Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar is encouraging law-abiding citizens to apply for their firearm users’ licences (FULs). She says her Government has also already begun to work on “Stand Your Ground” and anti-home invasion laws.
While campaigning before the April 28 General Election, the United National Congress (UNC) had indicated that the country’s existing self-defence laws were inadequate and it would address them to give citizens more protection against the criminal element.
At Thursday’s post-Cabinet news conference, the Prime Minister said the laws governing FULs were being assessed and encouraged citizens to apply to have and own legal firearms.
