Indians For Guns

Hello everyone,

My father was the holder of two firearms. One. 32 revolver and one DDBL gun. Both weapons were held under two different licenses. He died last year. I am confused on how to apply for licence under family heirloom. I mean should I fill two different forms or only one would be enough to retain both weapons. Also can we spilt them among our family by applying for two licenses under family heirloom. One for revolver by me and one for dbbl by my mother? Really confused.. dont want to get into trouble in last.

1) One form per person applying for license. So if it is only you then you need to fill out only one form for both firearms.

The Delhi Police Licensing unit follows the following process:
(from: http://delhipolicelicensing.gov.in/Home/arms#section1 )

2) If you wish to distribute them amongst other legal heirs, you'll have to draft some kind of a property settled agreement between all legal heirs, signed by all claimants, wherein the two claimants get one firearm each as per everyones consensus.

Mr.Vikash, first get basic legal docoments like Death,and legal heir certificates ,ask your sibilngs if any one is interested in your dads firearms, if nobody objects, get a "" No objection certificate "' from them and apply for both the weapons in one single application. if any of your siblings is choosy about any of the two, both can apply simultaneously and get the firearm licences and entry your family weapons in them.
