I presumed that the gun in question was in Gujarat.

It is. The OP wants to import it into the US from India, which is highly unlikely to happen given the bureaucratic hurdles on both ends.

Vikram, I gathered that he intended to have the gun in question transferred to himself, and then try to get the gun out of India and to the USA.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the situation.

I too gathered the same, Tim.

 Hi,

My father has a licensed. 38 colt from the time of my great grandfather who was a cop. My father is a doctor and he has been told the gujarat license cannot be moved to his son's because it is a restricted bore.
What options do we have? Someone told him he can write to home ministry?? I live in the US where gun ownership is relatively easy. Is there a way for him to transfer to me?

Thanks!
Even if you get permission letter from Home Ministry of India, you will need to get an import permit from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in the US. You will need to fill out ATF Form 6NIA and submit it electronically through the Automated Export System (AES). You will also need to provide a copy of the permission letter from the Home Ministry of India.
