Specially for you.
A detailed about gun laws of Pakistan.
There are two kinds of Arms Licenses issued in our country, i.e NPB and PB. NPB being non prohibitted bore and PB being prohibited bore..
Minimum age limit for any one to acquire a license to my understanding is 18 years
In NBP category on could get the following calibre weapons:
9mm, 0.45, 32, .30, 0.22, 12 gauge etc
An NPB bore license could be acquired from Ministry of Interior , Islamabad ( Our capital city). The applicant who acquires these MOI licenses, could travel with their weapons in a concealed manner all over Pakistan.
There is another issuing authority for NPB Licenses, i.e provincial licenses, which are issued by the provinical interior ministy/Home Department. However licenses issued by the provincial authorities are restriceted to travel with their weapon in that province only.
Now the PB category covers all sort of prohibted bore calibres , specially Auto rifles of following calibres, 222,223, 7.62 etc.
The PB liceses is very hard to acquire in our country and one has to go through maternity pains, to get one. This includes, detailed background checks, verification reports etc.
How to apply ?
Applications for arms licenses could be obatined from relevent web sites of the concerend ministries. One has to attach 4 passport size pictures, proof of residence and a copy of National Identity card.
In order to carry weapons, when there are high security alerts, the home department of every province issues special carry permits, issued for a period of 30,60 and 90 days.
The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose
