The bill (Reg. No. 3066) is aimed at fixing at legislative level legal and organizational basis regarding issue of a permit for the right to buy, keep, carry, transport and use specifically determined types of weapons, means of individual protection and active defence, industrial-purpose explosive materials and also the right to open and operate the objects of their storage or use.
