5 absurd myths about firearms in Russia

The United States of America is known worldwide for its famous "fourth amendment" of the constitution, which allows citizens to carry arms. After all, as you know, armed people are "polite" people. Especially in a state of alcoholic intoxication, on the verge of poverty or depression. In this regard, the United States appears as a real standard of the country with the legalization of weapons, which is the reason for the creation of numerous stupid myths about carrying a firearm in other countries, including Russia.

1. Can't buy weapons

It's hard to believe, but there are quite a few people in the domestic open spaces who really believe that it is impossible to legally buy weapons in Russia. And you certainly can't buy a weapon that is not hunting. In fact, this is not the case, the Russians can acquire a fairly wide range of various firearms. The only "but" is that individual samples are bought only if a person has been using a more modest weapon for several years without problems with the law. All questions on this topic are regulated by the federal law "On weapons".

2. Weapons only under license

Not all types. / Photo: zbroya.info.

The sale of weapons under a license applies only to firearms and cold weapons. However, in accordance with the law, weapons also include aerosol cans, stun guns, flare guns, air guns, and some other similar things. Most of the above is sold without a special license.

3. Safe, bolts to the wall, alarm

Not necessarily. / Photo: seif.shop.by.

The requirement to keep weapons in a safe applies not to individuals, but exclusively to legal entities. The same goes for "screwing the safe to the wall" and installing the alarm. Ordinary citizens should only keep their weapons (in accordance with the law) in a discharged and not equipped form, as well as in a holster (if any). Also, individuals must ensure that unauthorized persons cannot access weapons. However, an ordinary lock is often enough for this, and not a safe.

4. Every knife is a weapon

Determined according to GOST. / Photo: top-nozhi.ru.

Representatives of security companies and police officers now and then "nightmare" citizens on the topic of cold steel. Of course, not every knife (even a very large one) is such. Knives are also available for household and outdoor use. Such equipment is sold without any permission. The knife belongs to melee weapons according to the relevant GOST.

5. Traumatic weapon weak to laughter

What we call "traumatic weapons" are actually called "limited-damage firearms." In other words, this is really a weapon that can cause serious injury and even kill a person, and not some kind of toy. Suffice it to mention that the carrying and storage of PLCs is governed by the same laws as "full-fledged" firearms.
