In Abdul Kafi v. District Magistrate, Allahabad and Another 2003 ALL L. J. 1959, the Licensing Authority refused licence on the ground that the applicant had not mentioned the necessity and justification for fire arm in his application nor had he stated as to who were the persons from whom he had apprehension to his life and liberty. It was held that refusal of licence on such a ground was not justified.

file writ petition in HC challenging order of Licencing authority refusing to grant you an arms licence . the arms licence cannot be denied merely on ground that there is no specific threat to your life

I agree with expert Mr. Ajay Sethi on the subject issue, you may proceed to tackle the issue through a writ before the high court, consult a local lawyer and proceed as per his advise.
