Take the gun, why citizens in trauma?

The Village learned the owners travmatiki whether the gun gives a sense of security and eliminates the fear.

Shots of travmatiki heard in subway stations in Moscow traffic jams, in cafes and on the streets. Shoot adults and adolescents, sober and drunk to defend themselves and to attack. While politicians argue about the legalization of weapons, it seems, more and more citizens believe in the principle of "armed and travmoopasen." Especially for The Village Maria Maximova travmatiki talk to the owner about the gun gives you a sense of security or, conversely, generates aggression.

1. Weapons presented six years ago for my birthday. It is in the bag when coming home late, usually keeps it in the car.

2. Anastasia Mishina. 29 years, the model

I asked to give me a gun, because with him I feel safe. There was a situation in the evening when a man brazenly molested me in the center of Moscow, had to get a gun and scare. He is scared, and he retired. Nowadays, women must be strong and able to stand up for themselves. Weapons gives confidence in relationships with the opposite sex, especially beautiful women, because they are more men pay attention. But not all men like a failure, and therefore have to somehow defend themselves.

More was on the road situation when a man cut in front of my car, and then brazenly behaved on the road, trying in every way to show who he was and who I am. And in a traffic jam even ran out and began to threaten and insult, but when I pulled out a pistol and began to threaten him, he ran back, got into his car and went with frightened eyes.

I'm pretty balanced person, and before a gun several times think. Shoot, I would become only in that situation, if I had tried to kill in the first place, I would have tried to resolve the conflict, threaten, but no more. Another very important not to keep weapons at home, if there are children. I have a little daughter, and I will never allow myself to bring and leave the gun at home in a safe place. No wonder many terrible events in Europe and America, where children gets weapons.




3. Evgeny roll. 25 years old, lawyer

I bought a weapon in 19 years. Then I worked as a deputy of the State Duma Nikolai Kuryanovich team, we worked on the draft law on the legalization of handguns. Then I was faced with the theme of weapons is very tight, and since then consider myself to people who believe that legalization in Russia - it is a necessary measure to increase the level of responsibility of society. With traumatic weapons with them, I feel more secure. I am convinced that it is only necessary to carry arms for the sake of one possible case when it could save your life or the lives of loved ones.

For six years I have gun ownership only once participated in a citizen's arrest. Me and my friend had to disarm drunken citizen, while his traumatic weapons took my friend: shot in the air and pointing a gun at the drunk. He lay down on the asphalt, and we called the police. Also, once I had to drive out of the train by a gang of gypsies who molested in a half-empty train to young people.

But if I ever used it and shot the man, most likely, he would have been condemned. The practice of self-defense in the Russian courts depressing. The people who protect themselves and their loved ones, condemned for exceeding the limits of necessary self-defense. I feel responsible for the wearing of traumatic weapons as much as I feel all their civic responsibility, its indifferent to what is happening around. In this example, I will never allow myself to having a gun, drink alcoholic beverages. Possession of weapon disciplines.

His gun I use to teach my friends to shoot. We organize shooting on vacant lots and train. After all, even the service of the Russian armed forces who managed to shoot rare. And every man must know how to use weapons. And one of the tenets of our values ​​states that a free civil society - is an armed society. A strong state can only be free citizens. These things are interrelated.



4. possession of weapons 6 years, during which time never had to use it. Is hidden in a holster behind



5. Egor Efremov. 25 years old, manager of the bank

I only used the gun in self-defense when facing the street, so to speak, with misunderstandings and attempts to physical impact on me and my friends. But it did without injury. The most important factor of why I bought it - is at least some safety of life for themselves and loved ones. After all, I think everybody understands where and what city we live in, there may rob the middle of the Arbat. They can attack at the entrance, and can be as Yegor Sviridov, walking on the road, get to the provocation with the guests of the capital. That has to defend itself, as you can without expecting anyone.

Personally, I do not give any weapons superiority, and I believe that this is not worth boasting. And I find it funny and sad to see people who are sitting in a restaurant or cafe, a gun show at the people sitting on the shoulders with a holster or otherwise flaunt. Through just such a poseur and a pop up threads to tighten the turnover traumatic weapons. It also refers to the smart guy that shot when an accident: Well, you scratched the car, smashed, but it can be repaired, buy, and health and life can not be bought. The degree of hatred in the society reaches its climax, all angry at each other, but do not understand why, because a neighbor or someone else is to blame for the fact that he girl is beautiful or expensive car.



6. possession of weapons a year, usually wears it in a holster under his shirt or bag, several times applied



7. Nikita Murashkin. 23 years old, businessman

When the gun at me, I do not feel psychologically safer, just in my head a little bit different scenario action. Moreover, I do not feel any superiority over other people. Bully gun? This does not make sense: any weapon should be applied in secret from the enemy. If he knows that you have a gun or something else, he will be ready to repel the attack. The smaller the others may think that you are armed with, the better. In any case, I understand that I will use a gun only when no other adequate means of escape.

Actually, I worry that I have a weapon that can kill. Therefore, I never give your friends to shoot, do not leave the gun in the glove compartment in the car. Only safe and under my control. To resolve any disputes I never involve weapons. Guided by the rules that the best weapon - a private head. I am totally against the free sale of weapons. The current system for obtaining licenses OOP I like, I think it kind of filter from people who want to buy a gun, "be cool", but do not understand the liability arising in possession of such a thing. Inquiries by the psychiatrist and the psychiatrist like a tightened, I am personally adequately checked, and I'm glad. I not wish that the gun went to some psychopath who quietly buy it.

Reflections that criminals have weapons, and so it is, and citizens need to defend themselves from these criminals, insolvent. Ordinary people are increasingly faced with street punks, but when this is the universal legalization punks still buy a gun and would use it first.

Weapon is a little more than a year, always in the hidden holster, shot only in the dash.



8. Polina Petrova. 22 years old, civil servant

The acquisition was due to the location of my residence - is known for criminal chronicles the area Vykhino. Here it is always better to turn around. And in general, it is best to intimidate the shot than to pull a knife or pepper spray, which I do know how to use only in the kitchen. But in fact protected as much as possible as I can, of course, I do not feel I am the same girl, and situations in life can arise different.

Gun rescued more than once. The first story was almost as soon as I got the barrel. Just go cycling. Day in the middle of an empty park flew crazy homeless dogs, and I think if it were not in trauma, fear the one we would not have got off. And a couple of shots of my friend in the air - the gun was in his - and we are saved from the bites and other unfortunate consequences.

He helps out in other situations. It was and fights and just the threat. There were a couple of cases when without it all could have ended far happy ending. I am a balanced person, without any mental, like, deviations, and try to solve all conflicts through diplomacy. So I do not even think about the fact that my house is a weapon, and certainly sure that in the direction of a person, it never fired.



9. Has weapons six months, takes with him if there is a late walk, do not just have to apply



10. Sergey Mamonov. 40 years old, chief specialist in "Rechflot»

The first time the acquisition of weapons of self-defense, I thought, in April 2011. I then worked in the Moscow City Court jury was resonant murder case of lawyer Markelov and journalist Baburova. At some point, my phone began to receive strange SMS, and right-wing sites directly indicates that I need to make two extra holes in his head. I reported this to the court, and the trial I was given protection. But after the end of the process, they would not have me go. In about a month, is to issue a license and registered weapons, I felt very uncomfortable. I tried to come home from work before dark, driving a taxi. After I became a rightful owner of the gun, I had some inner confidence. Over time, the gun was the same attributes as a briefcase and mobile phone.

Bully weapon in the full sense of the word I never had, but a few times on my side was a certain bravado. During a business trip to Nizhny Novgorod have the driver cut in front of a local: machines with Moscow numbers on the periphery do not like. Cropped at the crossroads of time, then the other. Then I broke down and just pulled out a gun and put it pointedly on the panel. After that, all the cropping ended, and the driver tried as quickly as possible to break away from us. Generally, I try not to shine your trunk. I have always adhered to the principle that any conflict can be resolved with words. A friend of mine, when I bought the gun, said, "If you got it - shoot. There is nothing as bad in movies, talk talk. " That is thanks to this parting, I never use the barrel disassembly.

When I go on the subway, especially in the summer, I feel like the people around me dissolves. Even with a gun holster covering jacket or windbreaker, will not help it shine. I feel a responsibility to society, so for me it's not that other, as yet another guard. Even a drunken idiot, I will try to negotiate. But if by them openly threatening action will follow, only, perhaps, to use weapons. And the first shot into the air, and then to lose. More, I think, need to tighten the system of authorization. I will not hide that I myself bought a certificate on arms for a very reasonable price in one of the medical centers on Tverskoy Boulevard. Something about 1 000 and 20 minutes of time. At the same time with me, I did not require any certificates.
