The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has reminded licensed firearm holders that safeguarding their weapons when not in use is a priority, while warning that those found in breach of any firearm safety rules would have their weapons revoked.
The reminder from the police came just days after a teenager was fatally wounded with a licensed firearm.
In a statement issued on Friday, Guyana Police Force spokesman Assistant Commissioner Royston Andries-Junor said upon being granted a firearm licence, applicants are required to comply with the condition that they establish a “safe and secure” storage facility to keep the firearm and ammunition whenever they are not in use.
