That was my question. As per the arms rule clause
62...If a person who holds a licence in Form III changes his
place of residence, permanently, or temporarily for more
than thirty consecutive days, and carries with him the
weapon covered by the licence, to a place, other than
indicated in column 2 of the licence, he shall, 2[within
thirty days of such change], send intimation about such
change to the licensing authority of the place of his new
residence as well as to the authority which granted the
licence or last renewed it, as the case may be; and shall on
demand, forthwith produce the licence and the weapon to
the first mentioned licensing authority for making
necessary entry in the licence to indicate there in the
particulars of the new residence of the licensee.

has been superseded with

With the Rule 3A. A licensee having an arms license valid throughout India, who carries the licensed weapon or weapons to any place outside the State where he normally resides, shall, within 48 hours of his arrival at such place, intimate in writing to the officer in charge of the police station or the Superintendent of Police having jurisdiction over that place the fact of his arrival at that place and the particulars of any such weapon.

I do understand when I travel outside my state for more than 48 hours I need to notify the nearest police station. What if I travel with in the state say Bangalore to Mysore. Does the arms rule clause 62 still or hold good for 30 days of stay ofcourse
