“The weapons testing is held on Wednesday and ended on Friday at a target field of the district police station here that aims to test the level of efficiency and physical capability of the licensee in handling their respective firearms.

He said all tests went smoothly and all licensees rendered good cooperation with no untoward incidents occurred when the shooting test was implemented.
