Thanks Doc. Today I went and deposited my weapons with a dealer friend. Just didn't want my family to face the cops as I will be travel extensively before and during the elections. But I will watch this thread everyday.

Its a victory. Now what about those who are not members of the NRAI.
And those who are members of state rifle associations.
And those who are only members of registered clubs which are directly affiliated to state rifle associations.

The fight has to be taken further.

But we have won round one.

I believe the order says members "The sportsmen being the members of National Rifle Association of India at different levels".............. " members of National Rifle
Association of India (N.R.A.I.) at different levels, wherein it means members of XYZ State Rifle Association, are also exempt from depositing their firearms during elections. "

Farook I appreciate your optimism but cannot share it.
Having observed the country's administrative machinery from THIS close, and still doing it everyday, I can only wish you luck in your endeavor to explain to your local police station what is the NRAI and how every XYZ club in the country is linked to it and this is what the EC's letter describes as "at different levels."

The EC gave this order because the NRAI moved it. But bureaucrats, or should I say public servants who are paid by the tax payer, know very well how to play with 1000 words and yet get away without making any commitment or a promise that has far reaching consequences.

Those words "at different levels" mean little, if you ask me.

Please forward these orders to your state/ district level rifle association. They would send a copy of it to the Director General of Police of the state who in turn would forward it to each city's police commissioner
I do agree the police is not well informed, but they cannot ignore a order from the election commission when it's on paper in front of them..

.... I do agree the police is not well informed, but they cannot ignore a order from the election commission when it's on paper in front of them..

IMHO, the police is quite well informed! But if you are not well informed regarding a given situation, they may not oblige you with the information.
It is for you to go through the motions of "informing" them about your credentials as a member of a shooting association, and that shooting associations are exempt under such and such notification/ order/ circular etc. And this may have to be repeated each time an election comes up!

In this day and age of computers and the internet, is it so difficult to find out if a person is really a member of such an association, and then once that is established is it so difficult to keep it on record and therefore not bother that person at every election, instead of making him go through this process of having him "inform" them that he is such and such?

But that is exactly what goes on, this is India!

Doctor, Suggest you deposit your weapons until the courts verdict. That's what I have done.
