A person who has in his possession more firearms than three at the commencement of the Arms (Amendment) Act, 1983, may retain with him __________ such firearms.

  • A.two
  • B.three
  • C.four
  • D.one

Answer: B

He may retain three such firearms.

The Arms (Amendment) Act, 1983 first limited the number of firearms a person could hold to three. Its transitional provision allowed a person who held more than three at its commencement to retain any three of them and required him to deposit the rest with the police or a licensed dealer.

The Arms (Amendment) Act, 2019 later reduced the limit to two, with a similar deposit requirement, but the question asks about the position under the 1983 amendment. One, two and four do not match that provision.
