A Police Constable from Regional Division #2 (Pomeroon- Supenaam) has been placed under close arrest after an air pistol and ammunition were found in his car.
Police Headquarters reported that a search of the cop’s car was conducted on Friday at about 16:15 hrs when a black air pistol was found in the glove compartment.
Two live 9MM rounds of ammunition were subsequently found on the floor of the driver’s side of the vehicle and in the panel of the driver’s side door.
The officer, who is attached to the general section of the division, was told of the offence committed and escorted to Anna Regina Police Station, where he is assisting with the investigation.
You mean AIR PISTOL or an AIR RIFLE/GUN ( both use BB pellets) are illegal there, in Guyana ?
They may be Spring fired or gas fired.
What will happen if I travel there with either or both packed, declared in my checked suitcase ?
Will I be arrested ?
I used a Spring fired air rifle/gun as a 10 y.o. in British Guiana to shoot birds at the rice fields.
A now very famous friend of mine owned it and lent me…when we were kids.
They are sold in hunting/gun stores the US without hindrance and license not needed. Used for shooting rabbits, squirrel, iguanas.
