Family Heirloom Law

We all are oblivious to alot of information when it comes to the present day gun laws and what it entails to have a gun legally, whats the procedure, what are the minimum requirements etc. Our motto is to educate you in a crisp manner so that you dont have to go through endless paper trails and laws which, obviously, are too boring to sit through.

The first law that we would like to talk about in our today’s blog is the legendary Family Heirloom Law

About the Law

Transfer of PB/ NPB weapons of an existing licensee to his/her legal heir is allowed, if the licencee had held the weapon for a period of 25 years or more or the licensee has attained the age of 70 years or more. At present, the applications for transfer of licence in favour of son/ daughter/wife/husband, as per wish of the licensee during his life time, are considered under the scope of “legal heir” in family heirloom cases. After the death of the licensee, transfer of weapon in favour of son/daughter/wife/ husband is also considered subject to no objection from other legal heirs.

Family Heirloom Example

The Purdey gun manufacturing empire has a legacy so elite that it can proudly claim that not only is there almost no renowned monarch in Europe who has not been a Purdey customer. From King Edward VII to Nizams of Hyderabad and the rulers of Baroda, Udaipur, and Mysore, and the king of Nepal used these guns and have been passed on from one generation to another as a family heirloom. These heirlooms dont depreciate but their value only increases with time. The last record of these heirloom guns were found with Mukrram Jah, the 8th Nizam of Hyderabad and the last one indeed.
