In the process of obtaining a permit, which allows you to carry or store civilian weapons, each owner is faced with a number of requirements. These requirements are regulated by law and are aimed at ensuring safe circulation of weapons.
The number of weapons that are in private hands is growing over time; today it is several million guns. Ensuring state control over the circulation of weapons is a priority task of the entire licensing system.
Returning to the requirements, it should be noted that the potential owner of any type of weapon must compare his own chances of obtaining permits. If even one of the points below is not met, this will lead to the licensing authorities refusing to issue the coveted document.
Requirements for gun owners
In order to submit an application allowing you to obtain permission to purchase weapons, you must first familiarize yourself with the list of requirements.
- The citizen must be 18 years old (in case of purchasing a traumatism). But other things being equal, when it comes to legalizing rifled weapons, the age limit is limited to 21 years.
- A citizen must have permanent registration. Temporary registration is allowed, provided that the citizen actually lives at the address stated in the application form.
- An applicant for a license must provide the licensing department with a medical certificate, which indicates that the state of health meets certain standards. Attached to this certificate are extracts from the drug dispensary and from the psychiatrist. This indicates that the citizen is not registered with any of these specialists. Recently, the results of analysis for the content of substances of a narcotic nature in the body have also been required.
- A citizen should not be held administratively liable for violations related to failure to maintain public order. Here we are talking about a period of time that is limited to the last year, but not for all years.
- The citizen must not be serving a criminal sentence, and he must not have an outstanding criminal record.
We specifically placed the criminal record requirement in last place in order, but this does not mean that this requirement has the last place in importance. And if no complaints or questions arise regarding the other requirements, then the topic of an outstanding or expunged criminal record requires in-depth analysis, as shown by the statistics of questions on various forums.
