But,NFL Jerseys China, they want a firearm licence…”The minister explained that there will be other criteria. “…good behavior within the mining sector and that means plenty. If we get information from the Divisional Commander or from police officers that these (applicants) are not persons who have been behaving well in communities, they are not going to be granted licences,” Ramjattan declared.The minister said that a number of persons who are licenced firearm holders have left the mining sector but still continue to bear arms.This, the Minister believes should not be the case and will be an area of focus for his Ministry.“We understand that a huge number of firearm licences have been granted to people who are undeserving. They indicated that some persons went into the mining industry and managed to get firearm licences. I will be reviewing these when their application for renewal comes up next year, because very many of them have left the industry. It is my opinion at this stage that those should be taken back if they (licence holders) are out of the industry.”On the issue of the enforcement of traffic laws in mining communities, the Minister said this is very important since the heavy trucks that are traversing the areas are constantly damaging the road ways. “We will be working with the Ministry of Public Infrastructure and the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC),Cheap NHL Adidas Jerseys, as to what were some of the rules and regulations or what we understand were road users agreements that they (miners) had signed on to, what are some of the terms and conditions so that we can start enforcing those.”With regard to the processing of work permits, Ramjattan used the opportunity to inform the members of the association that that responsibility no longer lies with the Ministry of Public Security but is now under the Ministry of Citizenry.The Ministry will also continue to do random sweeps in the interior to search for guns and drugs.
