Indians For Guns

Hi,

I have recently purchased Commander mark-I 5.5 airpistol. I just wanted to ask if there is any problem if I carry it with me while travelling in metro and also train? I have searched a lot on the internet but have not got any definite answer.

Also would carrying a bill along would help.

In Delhi Metro - I don't think so. Last week I had specifically asked the security officer in Chandni Chowk's Metro station if a sports rifle can be carried or not if I declare it along with papers but he flatly refused.

In the second instance, the gun dealer in Chandni Chowk, Pt. Narsingh Dass & Sons, himself told me never to board a metro with air guns or pistols. Any gun shaped object in metal is not allowed, he said.

BTW, its because of this reason that I didn't buy an air gun last week. I didn't have the time or inclination to make a long trip by a DTC bus after buying the air rifle of my choice. However I'll try the bus route this weekend.

Dear mkgw4pu,

Why do you wish to carry an air pistol with you? Forget about the Metro rules for a while.

You can carry it in a concealed case if you practice shooting at ay rifle club. But no one uses Commander mark-I 5.5 air pistol at clubs. So the question still remains, why!

Thanks,
AT.

Because you can... It's about freedom... I am not advocating carrying it to intimidate some one or scare bad guys.. That's just asking for big trouble.. But why should one be restricted from carrying a licensed firearm or an airgun/ pistol which is anyway not lethal and requires no license?

indian air pistol is a big big waste.(you'll find out soon)
don't carry this pistol for self protection.
if metro rules donot allow guns then don't.catch a bus.(i doubt there are rules against carrying airguns.it is those ignorant arrogant bapus who make this stupid rules.they donot know the difference between an airgun and a firearm)
if you want to practice,your garage will do,you need not go to a rifle club.your pistol max range is 10 meters.
