How to get a license for the storage and carrying of hunting weapons

In accordance with the Federal Law of the Russian Federation dated December 13, 1996 No. 150 “On Weapons”, any type of smooth-bore weapon is subject to mandatory licensing and registration.

Everything related to weapons should be carried out by conscientious and responsible citizens only within the framework of the current legislation. In cases of violation of applicable standards, problems may arise with the police.

This permission makes it possible to use for hunting and self-defense such types of smooth-bore objects as single-barreled and double-barreled shotguns, pistols, pump-action shotguns, sports weapons, revolvers and the like. All these types require compulsory licensing, including registration. Permission cannot be obtained in the absence of a license.

Resolution is of two types :

  1. storage of a hunting rifle without the right to carry it;
  2. for storage and carrying.

The first view makes it possible only to keep the gun at home. Its transportation is prohibited, with the exception of its export to sporting events.

Documents for hunting weapons in the second case allow how to store it and carry it with you. In addition, you can use the gun for specific, statutory purposes outside the home.
