In our turbulent time, many people have a desire to acquire a means of self-defense. And often it is not a stun gun or a pepper spray, but a traumatic gun. But to obtain it you need a license for traumatic weapons. This will be discussed in the article.
How to get permission?
Traumatic weapons are not easy to buy. To obtain permission to purchase, you must:
- undergo a medical examination;
- take training courses in shooting, rules for handling weapons and safety when wearing one;
- pass the exam;
- contact the licensing department with the necessary package of documents.
Within a month, a citizen's application will be considered, after which a positive or negative decision is made. If a refusal was received in response to a statement of intent to obtain a license for traumatic weapons, the decision can be appealed to the court within a month. The district police officer checks the availability of the necessary weapon safe at the place of residence of the person who submitted the application, and the compliance of this safe with all the necessary parameters for storing weapons and ammunition.
What license documents are needed?
It is too early to acquire traumatic weapons, as you need to go a few more steps. To obtain a license to carry and store one, you must submit the relevant documents.
The weapons for self-defense for which the document is issued include:
- gas pistols ;
- barrelless weapons of domestic production;
- signaling.
To obtain a license for traumatic weapons, you must contact the licensing department of the nearest police station and provide:
- statement with passport data and information about weapons;
- two 3x4 photos;
- certificate of medical examination;
- certificate of passing courses of handling weapons and passing the exam;
- receipt of payment of duty (30 rubles - for gas weapons and 110 - for traumatic);
- photocopy and original passport.
The same documents are submitted to renew the license. A sample of already acquired weapons is also provided for inspection and entry into the database.
If a license is obtained
The price for traumatic weapons varies. The most budgetary option is the OCA pistol, the cost of which ranges from 8,000 to 20,000 rubles.
Classic versions (which also have a license for traumatic weapons) like TT 10 * 28 caliber cost about 90,000 rubles, the Leader-M model with a caliber of 11.43 * 32 can be found for about 17,000, and Grand Power T -12 with the same 10 * 28 - for about 35,000.
It is important that there is a license for traumatic weapons. The price will already depend on the model and manufacturer. Purchase and sale are carried out strictly on a legislative basis. We are talking about the acquisition of a means of self-defense, as well as ammunition for it. If there is no license for traumatic weapons, the acquisition of such is impossible.
Dates and registrations
It is important to buy a holster along with the “injury”. When the license documents have already been submitted to the relevant department, the gun must be bought within six months. Holster and weapons are purchased at the appropriate specialist store. After the purchase, it is necessary to take the “injury” to the same department within two weeks for registration. It is important to remember that if you carry weapons without a holster (outside the holster), they can be fined.
Storage and carrying
If a license for traumatic weapons is available, it is important to pay attention to such nuances as storing self-defense equipment at home.
It is necessary to purchase a safe of such a volume to fit weapons, ammunition and a holster. It is advisable to fix it more firmly on the wall in such a place that the safe is not conspicuous. It is better to always carry the key to it with you, thus excluding the ability to open the safe and use the weapon for someone else.
If the apartment is located on the first or last floor, window bars are required. Also, LROs may require the installation of an alarm system in the room, otherwise you will be denied and a license for traumatic weapons will not be issued. A considerable price - about 20,000 rubles per installation, plus 400 rubles each month. Sometimes you will need to install a more reliable front door, which costs about 30,000 rubles.
In every city there is a company that deals with weapons training . Usually this is DOSAAF or a shooting and sports club. The average cost of training is approximately 5,000 rubles, license renewal - from 2,000 to 3,000 rubles. The license for traumatic weapons should always be with you, especially if a person moves with it in the village. The gun must be transported when sheathed in a holster, unloaded and without a cartridge in the chamber.
Conclusion
It must always be remembered that a license for traumatic weapons requires an extension. And you also need to realize that owning a traumatic device is a huge responsibility. Before shooting, it’s better to think three times, because one wrong step (that is, an unsuccessful shot) can make the defender a criminal and send them to the dock.
The traumatic gun is identical to a combat weapon. It differs only in low power shots. It is important to understand that, in defense, you must not kill or cripple the attacker. You can’t shoot in the head - a bullet can hit your neck, then the criminal will bleed and die, and the defender will become guilty and will be punished for exceeding self-defense standards.
For example, as practice shows, in winter shooting is useless in many cases. Firstly, due to frost, the range of a bullet can decrease to 1-3 meters. Secondly, when shooting in the stomach, she will not do any harm because of the warm jacket worn on the attacker. In this case, it is recommended to shoot at the legs in the region of the lower leg or knee.
You must also always remember where you can shoot and where you can’t. This can be found in the courses on handling weapons. In addition, it should be understood that a license to carry traumatic weapons will not be issued to persons:
- under the age of 18;
- prisoners serving sentences;
- having a criminal record for particularly serious crimes;
- not providing a full package of necessary documents to the appropriate department.
