Pakistan Allows Semi-automatic Arms for Private Guards

 “Along with 9mm pistols and 12 bore shotguns, the private security companies can now arm their guards with 222, 223 and 7mm rifles. But these arms will be meant for only those personnel who are deployed at financial institutions like banks, diplomatic missions or sensitive installations, as well as those posted as guards of important personalities,” he added.
