Applying for gun licence

saro1811 (Querist) 22 October 2017 This query is : Resolved
in our area there are many strays and they are unpredictable and often violent barking and chasing passing people vendors on cycles recently a milk vendor was chased early morning and he fell from his cycle and died due to accident of falling on nearby passing lorry . municipal authorities are not able to help much as they do not have any count of strays or how to manage. if a stray threatens -even if its not rabid or is neutered or vaccinated - to protect one's life from unpredictable carnivorous animal behavior can one apply for gun license so that the stray can be shot in self defense. In fact in my friend's village in kerala the menace is very bad and people, children routinely die also. neither authorities, nor so called hypocratic animal welfare ngo are bothered but everyone says that killing an animal is against the law

It is not a ground for issuance of gun licence, however, consult local licencing authority.

Not a legal query.

Question arises, have you applied for gun license and refused on what ground? If not applied so far, apply for the same to the concerned authorities. If permissible, you will get, otherwise refused with some reason quoted by the authorities.

Have continuous follow up with municipality authorities / district authorities for control of stray.

Can move to court for orders.
