Air gun law in Trinidad and Tobago

Q: Hi, are air guns illegal in Trinidad and Tobago? Do I need a license to own one?



A: The answer to both questions is, "it depends". According to the Firearms (Air weapons) Order made under s.2 of the Firearms Act 1970, as amended:

"For the purposes of the definition of “firearm” occurring in section 2 of the Firearms Act, it is hereby declared that a firearm does not include air weapons of or below .177 calibre, unless the barrel thereof is rifled."

Simply put, owning an air gun without a license is illegal if it is over .177 calibre.

Unfortunately ambiguous as with many of our laws. The question is do you really want the hassle of meeting police with one without a permit even though it's technically legal?

Like boss man hinted, interpretation of the law suiting your point of view doesn't matter. Most officers would seize the air rifle/arrest you for possession pending the rifle going to the armoury to determine it being rifled bore. Police operate on the concept tht spiral/rifled bore is wholly illegal but smooth bore needs a license.
The fact tht police and all other national security officers who can with permission carry home a pistol from work normal yet have to obtain a permit for a ful before aquiring says volumes. Unless you have funds and time to waste to lawyer up to get back your air rifle(the armoury sticks like everything else in t&t) and taking time off to go to court regularly isn't worth it when you can just get your permit in a few weeks. Providing you got a clean criminal record and can obtain a Coc.

[88sins]

Soooo, question, how hard is it to get a license for air rifles now?

Impossible, since all that was ever issued were permits

But I know a couple ppl that got theirs recently, within the last month. Last fella collected his about 2 weeks ago.
