In Russia, firearm ownership requires a license, with a minimum age of 18 (or 21 for specific firearms). Obtaining a license involves background checks, medical exams, and safety courses. Initially, only smoothbore firearms are permitted for five years, after which rifled barrel firearms can be acquired with a clean record. Handguns and revolvers are generally prohibited for most citizens. All firearms must be registered with the police, and secure storage in safes is mandatory. Carrying firearms in public is not allowed without specific authorization, except for certain less-lethal options.
