Dear Gun Gurus,

Hope you all are safe!

I have just been made redundant by my company and moving back to India for good from UAE . I have with me a Diana Magnum 350 classic and Hatsan Hydra QE both of .22 caliber which I had legally purchased here in Dubai .
Can I bring it to India legally
Should I send it through my other house hold goods and declare it or
carry it along with me onboard whilst flying back to India ?
Your experience and advise solicitated .

Shoot safe !

Thanks for the information , am willing to apply for an arm licence. Can I bring it and apply or do I have to have it before I bring it ?
Many thanks in advance
Stay safe !

Before it sir , my advice is don’t bring it here why take so much trouble for a air gun which is technically not even a real gun . You will have more time wasted and money spent in which you can buy a new one here .

i dont think buying here is a possibility legally... but sure there are a lot of .22 in the market
