24230 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Had my Section one renewed 03/06/2016 had need of some new ammo today but gun shop pointed out to me that the police had sent me a PERMIT TO POSSESS A FIREARMS this states on the permit i can own firearms and ammo but not purchase firearms and ammo, i paid the fee upon renewal i hold a section one with two guns .22lr and a center fire .222 on an open ticket . Whats going on? can someone tell me, there is no reason why the police sent this i have held a firearms licence for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kody Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Looks like part of your ticket is missing the ammo page where the shop fills it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Have they just sent you a section 7 until they sort out your new ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Just a clerical error. All they have to do is reprint your old ticket, yet they mess it up all the time. Send it back or phone them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24230 Posted October 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 My permit that came has no photo but has the police stamp i thought this was strange when it came as i sent the correct number of photos in with the application.

24230 Posted October 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Good point, i own some land and property in France and often take all my guns over to shoot as you point out things may change soon, in France I can and do own and shotgun up to a .22lr with no need of any licence as i own land and can shoot vermin, if i want to shoot game and do i hold a permit to hunt game.

Like many firearms departments, they obviously have a backlog and can't renew and issue your renewed FAC on time. They have therefore issued you with a permit to possess your guns until such time their workload allows then to complete the checks and issue your FAC. Welcome to the world of understaffed firearms departments !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
