Personal safety: Businessmen can carry guns

Any law-enforcing agency that has any apprehensions over businessmen carrying licensed weapons should contact KCCI

KARACHI:
Businessmen with arms licenses need no permission to carry weapons for their safety, said the president of the Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Muhammad Saeed Shafiq, in a press statement on Wednesday. The statement made by Sindh IG Wajid Ali Durrani, that appeared in a section of the press, that they needed to obtain permission, was not acceptable. He said that the IG Sindh should instead ask dacoits and criminals to follow Section 144 and get permission to carry weapons. Any law-enforcing agency that has any apprehensions over businessmen carrying licensed weapons should contact the KCCI. press release
