Hello dear all; A0A, I've been visiting PAKGUNS from quite a time. This is my first post. A brief introduction first ; I'm Ammar from rawalpindi. I am a gun enthusiast since my childhood, also got some exposure to firearms but still I don't have my own personal firearm which I'm eager to get.
Coming back to topic, I know there already are various threads addressing provincial arms licenses but still I posted this one as there is no comparison like stuff out there.
As I was going through the license relating threads to search as if there is something there for my present situation I have viewed somethings that are concerning me right now.
My situation is that I want a NPB license and both punjab & MOI licenses are closed. KPK & Baluchistan licenses are open, don't know about sindh. I have a friend who is currently in quetta and his bro-in-laws are army officers. He told me that if I want a license he can ask his bro in law. He called him infront of me and asked him. He(bro in law) after asking some same old questions like kya kary ga weapon rakh k etc responded positively and said no problem he can get your friend an all pakistan baluchistan license. After the call was over I shared my concerns with my friend about whether a non-resident of a province getting a license of that respective province through whatever contact is worth it ? He said that you have listened the whole conversation and that there is no problem in it.
After that I searched PakGuns to see if this sort of problem is addressed and I saw two things. People have got KPK licenses while they are not KPK residents. In a similar way I read about a fellow getting Baluchistan license and many other fellows were forbidding him about not carrying a weapon on that license, they were quoting the same thing that since he is not a resident of baluchistan having a BC license can land him into trouble.
Another contradiction which I saw was that some fellow asked that a dealer is asking for an xyz amout to get a KPK license. He was also concerned about legal complications, the answer he got was to pay the dealer, get the KPK card license and don't worry about himself not being the resident of kpk.
I tried to locate those threads and posts to show as a reference here but there are a lot of them to dig out. Unable to got them now maybe sometime again.
I'm so confused right now. Tell me what should I do? Should I proceed to BC license?
