Respected sir...

Getting a Gun License in India comes under the Arms Act of 1959. Civilians or citizens of India who want to own a gun are allowed to purchase only NPB guns ( Non- prohibited bore). This Act allows the civilians to get a gun license if they have a major threat towards their life.

But, how to prove the threat?

Proving threat is not a major task as it just needs the FIR ( first information report ) but, the process of obtaining Gun license in India is long.

How to get Gun License

The first step is to submit an application. One can get the application form from the district superintendent of the police of the particular state it is in.

After getting the application, the police will check if there are any past records of any kind of criminal activity and they will also check if the address given is authentic or not.

There are a lot of information gathered about the person who wants to obtain a gun, which also includes asking the people in the surrounding or neighborhood if they see any kind of malicious treatment or if they have seen the person getting involved in fights due to anger or burst out.

To determine if the person is mentally or physically ill or not, the DCP does an interview of the person who wants to get the gun license.

In the interview, the main question is- why do you need a gun? Self-defense is stated as one of the major reasons why most people in India wants a gun and it is accepted also. One can also ask for a gun license if he/she wants protection from the wild animals.

After the interview, the DCP sends the reports to both the criminal branch and the national crime record bureau.

If all these steps are fulfilled and the DCP is satisfied with the relevant information, a civilian can get a gun license after this.

Now, after getting the gun license, the customer obviously have to contact the dealer for the procurement of the gun. For this, the customer will have to book a pre-order to get the gun from any licensed shop of their choice....

Thanku

To be eligible to get an arms licence under the sports quota, you need to be a registered target shooter, which can be done by signing up with a local shooting club.

2)Issuing a licence is the prerogative of the state police or the district magistrate.

3) if you have a licence under the sports quota, and you are a “renowned shooter”, you can buy up to seven weapons — four related to the event the shooter specialises in, and three other weapons. Once a weapon has been purchased, it has to be entered into the licence book by the issuing authority, which is one way of keeping a check on its misuse

4)if your application is rejected file writ petition in HC to direct authorities to issue you arms licence

Firstly, make a representation to the concern authority to grant you the pistol.

Secondly, wait for one week.

Thirdly and Lastly, then move before the high court under the writ of Mandamus against the authority.

Good Luck...!

Can call me for further assistance.

Do you understand my problem ?
