Sri Lanka Police have issued a significant announcement for holders of life-saving firearm licenses, mandating a new inspection process. Effective from 2026, license holders must present their firearms to their nearest police station every six months after obtaining or renewing their license. This procedure is required to obtain a special certificate confirming the firearm's functionality and that its serial number matches the license details. The directive comes from the Defense Council, with the Inspector General of Police instructing all station chiefs to implement the new regulations.
