Dear Client,
The concept of a Gun License in India comes under the Arms Act of 1959. This act has a provision that allows civilians to get the authority to have a gun license in case they have a major threat to their life. One can avail gun license form from the District Superintendent of Police. One can also apply for a gun license online. Once police receive your application, your address is verified, and they also check your past criminal records. Police investigate your nature and behavior from neighbors. The investigation includes cross-checking with the people of society whether you were found involved in some fights or revealed your hyper-sensitive nature during arguments. The District Superintendent of Police also takes interviews with the person applying for a Gun license. The interview report is sent to both the crime branch and the National Crime Record Bureau. When all steps are completed, and DCP is satisfied with relevant information, civilians get a green signal to get a gun license after this. Upon receipt of the Gun License, the customer obviously has to contact the dealer for the procurement of the gun. For this, the customer will have to book a pre-order to get the gun from any licensed shop of their choice. The following documents are required for getting a gun from the factory/dealer. 1) License issued with a valid date and place should be either in English or in Hindi, 2) a Photocopy of the Gun License, 3) a No Objection Certificate copy for the owner of the factory, and police authorities. 4) Transport license from the factory location. The gun is delivered to the customer after around two months of waiting, and in certain situations, it might take up to three months depending on the factory’s manufacturing system. Apart from the Gun License, you can also file a petition praying for an Order of Protection in the City Civil Court or District Court. A Protective Order is a civil court order that is designed to stop violent and harassing behavior and to protect you from the abuser whose attitude or behavior appears to be life-threatening. There are two types of Protective Orders available for you. 1. Emergency Order of Protection (Ex Parte Emergency Order of Protection) - The Petition for Protective Order must clearly show that an act of abuse or threatening has occurred, 2. Regular Order of Protection (Non-emergency). There are no fees for filing a Protective Order. You do not need an Advocate to file for a Protective Order. However, if you wish, you can hire the service of an Advocate to represent you suitably before the Court to obtain a protective order. At the Show Cause hearing, you have to show and prove by adducing substantial evidence why you need the Protective Order.
