In the Nigeria of today: it is better you have it but don't need it; than you need it and don't have it. Firearms that can be licensed in Nigeria are shotguns (semi-automatic or manual pump actions) or single/double barrelled 12-guage cartridge weapons...basically for the purpose of hunting...NOT self defense. Ensure to follow and provide all legal requirements; understanding the dos and don'ts...then you're good to go. Nobody will issue a license for pistols or assault rifles in Nigeria. Those are completely illegal if found on a civilian. I hope this helps. 6 Likes |

Hedonini:A man got the license to own a gun last year in my area, he didn’t get any, you know why? He replied that if people should know he owns a gun in the community, he will be the first target for any attack in the community, he said ROBBERS will silence him first before they start their operations proper. He also said “GUNS gives unnecessary Confidence that can leas you to your death” 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Owning A Legal Firearm In Nigeria: My Experience by AerialMapper: 7:40pm On Mar 16, 2021 |
With the right contacts, you can get one within a week. I obtained my license and a semi-automatic shotgun. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get anything better than the Turkish guns but it is really nice to have as a home security firearm. I have learned to strip it down, clean it and put it together even though I haven’t fired it in 3 years 1 Like |

Extremefiles: The Banelli M4 is a nice semiautomatic shotgun, how much did you purchase yours? |

[quote author=Hedonini post=99941733][ Saiga 12.....I don learn new one. But even that one no reach, when we're talking about one guy against multiple AK-47 bearing bastards. As for home invasion, I think it is still better to be unarmed at all than to have a stupid shotgun against multiple invaders bearing AK-47s. You'll most likely display bravado and still be shot dead. Better to engage them with tact/charm and pseudo-surrender than to form shakabula and then get massacred. But with a very good, very portable, very flexible, very hideable pistol, I think I stand a better chance against home invaders than a big for nothing pump action. So I ask, can I legally acquire a pistol in Nigeria? [/quote if you are not law enforcement, only Mr president can give you permission to carry a pistol legally. |

Extremefiles: So with your licence, can you own a Glock pistol? And what type of weapons are you restricted to? |
Re: Owning A Legal Firearm In Nigeria: My Experience by Extremefiles(m): 8:06pm On Mar 16, 2021 |
valirex:concealables are illegal. Civilians are not allowed to own pistols so no I can't own a pistol with my license |

Re: Owning A Legal Firearm In Nigeria: My Experience by chronique(m): 8:41pm On Mar 16, 2021 |
I don't think licenses are currently being issued for firearms again. I remember talking to my friends in the force about helping me out couple of years ago and was told the IG asked them to stop issuing license to people and those who ahd the arms were asked to return it to the police. I'm not sure if that order is still in place or if it has been relaxed though. I actually would love to get one for my personal safety and protection. 1 Like |

Ladycewhy:This is Nigeria all the process stuff is crap. It's easier when you know some one in the police force, that you can pay to guide you. Though you still have to meet the being a responsible citizen criteria. Presently I think it's more difficult but its not something that is not achieveable |
