You basically need to fill form A in SCHEDULE-III which basically is a form for applying arms license for individuals or you can go to your local court or district magistrate office , district superintendent of the police and buy the form it actually cost around 10-20 rupees
Once you submit your form they will do background check on you , check your pending case , ask your surrounding people.
Then you will be called for personal interview by DCP or the licensing authority to see if you are physically fit and mentally stable.
Main question generally is why on earth do you need a gun ? for the blank gun they will ask the same to you guys.
Here is what most of the people who buy for film shoot , TV show , photo shoot will say for their work, for other you need to prepare your answer why you need it , our advise is be very much honest about it.
I know it stupid that you need to license to keep a fake gun for hobby but then that what we call license Raj.
That how to apply for license and then obviously you can buy a gun.
we are trying to set up a team once we gets operational for helping people in licensing procedure but then 1st we need to be operational and functional and get our license.
Have fun share it as sharing is caring.
