There are three easy steps to owning an airgun in Trinidad & Tobago:

1. Go to any police station with national ID (PP, DP or electoral ID) and apply for Certificate of Character. Time: 3 weeks. Cost: $50 and your finger prints.

(While this is in process, head down to the Firearms Unit on the 4th Floor, Police Admin on Sackville St, PoS. Get an Air Rifle application form).

2. When you get the CoC back, take it, along with the completed AR app form to Firearms Unit.
Time: 3 weeks. Cost: Free.

3. When you get the permission letter from the Commissioner. Buy your rifle, pellets and auxilliary equipment and supplies (scope, bag, cleaning kit, etc.)

Remember you are buying a shooting platform, not just a gun. So, take into account the cost of additional equipment, spare parts and maintenance. A good airgunsmith is invaluable, and T&T has a very short list of them. Maintain good OpSec by not bragging about your new acquisition to friends, relatives, neighbours. Go shooting with like-minded, more experienced airgunners, so you can learn.

Keep your gun secured in your home. The single best way to prevent children from playing with guns is to teach them to shoot safely in a relaxed safe environment. Pay a professional, if you’re unsure. Shooting is fun.

I would add to ADONIs complete list ...join a range-

STRA for example has a vibrant air rifle section-and there are competitive AR shooters there....very open and supportive....regular range days etc

Bullseye is a very good association to be with. Down to earth people, always willing to help members with whatever instruction you need as well as training and practice in safety practices & various disciplines & shooting positions. They treat their members really well. If looking to join an AG association in the north, Bullseye is a very good one to get into.

[pugboy]

Somebody should post a list of the dealers who can "assist"

I know for sure agostinis outright says they do not support bobol
They will submit the application for you for free, they did for me with no obligation to buy from them later.

That's why I always recommend people to them first. Wonderful people to do business with. Decent prices when compared to others too.

[dougla_boy]

Yup, went there the other day and checked out the cheapest, and it was like 2300 or so....a Hatsan .... 1000fps.... break barrel....good little starter I think

Good info . So how you go about getting an importer's permit?

[leelad]

I got mine by writing a letter in the same format as a regular air rifle application but instead of the line purchase and keep i wrote import and keep.

Honestly it's kinda pointless getting an import and keep, because all the rifles I've looked at had "spiral bore" rifled barrels and we're only allowed smooth bore rifles.

(Had my import n keep since 2010 no luck finding anything worthwhile to import)

[88sins]

DB, if it's one thing I love about Hatsans, if they say 1000 fps, that is what you get with actual lead pellets of a decent weight, not some super light weight alloy nonsense.

[dougla_boy]

Nice....go check allyuh back on the progress of meh application and actual purchasing of the rifle... I will however in the meantime, take a trip with those folks at Bullseye Association, and see what they have going on....

[pugboy]

agostinis has some deal where you get a discount if you are a member of bullseye

[88sins]

yup, very good assoc I tell yuh
And the usual after practice chill out is another story

[Redman]

No smooth bore and .177 no air rifle (in trinidad)

[sMASH]

FUL .

2300 isn't bad to start off with air rifle... Quite encouraging actually.

And seeing as people tend to upgrade after they get more experienced and knowledgeable, is there a format or location to get used basic equipment?


Would the process for getting an FUL for a more powerful large caliber rifled bore air rifle be easier than for a hand gun? Or the same break the bank, dust collecting , dig out ur eye system?

Same process for a large bore air rifle or a handgun.
