The State Duma will consider a bill on the right of choosers to use small arms

Deputies of the State Duma (State Duma) will consider a bill granting specialized private security organizations (PSOs) the right to use small arms to protect critical infrastructure facilities. This was announced on January 31 by Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the House of Parliament.

According to him, the bill has already been sent to the Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, where it will be considered first.

"In particular, we are talking about enterprises of the fuel and energy complex. The structures responsible for ensuring their safety should have more opportunities," Volodin said, quoted on the website of the State Duma press service.

It is clarified that the document provides for the possibility of specialized private military companies to receive military small arms in the territorial bodies of the Russian Guard. Unlike current regulations that only allow the use of service weapons, this bill will give organizations more authority to ensure the safety of facilities.
