Rush to get introductions to VIPs at tea party

At the tea party in Parliament, there were some who were busy running around making introductions with those in influential positions of the Government. One such couple approached the Defence Secretary, Retired Major General Kamal Gunaratne inquiring on the procedure to obtain a licence to use a weapon for their personal safety.

The Secretary gave a brief introduction on the commonly used, handy weapons for personal usage. At one point, he stressed that "I would not recommend a revolver since it is a bit tricky." The lady and her male companion thanked him for the advice.
