yes anyone can buy a gun with a licence

It is not easy,you have to follow some procedure, In India, you are entitled to fire arms then you will have to convince police that either you have threat to life or to protect yourself from wild animals.

Enquire with your district Superintendent of police for application. You will be interviewed by DM or SP and they will decide whether licence should be given to you.After getting license you can buy the gun.

On receiving the application, the licensing department of local Police checks if the applicant has a past criminal record and verifies address

Neighbours are questioned whether the applicant gets involved in brawls and arguments in the neighbourhood frequently

The applicant is then called for an interview with DCP to determine if he is mentally, physically sound He should also have a 'valid' reason for wanting to own a gun. Self-defence is counted as one of the reasons

The licensing department also sends the applicant's details to the crime record office of the crime branch as well as the national crime record bureau

The applicant is then called for an interview with the DCP licensing

If he clears all the above steps, he is granted a licence

yes you need it for self defence for personal safety . you have to convince police regarding your need for licence
