In Mari El for nine months voluntarily surrendered 8 weapons

The total amount of remuneration paid to citizens under the regional program exceeded 60 thousand rubles.

According to the Center for Licensing and Permitting Work of Regardie, most often dangerous items are found when cleaning old households, outbuildings or during earthworks. Typical examples: a resident of the Mari-Turek district surrendered the gun left after the death of her husband, and another man found a gun at the bottom of a local pond.

Voluntary surrender releases a citizen from criminal and administrative liability, if other crimes were not committed from this weapon. The amount of payments depends on the type of find: for a smoothbore gun pay 6,000 rubles, for a rifled rifle - up to 10,000, for a homemade weapon or grenade - 4,000-5000 rubles, and for each cartridge - from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles.

The Ministry warns: for illegal possession of weapons threatens imprisonment for a term of three to five years and a fine of up to 80 000 rubles. To safely get rid of a dangerous find and receive payment, it is enough to contact the nearest unit of Regardie or the police for advice.
