IFG - Dubai Chapter

[pistolero]

Hi,

Over a period of time I have noticed that there are several IFG members in Dubai.

I wanted to put forward the idea of starting a Dubai Chapter.

All IFG Members based in Dubai, if you could PM me we could look at setting up a first meeting.

I look forward to hearing from you all.

(Mod's is this the best way to start a chapter? are there any other procedures we should follow? Let us know if required)

Regards,
Aditya

I am not trying to discourage the idea but would like to mention that IFG is just a website and not an organization. Wouldn't it be better if chapters of NAGRI are started instead and IFG is used as a common online meeting place?

Dear Goodboy,

I fully support NAGRI, however as EXPATS, the IFG chapter is more of way of meeting like minded people in a foreign land.

Great idea pistolero,

I only wish we had thought of it when I was in the UAE from 1995-2011; I would have loved it, if it was a regular get together for people with similar interests - in this case guns. It is not really important under what banner it was /is conducted as long as it all above board, legal!

Again, a great idea!

Not trying to hijack the topic but was curious, what are the rules pertaining to firearms in Dubai? Especially when no foreign national can became a citizen there?

[ckkalyan]

Only UAE Nationals are allowed to allowed to own fire-arms; expatriates can only own certain air weapons like rifles and some hand guns; replica air, hand guns are banned.

What? So does that mean foreign nationals does not have right to self defense? Thats BS man, I would leave the country.
