Hi Afy, The Shirfort range is only a 10 metre airguns only range. In the days when I'd participate competitively, I used to shoot at the HH Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Ranges at Tughlaqabad - but haven't been there since about '95 or so... The ranges at Tuglaqabad are the only (open to public)...

Hi Pax, The pleasure is all mine :) I've been pointing several anti-gun women to your personal site for some time now. The articles there are well written and it really helps debunk the male only "macho" perception about guns (and gun ownership), that most people in India seem to suffer from...

Errr... I am very much a "he" ;) However the article I posted above has not been written by me, it was penned by a journalist by the name of Ms. Sharmila Ganesan. We (the other IFG members and I) were interviewed by her over the period of a week prior to her writing the piece... Hope this helps...

Slabsides - Yep, India has more than a billion people! However, allow me to point out that India is where the big game hunt was invented, unfortunately due to poor wildlife management (post-independence) we have lost most of our forest cover - to petty greed and political expedience! :fire...

Run&Shoot, Most welcome @ "good read" ;) It's an unpopular cause, the thing that really gets most of us is - even most gun owners one meets here are not for RKBA!! :O They of course almost always belong to the privileged classes and the concept of the masses having access to firearms...

Maddock, glad to hear you enjoyed reading that... and thanks for the kudos :) Cheers! Abhijeet

Yep! Mike you are right - she (the author is a woman) - was referring to firearm owners in general, and not to Cho's ethnicity. Honestly, we do consider this a pretty positive article down here! I would seriously doubt that ANY state in the USA could have as restrictive gun laws as India does...

Justin, Just posted the article at - http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=275985 Crunker1337 - I'll put the last sentence of your post down to naivete... there being a serious difference between the people who are typically going to illegally procure AK's from the black market AND a...

ARMED AND FRIENDLY [5 May, 2007 TIMES NEWS NETWORK] Plenty of loopholes in the writing, but a still a welcome break from the constant negative press gun owners keep getting in India. Cheers! Abhijeet

Guys once again thanks for the warm welcome! :) You might be interested to know that we got some positive media attention this (past) weekend - the newspaper article is online here - http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Cities/Mumbai/Armed_and_friendly/articleshow/msid-2005842,curpg-1.cms...

Thank you for the invite Elza, it is really quite gracious of you :) If any of you from THR make it down to New Delhi, do drop me a line... be glad to show you around and buy the beers... MD_Willington, you are quite right on the eating rules ;) In fact in many Indian states, cow slaughter...

Thanks :) :D By all means... would welcome the opportunity to show him the light... ;) Cheers! Abhijeet

Thank you all for the welcome :) ArfinGreebly, I have indeed been to THR on and off... but never did get around to registering. Did so today when I found several hits (on my personal website) coming from this thread - vanity is a terrible thing! :D J/k, saw some interest here on the situation...

Gentlemen, Thank you for showing your solidarity with fellow gun owners in India :) The pro-gun movement is still in it's infancy here, but we are hoping to build it into a stronger and more politically active movement, the goal is to eventually have RKBA written into our constitution...
