Fyi...

He had it coming.He is also in trouble with the customs for importing a huge number of air rifles and pistols.A couple of hundred I believe.

An absolute case of a guy who discriminates the situation to his advantage. I think it's high time the authorities wake up, take care of such swindlers, and relax the rules so that a common person like me can buy my own Discovery with the harassment of unwanted people. Wishful thinking, maybe. But that again is only my view, right!!!

And how did this guy get 2 licenses for 9 guns????

And how did this guy get 2 licenses for 9 guns????

See http://indiansforguns.com/viewtopic.php ... 04&start=0 more specifically the following bit:

Competition shooters who have achieved the status of "renowned shot" are exempted from the above provisions, details of the relevant notifications pertaining to them (i.e. "renowned shots") can be found at http://www.nrai.in/notifications.html for further details.

The exemption is based on the no. of events someone qualifies in as a renown shot, subject to a maximum of 10 firearms allowed in all.

Cheers!

Did anyone notice a .22 rifle by Auswitz in that list? Some interesting guns he traded there.

Thanks Abhijeet for the info.

Badcheetah: What I posted was the trailer, you just posted the whole movie man. Amazing stuff.

And yes, Vikram 4 Auschwitz's there. Quite a list.

I thought Auschwitz was a concentration camp...
Never heard of Bruno or Smith and Wasson either...

[Sakobav]

Check out this trader joes other 'target' guns from Unique, Taurus, Ithaca, Erma, Browning, SW, Astra and Harrington!! He was simply trading guns makes it tougher for other genuine and less fortunate shooters.

This nuisance of "License" raj should go, so that we neither have these stupid/meaningless cases taking up time of honorable courts and people have right to keep and bear arms(and sell/buy them as per their requirement). Then there will be nothing like "renowned" and not so renowned shots. Maybe a wishful thinking or a pipe dream for me(living in a Free & Democratic Republic of India )

Hi MoA,

Auschwitz is a concentration camp. As for any brand of gun made of the same name, I am still doing research, will let you know once I have some info.

Bruno (seems to be typo error, courtesy court type-writers) is actually BRNO brand of rifles made by CZ-USA. Their site address is www.cz-usa.com.

Smith and Wasson also seems to be typo.

To be fair to Mr.Shah, the article mentioned is not entirely true. The fire arms (two rifles)he imported through proper channels (SAI)were for the big bore event which remained with him till his licenses were revoked. He loaned the rifles and ammo to big bore shooters during the events at a certain fees.(right or wrong?) He imported target air weapons on regular basis and sold them at a reasonable profit in the days when importing them was a mammoth head ache. All the other fire arms that have been mentioned in the news papers were bought locally from within Indian union and sold to license holders in Mumbai (with police permissions to buy/sell ???)and indeed they happened to be in large number. I along with quite a few others do have a bit of sympathy for this unbashful Mr.shah because though he indulged in arms trade which was not entirely legal, all the stuff that he imported and sold were meant for target shooting sport only. Poor blighter strongly believed he was fighting the guys who had monopolized the shooting sport in Mumbai by promoting shooters it in his own unique style with er... little perks.

m24: Surely you mean Anschutz.

I do know who Brno or Cz are... but not Bruno. Actually i do know a Bruno, an interesting person.

Anyhow back on topic, he hasnt broken any laws. If he made a few bucks good for him. Why shouldnt you be able to buy and sell guns to your hearts content?

BTW do not get caught up on the hype around Unique guns... they are certainly not worth the price you are paying for them. I do know the owner, and have been to their factory fairly often.
