Hello from Las Vegas -USA
Hello. I was just curious about gun laws in other countries and I found this forum. I’m glad to see you have better guns laws than in the UK. Keep fighting for your rights!

Hi stuto,
Welcome to IFG. Who says we have better gun laws than UK. On the contrary,we have worse gun ownership laws here in India. Thanks for the support, though.

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

May be you can say so in case of pistols/revolvers but when it comes to shotguns and rifle, we are not lucky as UK guys. Imagine 4 shotshells quota for a year.
Welcome to IFG, hope you have a nice stay here.

After further research I found a lot of information on UK gun laws but not very much on India’s. What are your gun laws?

if you say it can not be done, then you are right, for you, it can not be done.

Re: Hello from Las Vegas -USA
To cut the story short:
a) Subjective licensing (dependent on Licensing Authority / Police Authority)
b) Licensing on basis of Sports / threat perception / crop protection / Money handling
c) Limit of 3 firearms and quota on Ammo.
Do I say anything more.

You can have real handguns and way more importantly you can carry those handguns in public for self defense. In Englnd, Wales and Scotland neither can be done (unless under super rare circumstances).m24 wrote:Hi stuto,

Northern Ireland has better or similar laws than in India from what I understand (real handguns and concealed carry in public), but most of the UK is the crapper.
Believe it or not, even though in my US state of Maryland all the other gun laws are extremely lax compared to India's, the carry in public for personal protection here is so rare that India looks like heaven. India gun laws have many problems, but for some aspects you guys have it better than England and even some parts of the US.
So count your blessings and fight for the repeal or change of strict gun control laws at every turn because if you do not it will only get worse. You won't know you have something good until you lose it forever sometimes.

Hi Novus and welcome to the Forum.
We need to acquire liecence before we get the Fire Arm and these liecence are again provided (as you say) in super rare cases. Which means we are at the Mercy of Liecencing authority as m24 has mentioned Subjective Liecencing.
So i hope you understand that the guns are available either with Criminals who dont need any liecence or Maximum times with people having deep pockets or influence. Hence, for normal public to acquire the Liecence and Gun to carry it in Public for Slef Protection............. is ALIEN. Precisely for this reason, we mention the GUN Laws in UK are better than Inida.
Do keep on contributing your views.
