> Russia Eases Gun-Licensing Rules
>
> In 2003, half a million Russians were issued gun licenses. But that number
> is expected to increase now that the country has eased its licensing
> rules, Itar-Tass reported Jan. 27.
>
> This month, the rules were amended to allow residents to get a gun permit
> by simply submitting a general medical certificate to a police station.
> Previously, the law required citizens to submit separate certificates from
> different doctors to a medical institution where they were registered or
> one authorized to issue gun licenses.

> “We believe that the previous rules envisaged too many formalities that
> took too much time,” said a representative for deputy chief of the
> security department, Gen. Leonid Vedenov, in the Interior Ministry.
