The Association held its First Founding General Meeting at the MCA Auditorium, Colombo 07, with the participation of all thirty Founding Members. All formal proceedings were completed, including the adoption of the Constitution and the appointment of the Office Bearers.
A special meeting was held with the Secretary to the Ministry of Defence, Air Vice Marshal Sampath Thuyacontha (Retired), and the Additional Secretary (Civil Security and Development), Mrs. Indika Wijegunawardena, on the concerns of government licensed firearm holders, with emphasis on training, safety and legal responsibilities.
Licensed firearm holders completed the annual firearm training programme at the Special Task Force (STF) Camp in Katukurunda. The gathering that followed became the starting point of the Association.
