Pran,

I hope you haven't been using that tone of voice at the cop shop because that will only make things more difficult, especially if it is recorded in your file.

what is the minimum time period one can apply after it has been rejected once
Haven't the foggiest but it would be pointless doing so whilst the same officer is around.

Mack The Knife, I've been polite to everybody at the Police station and the Commissioner's. I thanked the DCP for his time)spent talking to me) even after he rejected my application :roll:

There's no minimum time period AFAIK. You can reapply as soon as you get your rejection letter. But as others said, it would be pointless. Wait for a while or go in appeal to the home ministry.

Well, don't be. Pran's licence application has been kick started again - the DCP had a change of heart.

Hello
I have 3 licences. the Ist for a SBBL Shotgun got some 20 years ago, after which kept mself idle without seeking additional licences. changed my mind after becoming a close friend of the district magistrate (may his tribe increase). he ensured that i got the other 2 licences with the least fuss.

Do we have anybody from bombay with a gun license ?

Post by Bhargav » Wed Mar 05, 2008 11:28 pm

well i always had this question in mind, I don't know anybody who have a gun license and he/she is form bombay.
So do we have anybody on this forum who is from bombay and has a gun license ? :roll:

The reason i am asking this is coz i have always heard that its very difficult to acquire a gun license in bombay, you have to give a stern reason why you need a weapon .. blah blah blah .. so just wanted to know how was your experience in the process of acquiring the gun permit.

Thanks in advance.
