In Pakistan, civilians can legally own firearms, including pistols, rifles, and shotguns, provided they obtain a license. This licensing process is governed by provincial and federal laws and involves background checks. Certain military calibers like 9mm, 7.62x25 Tokarev, and .223 are permissible with a license. Ammunition is limited, typically between 100 to 200 rounds per authorization. Both open and concealed carry are allowed with a valid license.
