<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->So is anyone aware of the gun laws in Bharat?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Person required reason to have gun, need permit, need some political power to get permit.
My uncle while cleaning is permitted rifle shot himself on his finger, he was doctor. What I recall they have to keep this incidence private, took treatment in his own house as whole family is of doctor. They were worried that Police will make fake case to take away permit from them. Law enforcement and Police makes difficult to have gun permit.
Another cousin of mine used gun to prevent armed robber in his house. He is also Doctor and retired from Army, he had to bribe Police and other people because they were slapping case against him.
One of my cousin bought gun in US and he had lot of problem getting custom clearance in Delhi airport. After bribing custom officer he was able to get clearance this is with permit.
In India, "desi katta" is popular, but after Kashmir terrorism, cheap Made in China pistols are in market. Pretty bad performance. I will suggest stay away from cheap guns, they can blast on you.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I believe that as aware Hindus we should all keep this in mind and be armed, Canada has very strict gun laws but I still plan to get a licensed handgun.

Before getting a gun, take training. They teach you how to handle gun and how to use it. I have taken training and initially practiced in indoor shooting range and later open air clay practice. It is must. Later you can decide whether to have gun near you. You need a mindset to use it also. I can tell you actual shooting is different than what you see in movies. In US having arms is your Right.
