If you want to purchase a weapon for your safety, personal use or any other reason then you will have to apply for an arms license from Ministry of Interior. The process for getting your license is easy but lengthy.
While applying for the license you will have to provide your recent photographs (at least 2), copy of your CNIC & certificate of profession or service. The application form for applying for the arm is available from the website of interior government.
Application Form:
In the application form you will have to provide these information for successfully receiving your license:
- Type of Weapon (Pistol, Revolver, Shotgun, Rifle, Klashnikov)
