We also need to take another look at the way AL is granted to the Aspiring Shooter and the discrimination among competitive shooters based on their status in the community.

A comprehensive letter has been drafted and posted at http://indiansforguns.com/viewtopic.php ... 94#p230480

Since the message is too long for the text box in the above mentioned pgportal website, you can upload the entire message as an attachment, may write a short message in the text box stating that the proposed Arms Rules 2015 have been written with out due application of mind or care and attention and seriously offending the Constitution, directing to read the attachment for complete details. Since the proposed Arms Rules 2015 have been written with out due application of mind or care and attention and seriously offending the Constitution, there is no need to go ahead with them.

I don't think we are past the date. It is 30 days from date of publication. Even if it is past 30 days, there is no harm in sending the email and simultaneously lodging a grievance because it is seriously violating Constitutional provisions. The grievance will have to be addressed, such matter can never be a subject of 30 days limit.

I have posted my thoughts on the issue that I found discomforting. Hope it does not end up in their "spam". Have not received any reply - not even automated one. regs, A.

Anyone here logged complaint on pgportal & got reply? I got a mail notification now, saying this. I mentioned a concise of our suggestions about arms rules revisions in the description. Looks like a template reply.

I don't know how far this is true but a source informed yesterday that the Amendments have been drafted not by officials in the home ministry but by a chartered accountant handpicked by the government. He is a certain Mr Sharma (I am not mentioning the first name on purpose) who lives in Amritsar. He is also said to be a part time stock broker. Would be obliged if anybody in the forum who has inside knowledge about the drafting committee or who lives in Amritsar can verify this.
