Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted November 26, 2017 This is an image of my father's gun permit from Banaadir region in early 1960s. I really didn't even know that at one time guns were permitted legally. Unfortunately, the date and name was handwritten, thus the pen ink disappeared. However, I believe documents like this should be saved for historical purposes. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted November 26, 2017 I didn't know that either. I am assuming that stopped when Siyad Barre took over. Does one need carry permits in Canada? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted November 26, 2017 Yes, for hunting rifles and ancient pistols with permits. I don't think semi-automatic guns and the likes are allowed. I had been here since 1996, I have yet to see anyone with any kind of gun - except the police. Nor did I see any store selling it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maakhiri1 Posted November 27, 2017 2 hours ago, Holac said: After Siyad Barre came, everyone started having guns. The widespread dissemination of firearms started during 1977s war with Ethiopia, The civilians were armed,to defend or fight Ethiopians. I remember Baadiyaha almost everyone had AK47 in 80s, and when the police or government officials come, they hid somewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
