(2) Where a person is charged with an offence under sub- section (1), it will be a defence for him to adduce evidence to show that the firearm was carried in the case of extreme necessity. CAP. 230. (3) For the purpose of this section, the words “drugs”, and “prescribed limit” shall have the meaning assigned to each of them by section 74G of the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Act. CAP. 230. (4) The provisions of sections 74C and 74E(3) and (4) of the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Act shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the provision of a specimen of blood or urine for a laboratory test under this section by an accused person to determine the proportion of any drug or alcohol in a specimen of blood or urine provided by the accused person. 43. The Minister may, on the recommendations of the Commissioner of Police, by Regulations made under this Act, restrict the carrying of firearms, including the carrying of firearms by licence holders, in places of public entertainment or public functions, where he is satisfied that the carrying of firearms in such circumstances may result in a breach of the peace.
