The problem of maintaining a high level of legal culture among persons who have a license to use weapons

Tsvetikova Tatiana Viktorovna

People who have a permit to store and carry weapons, primarily firearms, have recently caused increased concern among state authorities and society, since judicial statistics are increasingly recording cases related to their unauthorized use. At the same time, individual or mass victims are recorded among ordinary citizens who are not involved in the commission of offenses that can be qualified as dangerous or especially dangerous criminal acts. As a result, in their minds, legal culture gives way to legal nihilism, characteristic of the medieval state of "war of all against all". In order to prevent such changes in the personality of citizens who have weapons for domestic or professional needs, it is necessary to develop measures aimed not only at changing behavioral reactions, but also at a conscious level.
