At one time, I was seriously determined to issue and receive a traumatic weapon. I thought that it happens with my family I go to all sorts of remote places, and sometimes it happens at night. And so he threw the gun into the glove compartment - everything is calmer. You never know where you go on foot, where there are no people. A crowd of gopniks will become attached to you, and you will fire once, twice into the air, and suddenly they think that they will roll off the battle pestle.
But then I started to read all sorts of stories, material and advice and my determination kept fading and fading away. Well, how do you like the last example with a special forces soldier in the suburbs? After all, he managed to get an injury, shoot in the air and … that's all. Nifiga it did not save him. This is a person who knows how to handle weapons. What can we say about amateurs.
In general, as you know, in the matter of self-defense in our country there are complete Achtungs. What a short barrel is there! Here you first need to seriously change the laws. Well, look …
In general, as they say, strong leg muscles and a good "breather" will help not only to protect yourself, but also eliminate any hints of problems with the law. Since otherwise there might be problems.
Many experts argue that the traumatic pistol is the worst self-defense tool ever invented. And that's why.
The “hit first” rule cannot be used with traumatic weapons. Before you get the weapon out of the holster (which, by the way, you still need to quickly get through your clothes), you should loudly warn the aggressors about the intention to use the weapon.
If the warnings do not work, you need to get your weapon, cock the trigger and fire a warning shot into the air. Psychologists and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs note that after this, the conflict most often ends, but the warning shot, of course, does not give an absolute guarantee. The procedure for using weapons in accordance with all the rules is especially important to carry out even in a city where almost every courtyard is studded with surveillance cameras. If everything is done correctly, there is a chance that after the criminals are immobilized and the police squad is called to the scene, the use of the PLO will not end with the presentation of charges under Part 1 of Art. 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - "Hooliganism with the use of weapons." True, it is also necessary to use the "rezinostrel" carefully - hitting a rubber bullet in the head can lead to brain injury, stroke and even death of the attacker, which for the owner of the weapon is most likelywill end with the presentation of charges under Art. 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - "Causing death by negligence."
It is important to understand that the joke “when they kill, then come” was invented for a reason - you can shoot at unarmed attackers only at the moment when they have already begun to beat you. The strangeness of the situation is emphasized by the fact that, according to legal norms, the reverse action, when the owner of the weapon shoots as if in anticipation, is considered an armed attack. If the attacker is armed with a knife or baseball bat, so popular with autocams, you can shoot only in case of a swing to strike. However, even lawyers cannot say how to "catch" this moment and not miss a knife blow to the throat and liver. At the same time, it is safest to shoot exclusively at the legs - hitting a rubber bullet in the chest or face during the consideration of the case both at the stage of the investigation and in court will be considered an aggravating circumstance.

Other actions also fall into the category of aggravating circumstances - for example, the desire to "finish off" offenders, who, in the opinion of the defender, are not sufficiently punished, is strictly prohibited. However, it is extremely difficult to take this circumstance into account, especially if we take into account the different tolerances in the production of ammunition and the physiological characteristics of the attackers. It is worth remembering another thing - alcohol and drugs greatly dull pain sensations and increase the pain threshold, which means that, most likely, to “calm down” such a person, you will have to shoot several times.
Here is a very good video on this topic:
What's the bottom line? With the current legislation in the field of defense, there is practically no chance, unless you consider the opinion that "it is better to go to jail than to die."
