Rules for the storage of weapons and ammunition

Buying weapons is a serious step. And the point here is not only that it is necessary to follow established procedures and obtain permits. Particular attention should be given to the storage conditions and rules for carrying weapons. Let us consider them in more detail.

Relevance of the issue

Many, even experienced owners, have many questions about the existing order. The fact is that according to the Law "On Arms" (Federal Law No. 150) each region has the right to provide additional norms to federal acts. In this regard, the requirements in different subjects of the Russian Federation may differ significantly. In addition, experts licensing and licensing department can put forward their own requirements. Clear legislation that specifies the regulations relating directly to individuals is not available in legislation. Nevertheless, there is a general order that must be observed.

Normative base

устанавливаются в ФЗ № 150. В нормативном акте присутствуют положения, касающиеся и других видов спецсредств. The basic regulations, according to which the rules for the storage and storage of hunting weapons are defined , are established in Federal Law No. 150. The normative act contains provisions concerning other types of special means. The key prescription is in Art. 22. It says that official and civilian weapons must be stored in conditions that ensure its safety, security and exclude outsiders access.

Explanations

The above formulation is considered by many experts to be very vague. . In this regard, experts recommend that, before submitting documents for a license directly, it is necessary to find out in the territorial ODRR the rules for the storage of firearms established by it. This need is related to the security requirement. Rules for the storage of weapons and ammunition prescribe the installation of a safe. However, this is not enough. It is necessary to ensure reliable protection of the metal box. Installing it in a separate room does not guarantee its safety. Real security can be achieved by a set of measures.

Decree of the Government

This document specifies the general rules for the storage of weapons and ammunition belonging to citizens. In Government Decision No. 814 of July 21, 1998, attention should be paid to Ch. 59. It establishes the following conditions. Weapons and cartridges, which belong to citizens, should be kept in the place of residence in compliance with the rules ensuring safety and security. Access by unauthorized persons should be excluded. предусматривают наличие запирающегося на замок сейфа или ящика из высокопрочного материала. The rules for storing weapons at home provide for the presence of a lockable safe or box of high-strength material. It is allowed to use a wooden cabinet upholstered in metal. ATS at the place of residence of citizens has the right to check the conditions for storage of purchased and registered weapons. The maintenance of special means in places of stay should be carried out with performance of the conditions excluding to them access of strangers. In accordance with these provisions, any reinforced box or locker, which is located at the owner's residence, can act as a storage facility.

Instructions

It explains in more detail the rules for storing weapons of ammunition. The instruction is approved by Order No. 288 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of April 12, 1999. Rules for the storage of weapons installed in it also prescribe the installation of fortified structures that lock. The box or safe should not be located at the place of registration, but at the address of the owner's residence. At the same time, if a citizen has a collection of weapons, the room where it is stored must be equipped with a security and fire alarm system. The entrance must be equipped with a metal door with additional locks and a box. дополнительно устанавливают требования к окнам. The rules for the storage of hunting weapons and ammunition additionally set requirements for windows. In the premises located on the first / last floors, lattices must be installed. If, for technical reasons, the premises can not be equipped with an alarm system, the boxes / cabinets in which the weapon is located are attached to one of the walls by steel bolts with two or more bolts with thread diameters of 16 mm.

Requirements for legal entities

в организациях, предусмотренные в п. 164 Инструкции, предписывают содержать его в ящиках, пирамидах, шкафах, которые устанавливаются в специально оснащенных комнатах, в разряженном состоянии, с поставленным на предохранитель спущенным курком. The rules for storage of weapons in organizations stipulated in paragraph 164 of the Instruction prescribe that it should be kept in boxes, pyramids, cabinets that are installed in specially equipped rooms, in a discharged state, with a trigger triggered to the fuse. The items should be greased and clean. Storage is carried out separately from the cartridges. The tags are attached to the box, pyramid, and cabinet. They indicate the type of model and number, in accordance with the inventory and accounting book. Such a requirement is established for the weapons assigned to employees of the legal entity. In some organizations, special statutory tasks may be envisaged. In this case, the rules allow the storage of cartridges along with the weapon. They should be in clips, removable drums, shops or pads. Weapons in factory packages (boxes, boxes) and cartridges in the capping can be placed on the shelves. Placer is allowed to contain only in metal boxes. In this case, they must be closed for two different locks.

Separated accommodation

In separate metal cabinets, safes, boxes, pyramids contain:

1. Cartridges and weapons, except those specified in clause 164 of the Instruction. In this case, elements in which pyrotechnic compounds, charged with tear gas or other irritants, are present should be in a separate package. A similar regulation applies to cartridges that have misfired.
2. Art-designed models in which there are precious stones or metals.
3. Seized weapons and taken for temporary storage from employees of organizations and individuals, as well as consisting on the balance sheet.
4. Gunpowder, packaged in special metal sealed closures, as well as in plastic bags for retail sale.

предписывают устанавливать шкафы и ящики с замками, стенки которых должны быть не меньше 2 мм толщиной; The rules for the storage of rifled weapons prescribe the installation of cabinets and boxes with locks, the walls of which must be at least 2 mm thick; In safes containing gunpowder, articles including pyrotechnic charges or throwing equipment, 3 mm; In containers used for transportation by air, not less than 1.6 mm.

Spaces of legislation

не содержат отдельных пунктов, касающихся конкретных категорий владельцев. The above rules for the storage of weapons do not contain separate items relating to specific categories of owners. In particular, there are no requirements for legal entities, which are detective agencies, sports, trade and other organizations. There are no specific regulations for athletes, hunters, collectors, amateurs and so on. In accordance with the Instruction, the procedure provided for legal entities is applicable to citizens. At the same time, there are ambiguities in the requirements. предусматривают установку решеток на окна. For example, the weapons storage option provides for the installation of gratings on windows. In this paragraph it is unclear whether they refer exclusively to collectors or to other citizens, too. Meanwhile, in rural areas many physical persons live in single-story houses. Accordingly, the requirement for lattices is somewhat absurd. Another incomprehensible moment concerns the conditions of attaching the box to the wall, the presence of an additional compartment for storing gunpowder and cartridges. It is not entirely clear whether this prescription applies to all owners or to certain categories. Experts recommend maximum security. – общие и специальные, выработанные в ОЛРР, - и создать условия, максимально им соответствующие. This means that it is advisable to study all the rules for the storage of weapons - general and special, developed in the OHRR, and create the conditions that are most relevant to them.

conclusions

: Based on the above information, we can formulate the following rules for the storage of hunting weapons and ammunition :

1. The thickness of all the walls of the metal cabinet is not less than 2 mm.
2. The presence of 2 different locks.
3. Installation of a separate metal box for ammunition, gunpowder. It must also have 2 locks, and the thickness of its walls - not less than 3 mm.

допускают установку в шкафу дополнительного закрывающегося отделения. The rules for the storage of hunting weapons allow the installation of an additional closing compartment in the cabinet. Its walls must also be at least 3 mm. It should be understood that these requirements are the minimum necessary to ensure safety. Accordingly, if a citizen owns a particularly valuable specimen of a gun, then a cabinet with walls of 2 mm can not guarantee safety.

Recommendations of experts

Specialists advise with special attention to choose locks for the cabinet. Locking mechanisms must be resistant to burglary and long-term frequent opening. It is not necessary to save and purchase boxes with postal locks. The resource of such mechanisms is very limited, and reliability is minimal. Specialists also recommend to avoid buying lockers in which door locks are installed. As practice shows, Chinese mechanisms serve no more than a year, Italian and Israeli - 4-5 years. According to the results of the conducted studies, it was established that the owner of the weapon uses the cabinet on average for 25 years, and opens it about 20 times a year. Thus, the need to install a quality lock is obvious. Most of the cabinets and safes for weapons are large in mass and height. To prevent the fall of such a structure, it is advisable to attach it to the floor or walls with bolts. This is also true for a private home. Owners of suburban real estate should pay attention to the built-in designs of safes and cabinets. Such designs are highly resistant to burglary. In addition, they can be easily disguised. Do not forget about fire safety. Cartridges should be stored separately in a safe installed far from the heaters. In specialized stores you can buy a fire cabinet.

Cost

The price of weapons cabinets is different. The cheapest are from 1 thousand rubles. But in the first days of operation, the paint will begin to melt, and after a while the locking mechanisms will fail. In general, the reliability of such boxes is very doubtful. A quality wardrobe can cost several tens of thousands of dollars. The price of a box depends on its size. For example, pistol metal safes have smaller sizes, respectively, their price is lower.

CAO

должны исполняться неукоснительно. Rules for the storage and carrying of weapons must be strictly enforced. For non-compliance, liability is provided. устанавливаются административные санкции. For violation of the rules for the storage of firearms , administrative sanctions are imposed. Officials face disqualification for a period of six months to a year, organizations - suspension of activities for 10-60 days. Fines are also provided. For officials, the penalty is 4-5 thousand rubles, organizations - 40-50 thousand r. Non-compliance with the procedure for issuing sv-va for training, testing knowledge of security requirements when handling weapons or medical reports about the lack of contra-indications for citizens to own weapons Is punishable by an administrative fine. For officials it is 10-50 tr. The perpetrators may also be disqualified for 0.5-1 year. , его производства, продажи либо учета, влекут денежное взыскание. If the specified actions were committed by the subject, brought to administrative responsibility during the year for violation of the rules of storage of weapons , its production, sale or accounting, entail a monetary penalty. It is 20-50 thousand r. In addition, the guilty will be confiscated weapons. Failure to comply with the procedure for keeping or transporting citizens who have an ATS permit results in a warning or a fine. The amount of recovery - 500 r.-2 thousand p. Legislation is also allowed to effect a forfeiture of weapons.

Additionally

When installing a weapon on the weapon that provides a noiseless shooting, or a night vision sight (except for hunting devices), guilty persons are fined 2-2.5 thousand rubles. At the same time, the equipment used is subject to confiscation. The order of the use of devices that ensure a noiseless shooting, as well as night vision sights is established by the Government. Illegal manufacture, transfer or sale of pneumatic weapons, caliber of 4.5 mm, muzzle energy of which is more than 7.5 J, assumes an administrative penalty from 1.5 to 2.5 thousand rubles for citizens, 3-4 thousand rubles. - for officials, 30-40 thousand rubles. - for legal entities. At the same time, confiscation of the product is permitted.

Toughening the order

The Ministry of Internal Affairs proposes to complicate the rules of storage and transportation of weapons for individuals. So, it is supposed to make an order in the order, consisting in the following. Storage of weapons is allowed only by the place of their permanent residence (at the registration address). A subject temporarily staying, for example, with relatives or in a rented apartment, can not keep the relevant items with him. Another innovation concerns transportation. The rules prescribe the transportation of weapons only with the permission of the police.

An Important Moment

According to Article 22 of Federal Law No. 150, the storage of weapons, as well as cartridges to it, is allowed by entities that have received a special permit for its acquisition. It is issued by the ATS. Storage of weapons purchased without a license and not registered with law enforcement agencies is carried out without permission. At the same time, conditions must be created that ensure security and prevent unauthorized access to outsiders.

Criminal penalty

In Art. 222 of the Criminal Code establishes responsibility for non-compliance with the procedure for storage of cold, gas and missile weapons. Punishment is provided from the restriction of freedom to 3 liters. Up to imprisonment up to 8 liters. In Art. 222 of the Criminal Code defined the sanctions and for the illegal sale of products. Criminal liability (from 180 hours of compulsory labor up to 2 years' imprisonment with or without a pecuniary punishment) is also established with illegal (in the absence of a license) manufacture or repair of weapons, components to it, and the production of ammunition, explosives and explosives . Punishment is also imposed in the case of the manufacture of articles by handicraft. In this case, the examination is carried out.

Negligence

As you know, there are different types of weapons. For most of them, you need to obtain permits. предписывают, как и в прочих случаях, обеспечить условия безопасности. Rules for the storage of traumatic weapons prescribe, as in other cases, to ensure security conditions. Negligence in this case is equated with a criminally punishable act. The criminalization of non-compliance with the established procedure is determined by its high danger. The object of the crime is health and life, and in some cases the property of the person. или любого иного его вида, субъект создает условия для применения его посторонними лицами. Not observing the rules for storing smooth-bore weapons or any other kind of weapon , the subject creates conditions for his use by outsiders. This can lead to serious consequences.

Failure to meet the deadlines for registration and registration of products

Infringement of the established order by the citizen assumes the prevention or the administrative penalty in 300-1000 r. The subject is obliged to register / put on record the weapons purchased under license within the prescribed time limits, to extend the validity of documents. In the event of a change in the address of permanent residence, a citizen must re-register the product within a specified period.

Transportation bans and restrictions in use

The Code of Administrative Offenses provides for the responsibility for the transfer, violation of the procedure for the transportation or use of weapons and ammunition. The dispatch of products involves the imposition of a fine of 1-1.5 thousand rubles. If the rules of transportation are violated, the guilty person will face a similar penalty. If the order of using the products is not respected, a fine of 1.5-2 thousand rubles will be provided. With their forfeit withdrawal or without it. The responsibility for the use of weapons in violation of the existing rules is also established. So, in case of shooting in places not allocated for this, guilty persons face an administrative fine of up to 1 thousand rubles. In this case, the product can be seized from the subject.

Conclusion

Despite some vagueness of a number of provisions, one thing is clear. Weapons - a dangerous object, which creates a threat to others. To avoid negative consequences, it is necessary to ensure proper conditions for keeping such products. If the requirements of legislative and other normative acts are not complied with, the perpetrators may be brought to administrative and criminal responsibility.
