Putin signs law allowing night vision scopes on civilian weapons
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law modernizing arms circulation. The law allows night vision scopes on civilian weapons and reduces the waiting period for a hunting rifle from 5 years to 3 years.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law allowing night vision scopes to be mounted on civilian and service weapons and modernizing arms circulation.
With the law published on the official legal regulations website, the previously prohibited mounting of night vision devices on civilian and service weapons has been permitted. The regulation is expected to facilitate the work of legal entities with special legal duties, particularly in combating unmanned aerial vehicles during dark hours.
The law reduces the hunting rifle ownership period required for the right to acquire a rifled weapon from 5 years to 3 years. Additionally, air guns with muzzle energy exceeding 25 Joules are permitted for hunting purposes; the purchase and use conditions for these weapons will be the same as for civilian hunting rifles.
In addition, those who hold a license for a smoothbore long-barreled weapon, as well as those with a permit to carry a prize rifled weapon or a sports rifled short-barreled weapon obtained in lieu of a prize, will also be able to purchase a rifled weapon.
The periodicity of health checks that constitute an obstacle to weapon ownership has also been clarified: the examination must be conducted at least once every five years from the date the medical report is issued.
State-affiliated paramilitary organizations have also been allowed to use weapons and ammunition that previously had to be destroyed for facility protection.
During the special military operation, for certain legal entities with special legal duties protecting the highest priority and critically important facilities, the requirements for weapons and ammunition storage rooms will not apply, provided these rooms are under 24-hour armed protection.
Depots that do not meet the standards set by the Russian government will need to be equipped with alarm systems connected to Rosgvardiya and have their structural elements reinforced from the inside in accordance with the established norms.
