You can obtain only some types of weapons in Russia. The all weapons which are permitted civilians by the government are useless self-defense things like pneumatic and traumatic guns, gas pistols, some sprays, some stun guns and so forth; hunters can also possess smoothbore guns and a rifles – the necessary condition of it is five years experience with a smoothbore gun.
Russians can carry weapons for self-defense if they have certificates, except sprays and some devices which are allowed to carry without any official permits – they are lousy things anyway and they can’t do any harm to somebody and stop anti-social individuals from harming you in reality.
Smoothbore gun and rifles cannot be carried for self-defense, only for hunting, although you are allowed to store these kinds of weapons at home and use it to protect your life from an armed attack. If you killed or injured somebody you must prove that the attacker had intended to kill or seriously harm you with deadly weapons. If you can’t do it a prison will wait for you.
Firearms aren’t legal in Russia. Combat knives and all sort of other arms are banned too, but you can carry kitchen knife
or survivor knives with special manufacturer certificates. Even button is an illegal device in Russia – if it’s found that a citizen carries it or utilizes it he or she will have a chance to become a prisoner.
The authorities are afraid of citizens with weapons as they can defeat them and clean up the country from the thieves and morally depraved animals. But they are mistaken, Russians wouldn’t fight against the regime, as the people in power live in one world, others live in another. They’re like chalk and cheese, those two.
