We are the Licensed Gun Owners Welfare Association of Bangladesh (LGOWAB), established in 2026 — a community of licensed firearm owners who count themselves among the most disciplined and law-abiding members of society, and who treat lawful ownership as a profound commitment rather than a mere privilege.
Our Mission
LGOWAB was founded on a firm conviction: licensed firearm owners, held to the right standards, are a model of order and civic duty. Our core tenet is that possessing a firearm is not merely a privilege but a profound commitment — to public safety, to legal compliance, and to the highest standards of responsible citizenship.
Guided by our motto, Safety & Discipline (নিরাপত্তা ও শৃঙ্খলা), we work to uphold an environment where ethics and social responsibility are the primary benchmarks of ownership — and we invite all who share these values to join us in that mission.
Our Pillars
Everything LGOWAB does rests on five commitments:
- Uncompromising Legal Adherence — We operate with complete transparency and strict conformity to every regulatory framework, so our community stands as a model of respect for the rule of law.
- Comprehensive Educational Mandates — We give members rigorous, ongoing training in firearm safety so that every individual handles a weapon with the utmost caution and technical competence.
- Expert Guidance on Statutory Compliance — We serve as a trusted resource on national and local law, keeping members thoroughly informed about lawful use, secure storage, and mandatory maintenance requirements.
- The Pursuit of Ethical Stewardship — We cultivate deep personal accountability, expecting every member to act with the integrity and maturity that firearm ownership demands.
- Advancing Public Safety — By promoting standardized safety and legal practices, we actively contribute to the well-being of our communities and show that responsible ownership is a cornerstone of a secure society.
