the right to bear arms

[zoom rader]

it still lies in the decision of whoever the commissioner is
is she admitting that she will issue a directive for them to expedite?

His decision will be challenged in courts

I encourage citizens not to take any BS

Clean COC and a safe at home … I have that. What else I need ? Wife willing to give me the ok

Clean COC and a safe at home … I have that. What else I need ? Wife willing to give me the ok

Cops will ask to see your place, no fixed requirements but fenced property, cameras, lighting etc gives an impression of security. Then there's the mandatory medical, vision and psych evaluation.
They'll of course ask why you want the firearm and this is your time to impress. If you have been a victim of home invasion and have police report receipts, footage etc present this. For hunting or pest control have proof of same e.g hunting permits or land deed.
It's just like a job interview where you have to sell yourself and then they make a recommendation based on their findings which is sent to the COP.
Wait a couple weeks and see what ammendements they're making to the laws and then apply based on same but get your COC and forms 1 and 16 in the meantime (must get those from govt printery in Caroni)

hmm so you have to already be a victim of home invasion or crime? i think i saw a news clip where they said a FUL was refused cuz someone wasn't a victim- that so foolish. cuz some ppl get rape and some didnt survive there 1st home invasion and they dead but only now they can qualify i hope UNC change dat policy.

We have had air rifles in Trinidad for generations and way more than firearms because it's automatically approved once you produce a coc

Today's air rifles are semi auto, more powerful, carry a higher shot count and offer more consistent power per shot. And we haven't had many mishaps with these, and they can probably be counted on one hand how many these has been over the last half century.

This is probably due to the fact that you can't carry a long gun to the bar or caura were alcohol is present and it's unwieldy to use in a road rage incident.
If the govt wants to allow citizens to have a home defense shotgun or low caliber rifle to be kept at home I see no issue in grafting it along the same lines as air rifles

Some newer air rifles could probably be tuned to be almost as powerful as a 22lr and real rich kids have those, again with no incident of misuse

Excellent post alfy, excellent.

I totally agree….the Air Rifles are perfect for home defense and there is also no need for too many Trinis to have firearms where alcohol is present and in cases of road rage where these Trini jackasses will want to pull gun and any and everything and further endanger the lives of the innocent.

Let the TTPS handle the stories on the outside, let the citizens handle their stories on the inside. There is no need for irresponsible citizens with a personal carry in public.

Jeezus crice no, too soon Tanty.

We have a sheit system in place that has not been revamped with a uncontrollable backlog with “files” all over the damn place.

Encouraging citizens to apply without a properly structured system in place will just cause further chaos and a ton of more paperwork added to the heap.

Do we have the staff to manage and accept the large volume of applications?

they have 1 office- should be an office in every location/division with the respective DCP having authority to grant FULs - so Firearms Act have to change.

Yep, should be.

So until they implement their process, they should have said to apply “soon”.

[pugboy]

that might be a recipe for bacchanal
when ppl say and hear they know this dcp tighter or laxer with granting and if he taking donation to pay he chirren school books

Getting hit with a .177 is a like jep sting.

Better a .25 slug be allowed in

[pugboy]

a 177 pellet won’t have knock down effect unfortunately
mind you a powerful pcp could make real noise
as loud or louder than a 9mm

[alfa]

When I mentioned small caliber rifles I was thinking along the lines of 22lr rim fire. But even in air rifles, allow citizens to own a .357 Benjamin bulldog and you'll see the effects

[MaxPower]

Empty the pellet!!

[pugboy]

the current air rifle laws are stupidest in the world
only allow .177 smoothbore
nobody makes smoothbore
so we get retrofitted crap
changing laws to rifled 22 would be good as you can get 22 in a wide range of weights

[sMASH]

Timelapse will be afraid to venture in public.
FUL's e'rywhere ....

[j.o.e]

So we just using the same system? This sounding like it guaranteed to fail and cause another backlog

[sMASH]

Some is better than none at all.
They said they formed a committee to address it.
Give it time.

Also , PNM is sheit

[mero]

Living with mums, works no where, draws no pay, on watch list and no fly list, wants FUL the most.

Delusional bad

[pugboy]

same setta cops or similar gonna be wukking there too…
those same cops gonna be grumbling amongst themselves about how kamala interfering with the process, can only speculate how they will do their job

So we just using the same system? This sounding like it guaranteed to fail and cause another backlog

[The_Honourable]

While I am glad Kams will revise the FUL process, i hope we don't have incidents with one person having five or more high powered guns

[pugboy]

i find allyuh sound real enthusiastic as though this is a sure thing

[alfa]

Hadda just wait and see what reforms they bringing but I highly doubt every applicant will be getting 9s.
Home defense long gun with a special fast tracked process would be my best guess.

Mums hadda do up a letter giving the okay too.

Hope mums chanting along with him to empty d clip.

Yep i am afraid as well.

Staying far from heavily populated areas with these irresponsible Trinis who want to pull gun for everything. Calling it from now….men willll jackass it.

I will be reporting anyone violating the laws and not practicing responsible ownership. TTPS cant stand it when citizens are armed so they will take that away in a heartbeat.

[alfa]

Max the beauty is that you could pull yuh iron too

[pugboy]

Max, it will only be like that at the start
but once everybody get a gun and it is no longer a status symbol things will boil down
it will only be a certain number of ppl rushing

Timelapse will be afraid to venture in public.
