Looks great in a news article, but the law there is so damned corrupt, legislation means nothing when it comes to protecting both the citizens and their individual rights. I suspect that the permits will be just like Los Angeles CCL's: for the rich & influential only. Or let's say some МВД thug stops someone who's conceal-carrying (maybe he gets lucky, or maybe he sees a print) and asks to see the carry permit. "Oh see, this one is no good, because look I just tore it in half" and then he confiscates the weapon to add to his personal collection.

Sorry to sound so cynical, but Russia is just so thugtastic and sh*t*y.
