The same way people with Indian driving licenses are able to drive/ own foreign made cars!

If it has been legally imported into India, nothing preventing a license holder from purchasing it against the correct license...

Generally they are more than 30 years old when import of arms was banned in India.

Okay bro mundaire, if one can avail then which gun store do you recommend to buy from? I came across one gun store through googling name as VISHAL GUN HOUSE in Chandigarh where they sell foreign made pistols & rifles.
And to my amaze, also came across the news published that the owner had been arrested...

You are right, renowned shooters are importing weapons and can sell them after 5 years or after 3 years if they continue to be renowned shooters for 3 years.

According to the article that you posted, the shop is closed.
In which case, I'm sure that they aren't going to be selling anything to anyone for a while.

The tenor of your posts leads me to the following question:

Do you even have a valid arms license? If not, then you cannot buy any firearm.

Cheers!

This is what Section 15(1) of Arms Act 1959 says -
15. Duration and renewal of licence.-(1) A licence under section 3 shall, unless revoked earlier, continue in force for a period of three years from the date on which it is granted:

Provided that such a licence may be granted for a shorter period if the person by whom the licence is required so desires or if the licensing authority for reasons to be recorded in writing considers in any case that the licence should be granted for a shorter period.
The truth is now self evident.

Alexender, when you post a query and members here take the time and trouble to respond, don't be surprised if they are less than enthusiastic when they find out that you are merely leading them on with a truck full of the smelly stuff.

Whatever your queries, ask politely and be honest in your interactions here - else your stay here will be very brief.

Consider this an official warning from the moderator team.

GBM,

The poor fellow seems confused between an 'All India Validity' passport valid till 2025. and an 'All India Valid Arms License'.
In Gurgaon the passport and arms license booklet look quite similar including the blue colour. ROTFL
