If I travel abroad with a hunting rifle, do I need any additional documents?

I’m publishing a friend’s story about his transportation experience traumatic pistol from Moscow to St. Petersburg by plane. So, in the words of D.K.:

The other day, I had the need to move to the Northern capital of our Motherland. When choosing transport, I was guided by the time of arrival in order to be met by friends and avoid visiting social species transport. And then I realized that I would fly by plane. But I remembered that I didn’t want to deprive myself of the opportunity to move around with my beloved Makarych, I got used to him. And here I began to have doubts: will I be able to carry out my plans to the fullest, and end up in St. Petersburg and not part with Makarych? To begin with, I called all my friends involved in the ownership firearms to torment them and clarify this situation. But as it turned out, no one among my friends flew with weapons on airplanes and I will be partly a pioneer (in my social circle).

How small retreat, at that time, I was familiar with only some aspects of the flight of certified employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, armed with service firearms and sent to the Investigative Committee, but as expected, there was a slight difference. As it turned out, the only difference is that at almost all points they were met and accompanied by officers of the line police department, and all weapons and ammunition were indicated on the travel certificate and were thus allowed for transportation.

At that time I thought that the gulf of differences was much greater, but let’s return to my trip. Realizing that I know nothing about transportation traumatic weapons on the plane, I began to study this issue on the Internet. But it just so happened that I didn’t have time for a detailed and thorough study of this issue, so I started looking for the telephone number of the air travel security service; there is such a service at every airport. This telephone number was kindly provided to me at the Aeroflot help desk. Having called, I heard that all I need to do is declare at the airport check-in desk that I have a traumatic weapon, and then they will meet me, and it is very important not to forget my valid license. But I won’t get ahead of myself and will tell you everything in order.

I went to Sheremetyevo Airport by Aeroexpress from the Belorussky Station. At the entrance to the ticket office at the airport, where my personal belongings were being inspected, I immediately warned that I had a weapon, the security officer looked at the license, read it and... let me through without checking with the weapon! Then I got to the airport without any problems or questions. When I went to the terminal I needed, where an inspection was also carried out, I also declared a weapon and... again, they looked at the license in the same way, and let me through without checking with the weapon! Next, at check-in, I told the employee that I had a firearm, the employee called the internal phone and two minutes later an air travel security officer approached me. Another three minutes later I found myself in the premises of this service, where I disarmed and handed over the pistol and ammunition to the employees. And only here they have already checked all the applied markings with the license, carefully checked the documents, looked through all the ammunition, because... gas and incendiary cartridges are prohibited for transportation. Then they drew up a Certificate of Transfer for Storage for the duration of the flight in triplicate, I signed them, carefully checking everything written, and received one of them in my hands. The pistol with magazines and cartridges was packed in a tight plastic bag, where they put one of the copies of the above-mentioned Act, sealed it and wished you a pleasant flight. I would like to note that people are polite and cultured. The flight itself went like that of ordinary passengers and nothing remarkable happened. Upon arrival in Pulkovo, I went to the premises of such a service (all airport employees know where they are, you can ask anyone) and after waiting a little more than ten minutes, using the passport, license and Act I provided, I received my Makarych back.

During all the procedures, I expected to see more attention to my armed, albeit traumatic, personality. I was shocked that I was allowed onto the Aeroexpress and into the terminal territory without checking my documents with the weapon; no one made any notes about this fact anywhere. In fact, he calmly walked into the airport with a firearm and nowhere this fact was not recorded. For example, when I had to meet friends at Domodedovo airport, before entering the arrival hall, an employee of the line department checked my passport, license, checked the markings on the weapon with what was written in the documents, and only after making an entry about this in the journal (which was intended for me could not find out) were allowed inside the airport. Let's hope that in Sheremetyevo, such things will appear at all personal inspection posts. interesting magazines, where all information about weapons located on the airport premises will be recorded.
Rules for transporting traumatic weapons on an airplane? I couldn't find them even on the vast expanses of the Internet. On the websites of air carriers there are rules for the transportation of dangerous goods, but there are no regulations and procedures for transporting weapons... why? Nowadays, we increasingly meet people who own traumatic weapons and want to move around the expanses of our Motherland, but in the legislation we can only see the following: Article 25 Federal Law No. 150 “On Weapons” dated December 13, 1996, states that the registration, carrying, transportation, and transport of weapons are determined by the Government of the Russian Federation. And we again go to legal sources and find Government Resolution No. 814 of July 21, 1998, where we may need to know about the above problem Chapter XIII, paragraph 77, which says that we can transport no more than 5 weapons and no more than 400 cartridges, but for each weapon these cartridges or this total permitted for transportation is not explained. It will also be interesting that transportation is carried out in cases, holsters or special cases.
It is unknown how long it will take for this issue to become so relevant that air carriers take care and write detailed regulations on this issue on their official websites. The question of transporting traumatic weapons on high-speed trains is also still open, because this moment security measures have been strengthened and in order to get on Sapsan, you will have to undergo a personal inspection procedure and railway stations. Will you personally take him or will the police officers accompanying the train... excuse me, the police? And if the weapon is left with you, will it be unloaded and where will the ammunition be located? I hope to write to you about this a little later, again based on personal experience.

Hunting enthusiasts, competitive shooters, and owners of other types of weapons are sometimes forced to transport their guns in their cars. And what? There's shooting on every corner in America, and we can't even transport a gun. Why? Can! You just need to do it correctly. But the laws are constantly changing and transforming.

Officials never tire of surprising drivers. They often also apply to those who transport weapons in vehicles. Most often this has to be done, for example, by hunters. If you start delving into the texts of laws such as “On Hunting and the Conservation of Hunting Resources”, as well as the document “On Weapons”, you can very easily get lost.

After all, documents can be interpreted in different ways. How to transport weapons anyway?

For transportation only!

Long-barreled weapons may be taken out of the house only for transportation to hunting, storage, sport shooting, registration or repair. The owner of the trunk should know that if something happens, he will have to explain to the policeman where he is taking his wealth.

You must have with you an identification document (that is, your passport) and permission obtained from the police. By the way, in some regions of our vastness, for example, in the capital, employees of licensing and permitting departments are not asked to carry smoothbore guns. Owners rifled carbine you will have to find time to go through the control shooting procedure.

Sports equipment or weapons?

Raids “on hunters” are common events at the State Traffic Inspectorate. Typically, such preventive actions are carried out on weekends. It is necessary to ask what kind of “trunk” the stopped driver is carrying. After all, transportation hunting weapons in a car has its own subtleties. If something is not in the car correctly, there may be problems. This means that the laws are still worth studying. It’s better to know it by heart.

Knowledge of the law can discourage law enforcement officers and even forestry representatives. By the way, the police may even be interested in a baseball bat. After all, not everyone considers it sports equipment. Few people in Russia play baseball. But you can ask the authorities: what article of the law says it is impossible to transport a baseball bat in the trunk, that is, what article of the law are they referring to? This can confuse the police.

Charged or not?

So, it has already been said above that a gun with a rifled and smooth barrel is for hunting, as well as smoothbore weapon For self-defense, residents of our country can take them outside only for transportation. According to the law, such weapons are as follows. A case is required for transportation. It is better that it covers the weapon completely. This also applies to traumatic weapons. Regarding the issue of “charge,” the main thing here is to understand which “barrels” are considered charged? For the average person, this concept is explained as follows: the cartridges of a gun must be removed from the barrels.

By the way, they should lie separately. The horn of the carabiner must be removed. The head office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs thinks quite differently. “The weapon is considered loaded when a cartridge is inserted into the chamber and firing mechanism cocked" and, "hence, a weapon with an attached loaded magazine is not loaded." These formulations are from 2008. A corresponding letter from the permitting system exists. You can print it out and always carry it in your car. It’s just that not all law enforcement officers are aware.

Is this a search?

Anyone transporting firearms “things” needs to know what a State Traffic Inspectorate employee can check and what they cannot. First you need to ask why the stop was made, then present documents. For a car. You should not show your weapons permit right away. Additional questions should be answered in the negative. Drugs? No. Prohibited items? No. It is better to immediately open the trunk at the request of the officer, but the policeman should not climb into the car, because he simply does not have the right to do this.

The search is carried out only in the presence of witnesses and with the preparation of a protocol. And this is just a visual inspection. If the gun is not in plain sight, it may not be noticed. On a forest road, a forester can try to stop a car, but without a law enforcement officer, he has no right to do this.

Import and export of weapons from the country

In order to cross borders with a weapon in the trunk, you must fill out a special permission form. All this is preceded by certification of trunks. But you can carry a weapon without certification in several cases:

there is a declaration of conformity or certificate;
according to an international treaty, moves within the Russian Federation;
imported temporarily for hunting, participation in historical, cultural, sports exhibitions or events.

The transit of weapons through our country must be accompanied by obtaining a license from the customs authorities of the state. Weapons imported and exported from Russia must undergo customs inspection.

Responsibilities of a weapons carrier

Thus, transporting weapons in a car requires preparation. After all, no one has canceled responsibility for the incorrect transportation of weapons, especially if negligence led to a tragedy. If the owner is transporting “shooting objects,” he may be held accountable.

Provides for administrative punishment - a fine of 1,000 to 1,500 rubles. For improper transportation of a firearm “item” (with the exception of a civilian long-barreled smoothbore), a negligent owner may also face criminal prosecution. The punishment may be:

restriction of freedom for up to 4 years;
forced labor for up to 4 years;
arrest for up to 6 months.

Fines under this article can reach eighty thousand rubles or the amount of income for three months.

Be alert!

So, for those who want to carry guns, sporting pistols or other firearms in a car, it is better to study the legislation thoroughly. Take care of the necessary papers in advance and know who needs to show documents and who not.

Rules for transporting weapons:

With the transportation of weapons, everything is quite simple: you simply cannot bring them into the cabin of the plane. At the checkpoint, your hand luggage will even be taken away toy pistol. However, if you have all the necessary documents, then you can carry a pretty big arsenal in the trunk.

Melee weapons and piercing objects:

The vast majority of knives carelessly left in hand luggage are tourist knives and can be carried in checked luggage. However, if the blade has sufficient rigidity to hit a person (does not bend) or has a number of other signs of a bladed weapon, it may be taken for a special study. When you buy a knife, you may be given a certificate indicating its model and what this knife It is not a melee weapon. To avoid having your knife confiscated during inspection, simply take this certificate with you.

Hunting knives are carried only in luggage and in a case. As a rule, they are numbered - the number is indicated on the hunting license. Be sure to keep it with you, otherwise seizure cannot be avoided.

Hunting rifles:

Russian companies (S7, Vimavia, Transaero, Domodedovo Airlines, KrasAir, etc.) take a calm approach to the transportation of firearms (primarily, this applies to domestic flights). Just come to registration and declare that you have a gun at the special control point. It must be packaged separately - it is delivered to the aircraft under special supervision. Enclose with your weapon a transportation permit (it is obtained in the same place where licenses for storing and purchasing weapons are issued - at your place of residence in the licensing department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs) and a hunting license.

The cartridges and barrel are taken away, a report is drawn up (you receive one of the copies). Returned at the destination airport upon presentation of the certificate. Regarding the transport of ammunition, weapons and special remedy, then for this in action general standards payment for excess baggage and free carriage. The barrels (their total number does not exceed 5) must be unloaded and disassembled (necessarily in a case). The cartridges are packaged separately: one person can have up to four hundred cartridges (they must be in the original packaging, the weight must not exceed five kilograms).

When moving abroad, the presence of weapons is declared in in writing right at customs. After this, a procedure similar to the above is repeated: security service representatives - acts - seizure - return to the destination. Another condition is permission for export/import from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country where you are traveling, and from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. It is, of course, advisable to have an invitation to hunt.

Transportation by Aeroflot aircraft is similar to what is described above. However, in addition to this, the company's requirements include a statement of the planned transportation of weapons at the time of purchasing the ticket. If the ticket is electronic (purchased online), then you need to call the company in advance and make all the necessary explanations.

Transportation by train is much easier. Just put the gun in a case and the cartridges (they should be packed separately) in a bag (place it on a shelf) and, if the route does not involve crossing state borders, calmly drive to your destination. As a rule, no one notices the weapon; you do not need to inform anyone that you are transporting it.
