• a fine in the amount of up to 100,000 rubles or in the amount of the salary or other income of the convicted person for a period of up to 6 months;
• or compulsory work for up to 360 hours;
• or correctional labor for up to 1 year;
• or restriction of freedom for up to 1 year;
• or arrest for up to 6 months.

2. The same act, resulting in the death of two or more persons, is punishable:

• compulsory work for up to 480 hours;
• or correctional labor for up to 2 years;
• or imprisonment for a term of up to 2 years.

Owning a gun is a big responsibility. To get only positive emotions from hunting with firearms, you must not only fulfill all the requirements
regulatory documents, but use some features of the apartment for optimal and hidden from outsiders placement of the safe, some other possibilities for hiding from the prying eye. Don't forget the rules fire safety when handling ammunition. Always remember the rules safe handling with weapon.
Happy hunting everyone!

If it is impossible to install an alarm system for technical reasons, cabinets and boxes for storing weapons are attached to one of the walls of the room with steel bolts (at least two) with a thread diameter of 16 mm or more.

Storing weapons at home: requirements, rules and conditions

What recommendations can you give for purchasing a safe and installing it in an apartment? In practice - 1. At your place of stay (long-term stay in a rented apartment), you MUST have a locked safe or metal cabinet. 2. Do not store weapons in boxes made of high-strength materials or in wooden boxes lined with iron, because Not a single inspector understands what it is, and there are no similar products in stores. 3. To avoid unnecessary questions in the future, purchase a safe with an internal key-locked compartment for supposedly separate storage of weapons and ammunition. 4.Do not use internal (padlocks) borrowed from homemade safes. mailboxes, the castle should look solid in appearance.

Storing hunting weapons at home: laws and order

Basic requirements for storing weapons.

At the same time, the placement of safes and cabinets should not interfere with the opening of doors in the room where weapons are stored. How to hide a safe It is not recommended to place a safe in an open place; camouflage of a gun safe is encouraged.

Info

For example, a safe where a weapon is hidden can be placed inside a wardrobe, if such a wardrobe is located against the wall (the owner of the weapon can easily mount the safe on the wall through the wall of the wardrobe). Outside, such storage can be hung with items of clothing.

With this method of disguise, it will be difficult for an outsider to determine the location of the safe. A very unconventional place to place a safe is the kitchen or bathroom.

Storage for weapons can easily be disguised, for example, as a cabinet for bathroom accessories.

Xi. storage of weapons and ammunition

Important

If athletes go to training camps or various types of competitions using sports shooting rifles, they are allowed to store a rifle arsenal at the location of the shooting competitions. Regulatory and technical basis Instructions for organizing the work of internal affairs bodies to control the circulation of civilian and service weapons and ammunition on the territory of the Russian Federation (Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 288 dated April 12, 1999, as amended on July 15, 2013): According to the instructions of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, internal affairs officers check hunting weapons with a rifled barrel once every six months, and smooth-bore hunting weapons - once a year.

It is stored in locked safes, metal cabinets, boxes made of high-strength materials, wooden boxes lined with iron.

Requirements for a gun safe 2017

Comments on the provisions If we consider each requirement for a safe for storing weapons at home separately, then we can form a certain set of criteria, by observing which we can avoid questions from the LRR inspector:

• The presence of a metal box or cabinet, closed with two locks, the thickness of the walls is equal to or exceeds two millimeters.
• The presence of a second safe or metal box, closed with two locks, for gunpowder and cartridges, the wall thickness of which is equal to or exceeds three millimeters.
• The requirements for storing weapons at home (2016) suggest that the previous paragraph can be replaced with a compartment for gunpowder and cartridges in a gun safe, which is locked with a separate lock.

Rules for storing hunting weapons. legal requirements for cabinets and safes

The procedure and conditions for storing weapons and ammunition during their production are established by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation in agreement with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. (as amended by Resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 30, 2005 N 847, dated March 10, 2009 N 219) (see text in the previous edition) 56. The procedure for accepting weapons and ammunition for storage, their transfer, issuance and execution of the necessary accounting documents is established by orders heads of legal entities in accordance with the requirements established by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. The procedure for carrying out these actions with weapons and ammunition placed under the customs procedure is established by the Federal Customs Service.
(as amended by Resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 30, 2005 N 847, dated July 26, 2006 N 459, dated November 8, 2014 N 1178) (see text in the previous edition) 57.

Law on storage of hunting weapons 2017

• The windows of an apartment or room located on the last or first floor of a building must additionally contain an installed metal grill in the manner prescribed for storage areas for weapons products.
• Then, when installing an alarm is impossible, in accordance with technical reasons, boxes and cabinets for storing products must be secured to one of the walls of the room using steel bolts (at least two), the thread diameter of which is equal to or greater than sixteen millimeters.

Weapon storage legal entities It is important to note that the requirements for storing hunting weapons at home (2016 did not make amendments to this law) required for individuals, are somewhat different from the requirements for legal entities.

Rules for storing weapons and ammunition

By the way, mounting a gun safe to the wall can also be justified, since due to the design features, a tall safe tends to fall when the door is open. Cottage owners should take a closer look at models of gun safes built into the wall - these also exist, and purchasing them provides significant savings in money and nerves.

Sometimes this option is preferable in a city apartment. The restriction on the minimum thickness of the walls of the safe should not be taken literally; it is caused by the concern of the Ministry of Internal Affairs about the burglary resistance of the safe. Unfortunately, the care turned out to be somewhat clumsy - in Europe, almost all manufacturers use steel with a thickness of two to two and a half millimeters, which is formally not suitable for storing cartridges, while the mechanical strength is significantly higher than that of domestic craftsmen who meet the requirement for wall thickness 3 mm. It's a matter of the quality of the steel used.
Thus, in reality, safe conditions for storing traumatic weapons at home are achieved exclusively by combining the use of security and a gun safe. Specific requirements on this issue are spelled out in the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 21, 1998, in Chapter 59 regarding measures to regulate the circulation of service and civilian weapons, as well as cartridges for them on the territory of Russia.
In addition to this legislative act, the analyzed problem is regulated by the Appendix to the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs dated April 12, 1999 “Instructions for organizing the activities of internal affairs bodies affecting control over the circulation of service and civilian weapons, as well as ammunition for them on the territory of Russia.”

New legislation on storing hunting rifles at home

All of them are placed in separate packages.

• Weapons.
• Artistically designed weapons that contain precious metals and stones.
• Gunpowder.
Equipment of a room for storing weapons If a person has a collection of weapons, then a security and fire alarm must be installed in the storage room. If for technical reasons it is not possible to install an alarm system, then weapon storage facilities are attached to the walls of the room using at least 2 steel bolts. The thread diameter of the bolts must be at least 16 mm. Mounting the gun cabinet to the wall helps prevent it from tipping over, as tall safes often fall over after the door is opened. The instability of such safes is due to big difference in the ratio of the base and height of the weapon storage. When opening the cabinet door, this difference increases, so securing the safe becomes a necessary necessity.

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.
