.38 colt from my great grandfather

Post by nid15 » Wed Mar 22, 2023 12:28 pm

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!

You can get ‘Restricted bore’ license on the basis of inheritance category but the process is long and difficult one.

Even if you manage to get the licence ....getting ammunition for the gun would be very difficult not to mention very expensive.
