  4. THE FIREARM ACT IN ANTIGUA The manufacturing country Serial number Model Calibre of the firearm Apart from this there are no other laws or statute when comes to marking firearms in Antigua and Barbuda

  5. REQUIREMENTS We as law enforcement officers in Antigua and Barbuda believe that there should be statute in place or the laws be amended that requires every firearm dealer and law enforcement agencies in Antigua and Barbuda to include; Army, Police Office of National Drug and Control Policy (ONDCP) All shooting clubs

  6. REQUIREMENTS CONT’D Should have a peculiar mark which will allow the Police to trace the firearm in locally regionally and internationally in case of any eventualities . For example the Antigua Police Force firearm should be marked

  7. Recommended markings For example the Antigua Police Force firearm should be marked, ANU-POL-1 and the number should continue Army: ANU- ARMY- 1 Firearm Dealer: initials- ANU- 1 Shooting Clubs: Sharp Shooters- ANU-1 These markings should be on the frame of the firearm and also the bolt in case of interchanging of bolts.

  8. background In Antigua and Barbuda there a proliferation of guns on the street. Among them there are modified flare guns ( as shown in photo on slide), home made shot guns

  10. conclusion In Antigua and Barbuda we are face with a number of gun crimes. participating in this seminar would aid in increasing our knowledge within the field of firearm markings. One of our major challenge is the flare gun where all contained the same model number which makes it difficult for identification. So marking these flare guns will be a great help to us. This seminar is a timely one and invaluable to our police force and the region on a whole.
