If you are preparing to become a holder of civil weapons, you have a number of duties prescribed in the Law "On Arms". And one of them is the presence in your home of a gun safe, so that the weapon does not pass into the hands of intruders, nor does it cause injuries and deaths due to careless treatment. This is especially true in a house where children live.
Requirements for the safe for the gun
Regardless of what kind of weapons are present in your home, whether it is a gas, traumatic gun , the presence of a safe for its storage is mandatory.
The gun safe for the gun should not be located at the front door or in a prominent place. Exception - a secret closet in the hallway with doors, behind which a metal cabinet with weapons is hidden. In this case, the metal cabinet should not just stand there, but be bolted to a solid surface-the wall or to the wall of the cabinet, so that it can not be carried along with the weapon.
Also there are certain requirements for the very safe for storing the pistol. The thickness of the metal pistol cabinet should not be less than 1.2 mm. The quality and number of safe deposit boxes also affects the safety of weapons. The doors of the pistol cabinet can be equipped with one lock, whereas for the weapon one there must be at least two different secrets.
Good burglar resistant models are equipped with a central key or electronic lock, powered by a powerful three-way deadbolt locking mechanism. Such quality German locks are the safest and will never cause any complaints when checking your housing by the precinct. Also optimal is the presence in the safe of two locks - key and electronic.
As for the separate storage of the pistol and ammunition, there are no special regulations regarding civilians in the law. And yet, in order to avoid questions and quibbles, it is better to immediately take care of buying a safe with a tracer for separate storage of ammunition.
