I Quite agree with you sir. What I want to share my experience with you. My father also had a 2 guns on his license. I talk about this one of my police office friend at present he is ASP, In his words. Ye Nahi Ho sakta Batana parta hi ke kis use ke leia Chia Dusri gun inquery ho jatti hi bahut kuch haoota hi civilan ke leye weapon are impossible its (2 or 3 weapons) are only for Police offical/Defance preson those who in service a. when I heard his word I thought that ( may be I am wrong)Police offical are think that weapons are only for him civilian have not to carry the weapon( according to his openion). After that I contact with a License branch clerk and talked about this matter. He said me todays addition weapon are very hard to enter. Authorites are refused it. Bro when we face such type of thing by License Clerk/Police offical than what can we do. Is there anay specific Act/Notification/guidilance which help us to face this situation. If yes kindly mentioned /linked here. At present I am not willing to get a another weapon, but is just a query shake with my Police officer friend and a Lisence clerk.

Dr. JK sir,
I live in Australia, just claimed a TR & brought Browning 1910 with me.
I am eligible to claim another TR in 3 years. So planning ahead.

Why can't have 3 Glocks? Yes I have claimed TR & eligible again in next two years. 2 months already gone by.....
I will get normal mags for time being & get high capacity mags delivered at airport when I am taking firearm to India.
