Summary:
It’s considered a matter of honour to have a pistol or rifle at home.Chambal alone has over 80,000 licensed guns — almost as many as all of Bihar. Having a gun deposit receipt can save one a world of trouble if things go downhill and they are accused of shooting somebody, say sources. Morena gun owners are slower in handing over their prized possessions. And Bhind and Morena districts account for 63% of this civilian armoury. The Chambal ravines have a gun culture that dates back generations and firearms are very often prized heirlooms..
