It is indeed distressing to learn that your arms license application has been rejected on the basis of having to prove threat to your life first.
This is as a result of "Executive directives" issued by the Home Ministry to all licensing authorities in the country.
Even though security is a state subject, the centre has sent this directive in an advisory manner.
NAGRI was created to fight this menace.
These executive directives by the HM are bad in law and unconstitutional.
NAGRI successfully convinced the Parliamentary Standing Comittee on Home Affairs who roundly condemned these directives.
So, in other words, the reason your license application has been rejected is both unlawful and unconstitutional.
Unfortunately, even though there are more than a million law abiding gun owners in our country, NAGRI does not even have 2000 members to help fight this menace.
The next step is to take the matters up in the various courts of India, and, based on the opinions of learned law persons, we can win this.
This would require adequate representation (members) and adequate funds.
For example, if we were 100,000 members and each member would contribute Rs 20/-, we would be a powerful force in any court of law.
Meanwhile, we shall try whatever is possible to help you and other applicants in a similar position.

Dear Rahoul,
Pls refer to my post below:
http://www.indiansforguns.com/viewtopic ... 9&start=30
We are all united for this cause.
Pls let us know how can we lend our support financially in favor of NAGRI? Let NAGRI be one body fighting for RKBA rather than us trying to contribute to NRAI or any other associations.
All we need is guidance on how we can contribute to this cause. While the response for NAGRI forms may not have been as encouraging as it should have been, comrades here did try their best in spreading the word across. Even in that thread you may see how many comrades here have asked as to where should our contributions be sent, but there has been no direction there.
With all due respects sir, if 100000 MAY NOT be willing to contribute Rs 20/-, we still have atleast 1000 NAGRI members who MAYBE willing to contribute atleast Rs 2000/- towards this cause
All it requires is a calling a direction. Contributing financially is the least that I can do to show my prudence & support to this cause, if not time.
Looking forward to hearing from the torch-bearers on the way forward,
Cheers,
Rup
