Citizens of the Russian Federation who have reached the age of 18 have the right to purchase self-defense weapons, sports and hunting weapons, signal weapons and bladed weapons intended for wearing with the national costumes of the peoples of Russia or Cossack uniforms, after obtaining a license to purchase a specific type of weapon in internal affairs bodies at the place of residence.

To obtain a license to purchase weapons, a citizen must submit to the internal affairs body at his place of residence, in addition to an application and a document confirming Russian citizenship, also medical report about the absence of contraindications to gun ownership related to visual impairment, mental illness, alcoholism or drug addiction (Article 13 Federal Law “On Weapons” ). Failure to provide a medical report is grounds for refusal to issue a license (Article 9).

The same medical report will need to be submitted to citizens who received weapons as a reward (Article 20 1), by way of gift or inheritance (Article 20).

In accordance with clause 24 Rules for the circulation of civilian and service weapons and ammunition for them on the territory of the Russian Federation , approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 21, 1998 No. 814 [NW RF, 1998, No. 32, art. 3878, Russian newspaper, 2005, April 8 and December 13], a license to purchase weapons is not issued to citizens if they have chronic and protracted mental disorders with severe, persistent or often exacerbating painful manifestations.

The occurrence of these mental disorders in a person who has a license to purchase weapons entails its cancellation (Clause 3, Part 1, Article 26 of the Federal Law “On Weapons”).

Questions about issuing licenses to citizens suffering from epilepsy or severe forms of borderline mental disorders are considered individually by the Federal Agency for Healthcare and social development and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (as amended by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 30, 2005 No. 847).

What is the procedure for undergoing examination?

Medical examination is carried out in medical institutions that provide medical care to a citizen on an ongoing basis (at the place of residence or work, or under a mandatory contract health insurance) [ See order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated September 11, 2000 No. 344 “On medical examination of citizens for issuing a license to purchase weapons” (Rossiyskaya Gazeta, 2000, October 18) ].

The examination is attended by a local general practitioner using available medical documentation, as well as specialists - a psychiatrist, narcologist and ophthalmologist. If there are no specialists in a given medical institution, they are hired on a contractual basis.

The medical report is drawn up according to a specially established form No. 046-1. In the column “presence of contraindications,” each specialist underlines the word “identified” or “not identified.” The conclusion is then approved by a clinical expert commission medical institution and sealed with a seal.

Do internal affairs bodies have the right to demand from a citizen, in addition to a medical report, a certificate from the PND?

Such a requirement, contrary to the Federal Law “On Weapons,” was previously contained in subparagraph “d” of clause 22 of the Instructions for organizing the work of internal affairs bodies to control the circulation of civilian and service weapons and ammunition on the territory of the Russian Federation, approved by order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated April 12, 1999 city ​​No. 288 [Bulletin of normative acts of federal executive authorities, 1999, No. 32].

Based on the complaint of citizen R. Zyamilov, by a decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated July 24, 2003, this norm was declared invalid from the date the decision entered into legal force, i.e. from September 23, 2003 by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia of December 24, 2003 No. 1017 [Rossiyskaya Gazeta, 2004, January 23] from paragraph 22 of the Instructions, the words “certificates from drug treatment and psychoneurological dispensaries at the place of residence” were excluded.

Requiring a certificate from the PND in addition to a medical report is illegal.

The Russian government has expanded the list of diseases that prevent the ownership of weapons, both civilian and service. In, diseases of two, so to speak, categories are listed - mental disorders and eye diseases.

As for the patients of the ophthalmologist, everything is simple: we're talking about about people who see practically nothing - who have a 70 percent loss of vision; lenses and glasses do not help.

However, such a person is unlikely to want to buy a hunting rifle or a traumatic pistol - why does he need a gun if he can only feel the target? And if he nevertheless tries to obtain a license for “firearms,” he may automatically attract the interest of other medical specialists - psychiatrists.

But the varieties mental illness The government decree lists seven at once.

There's schizophrenia and mental retardation, and split personality.

Do I need to explain that under no circumstances should such people be given weapons? Actually, they are not given it - not only to a medical specialist, but also to any police officer of the licensing and permitting system, it will be clear at first glance who came to receive permission. Or - renew the license.

But there are also diseases that only a doctor can detect, and even then not immediately. For example, neurotic, stress-related, and somatoform disorders, and personality and behavior disorders in adulthood. That is, these diseases are not always obvious; they can be acquired by a person due to some life circumstances and do not appear immediately.

For example, a former soldier, fireman, policeman, driver, even an ambulance doctor may well end up in a terrible, stressful situation. And the person, as they say, “blows the roof off.”

But this does not manifest itself all the time, but at some moments, unpredictably - when he is nervous, drinks alcohol. Moreover, it may be quite adequate at the time of undergoing a medical examination, and the doctor simply will not notice anything. Moreover, this person may experience stress and subsequent illness after legally purchasing a weapon. And come, being already sick, for the subsequent renewal of a permit for a gun, carbine or pistol. And his permission will most likely be extended. Practice shows that doctors do not look particularly closely at people who have already owned something that shoots for at least five years. The logic is clear: well, since nothing happened during this time, the person is quite adequate.

Alas, there are dozens of cases where seemingly sane people suddenly opened fire on loved ones, neighbors, passers-by, and passing cars. Moreover, these shooters were not always drunk or on drugs. Having come to their senses, they often do not remember what happened - “suddenly something happened.”

By the way, police statistics carefully avoid this sensitive topic. There is a column for “illegal use of civilian weapons,” and there is a column for “use in case of necessary self-defense.” And there is simply “an accident”. Question: If a suddenly insane person opens fire with his own legally purchased gun, is it “illegal use” or an “accident”?

Interior Ministry analysts believe that the government decree is primarily aimed at tightening medical control over gun owners. It is no secret that acquiring the necessary medical certificate is not particularly difficult - we have a lot of private clinics at our service that have a licensed right to conduct specialized medical examinations. Apparently, the new government decree will entail a new mechanism for issuing such medical certificates. It is also possible that it may become more difficult to undergo an examination by a psychiatrist.

One point of the document is curious - weapons will not be given to people suffering from mental disorders and behavioral disorders associated with the use of psychoactive substances. That is, drug addicts and alcoholics. But there is a caveat: if they do not drink or use drugs for three years, they can be given a weapons permit. In general, at the discretion of the doctor and police officer.

By the way, our people, in fact, cannot be called unarmed. In the hands of 5 million people, there are over 6.2 million of a wide variety of guns in legal use. That is, for every 100 residents there are up to 9 firearms. However, this is not the most high rate, putting Russia only in 68th place in the world.

But this is fixable - the annual increase in the people's armament is five percent. It turns out that every year the Russians purchase about 300 thousand shooting units. The population also has a lot of traumatic weapons in their hands - 1,360,000 pistols. Sociological research showed that 56 respondents would like to purchase more than 2 units of guns, and 80 percent of owners of already 2 pistols are ready to buy a few more guns - for collection or sport shooting.

A third of all civilian weapons are registered in Moscow. There are 515,827 owners of civilian weapons registered in the capital. There are 627,920 trunks on hand. Every year Muscovites purchase about 40 thousand guns. In total, residents of the capital legally have 683 thousand shooting units in their hands - not every European army can boast of such a shooting arsenal.

The Russian government has expanded the list of diseases that prevent the ownership of civilian and service weapons. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated February 19, 2015 N 143 Moscow On approval of the list of diseases in the presence of which the possession of weapons is contraindicated, and on amendments to the Rules for the circulation of civilian and service weapons and cartridges for them on the territory of the Russian Federation comes into force from March 4, 2015.

The previous version of the rules for the circulation of weapons indicated that licenses for weapons are not issued, in particular, in the presence of chronic and protracted mental disorders with severe persistent or often exacerbating painful manifestations, as well as in patients with alcoholism, drug addiction or substance abuse.

The new one approved by the Cabinet specifies a specific list of such deviations: in particular, schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders, mood disorders ( affective disorders), neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders, personality and behavior disorders in adulthood, mental retardation.

• schizophrenia, mental retardation, split personality are quite easily diagnosed. But neurotic, stress-related, and somatoform disorders, and personality and behavioral disorders in adulthood - these diseases are not always obvious, they can be acquired by a person due to some life circumstances and do not appear immediately.

Also listed are substance use disorders. However, they are not a medical contraindication if there is a stable remission for at least three years, says the note to the relevant paragraph.

• that is, weapons will not be given to people suffering from mental disorders and behavioral disorders associated with the use of psychoactive substances - drug addicts and alcoholics. But there is a caveat: if they do not drink or use drugs for three years, they can be given a weapons permit. In general, at the discretion of the doctor and police officer.

Besides, the restriction for obtaining weapons, as before, will be eye diseases, reducing visual acuity below a certain limit. Thus, citizens who have diseases of the eye and its appendages, accompanied by a decrease in visual acuity below 0.5 by better eye and below 0.2 per worst eye, or below 0.7 in one eye in the absence of vision in the other, or in case of intolerance to correction (spectacles, contact) in two open eyes, as well as accompanied by a concentric narrowing of the field of vision of each eye to 20 degrees or less.

• As for the patients of the ophthalmologist, everything is simple: we are talking about people who see practically nothing - who have a 70 percent loss of vision; lenses and glasses do not help.

Analysts at the Ministry of Internal Affairs believe that the government decree is primarily aimed at tightening medical control over gun owners.
