Cooldude,

My suggestion is to drop using the word 'weapon' and instead use the word 'Double barrel shotgun'or 'shotgun'.

Mehul, as always, is very kind :oops:

Thanx guys for your valuable suggestions. So, penpusher, are you willig to draft a petition as suggested by Mehul? As suggested by you I shall replace the word weapon with the word Shotgun. I have also spoken to a friend of mine who is about to become the Bureau Chief of NDTV for Bihar and Jharkhand who in turn has spoken to someone at The Times of India, Delhi and NDTV Mumbai. Will keep you all posted regarding developments. I will be in Jaipur for the Masters Shooting Championships where my son is taking part in the junior category from the 25th to 28th of this month and will be leaving for Bihar for a week around the 1st of March. Should be back definitelyby 15th of March.

Arindam,

I'm going to be stuck indoors tomorrow and the day after as we have another powerful snowstorm coming. Will work on the petition and then when penpusher is free he could give us the final, legal touches. Let's see how this shapes up. I do think that at the very least, we shallg et more than a little attention.

Cheers!

Mehul. Considering that it is India, I am not very hopeful but would love to take it to it's logical conclusion, come whatever may. Cheers.

Guys. Tomorrow I am leaving for Jaipur for the "Masters" Shooting Championships in which the top shooters compete. Have managed to get a wild card entry for my son in the junior category. Wish him luck as he has already had a major setback in the National Games. I am carrying his cousin's weapon ***Edited by Mundaire***
