ordnance Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) If its a problem just get another referee, I got the service manager and a friend it work to be mine, The rules here it might be different in the rest of the UK. Article 4 (2) © of the Firearms (Northern Ireland) Order 2004 requires applicants to provide the names of two suitable referees, both of whom must be of good character and have known the applicant for, at least, two years. A person is not a suitable referee if they are: A firearms’ dealer. A police officer or member of the police support staff. ( A resident outside the United Kingdom.) A relative of the applicant. A relative in relation to a person means: The father, mother, stepfather, stepmother, son, daughter, stepson, stepdaughter, grandmother, grandfather, grandson or granddaughter of the applicant or of the applicant's spouse or former spouse. The brother, sister, uncle, aunt, niece or nephew (whether of full-blood or half-blood or by affinity) of the applicant or of the applicant's spouse or former spouse and includes, in relation to a person who is living or has lived with another person as husband and wife, any person who would fall within paragraph (a) or (b) if the parties were married to each other.
