Mi<\/span>nistry of interior issues arms licenses in Pakistan. It is the only authority that issues and regulates arms & ammunition matters. But recently NADRA and the interior department of Punjab, Sindh, and KPK have joined hands to bring a new system of governing arms license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under this new system, NADRA doesn’t issue new arms licenses rather it makes it easy for the general public to renew their old arms license.

This new system is named as Computerized Arms License System (CALS). It is also pertinent to note that getting a computerized arms license under this new developing system may take up to 12 months or even two years for just renewal of a license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason is certain difficulties as they are computerized after manual verification from concerned DCO the original issuer of arms license in Punjab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
