What steps should be taken to obtain a permit for weapons

If a person wishes to acquire a certain type of firearm to protect himself, he will face some difficulties, since the purchase and storage are possible only on the basis of a document issued by the competent authorities. It is a permit for weapons guaranteed to provide its owner with rights that will allow them to use at some point.

Consider what the self-defense weapon is

If viewed from a technical point of view, such weapons are some combination of technical means that are used to protect the person himself. The main task of this tool is just to neutralize the attacker, and not to kill him. It is for this reason that this type of weapon, which is used for self-defense, has a rather weak damaging effect.

Let us note also the fact that, according to the thirteenth article of the provision "On Arms", only citizens can buy and get permission for weapons in our country if they are already 18 years old. Also, the future owner must have a special license issued in the internal affairs bodies located at the place of residence.

It is worth recalling that permission for weapons is required only for those citizens who acquire its following types: signal, long-barreled and barren fire, gas revolvers or pistols.

Which authorities need to pass a citizen and what documents should be issued in order to obtain a permit

In order to obtain a permit for weapons, the following authorities should be visited:

• Psychoneurological dispensary;
• Drug Dispensary;
• Medical and sanitary commission;
• Branch of the bank to pay the state a fee;
• Department in the ATS, which deals with the issuance of permits;
• District inspector at the place of residence.

Once all the certificates have been collected and the fee paid, the applicant provides at the place of registration in the police department documents that will allow permission for hunting weapons, as well as an arsenal for self-defense:

• A handwritten statement that is written in the prescribed form;
• The original, as well as a photocopy of your passport;
• Two photographs measuring 3x4 centimeters;
• The established form of medical statement, which would confirm that the applicant complies with all standards and is suitable for possession of weapons.

Norms to be observed when storing weapons of self-defense

Having issued a permit, the owner must provide everything necessary for the legal storage of his arsenal. Bought a gun for self-defense, as well as other similar means of protection must be kept in a place where unauthorized persons can not penetrate. The best option is a safe, or otherwise - a strong iron box. It should be noted that the safe and the box must be equipped with a special compartment for storing cartridges. Only if all these conditions are met will a person be allowed to have weapons at home that are meant for self-defense.
