I am Benny Singh from Barrackpore, West Bengal. My hobbies are - Fishing, Movies, Outdoors, Games, travelling, Cooking, Politics and of course Shooting guns. I am 25 years old and an Entrepreneur by profession. I would like to own a .22 Sporting Rifle someday because of my love for guns. I know that you can't get one without valid reasons, but I want advice for getting a Rifle, from all seniors here. Thank you for your time.
Cheers!
Benny

Re: Hi all!
Welcome aboard. Join a rifle club, practice, try to participate in a few state level competitions. A firearm license is in no way guaranteed with this method but definitely improves your chances.

Re: Hi all!
Hello Benny..
I would suggest you to join the Serampore Rifle Club. It's very near to your location. And you can shoot .22 Brno here at the club. The club also has a great AirRifle range as well.
Would suggest you to visit the club on a Sunday to get registered.
I am also a member of SRC. So, if you need any more info I would be more than happy to provide it to you.

Re: Hi all!
Another thing is that I am a left handed shooter and I think all the club rifles are right handed ones, am I right? That is why I wanted to get arms license because I would need a left handed rifle to shoot properly and I think the gun shops will not sell me one without license. So what should I do to?

Re: Hi all!
Hello Benny..
Yes, the rifles in the club are RH. But, in order for you to get a License you need to be active in the club for sometime. Other that that no club will give you an acknowledgment letter, since a letter will help you get the license quite easily, compared to the normal process without acknowledgement letter.
That's why I suggested you to get a membership & practice in the club for a while before applying.

But why would he lie? He said his name is Akash. But now he says that his name is Benny! Though the queries remain the same.

Re: Hi all!
No time or interest in analysing that. Thought that way cause of the manner and substantiality of questions. Maybe two different guys for all i knowsohampaul11 wrote:But why would he lie? He said his name is Akash. But now he says that his name is Benny! Though the queries remain the same.
