It's still an import to the country, and an export from here. https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/import/iefw-iefa-eng.html That's the Canadian side. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/firearms-and-export-control-forms That's to export from here. I completely get saving money, but legally you sound like you're circumventing import and export fees, and trying to do it cheaply. I get it, but I don't think you can do what you think you want to do.

Yes, I focused on the admittance of guilt over the assault. Tied in with the history of depression, it could make them linked even if that's not the case. But regardless, I would tend to agree with your opinion, but I will of course wish the OP all the success regardless.

In fairness, the removal from your licence is more of a question to your firearms team. But you are in essence exporting a gun, regardless of gift intention, as it has a value that you are exporting with a view of it not returning. You will also need to confirm with the local police how you transfer it to that person to conform with registrations etc. You may find it easier to export it via post as a gift, but with a value for customs/insurance, and then the export certificate will show your firearms team you have not just sold it but exported it abroad. I am not sure they'll accept "I gifted it abroad and hand delivered". I may be wrong.

If it is a conditional caution then you have pleaded "guilty" and stated you did that action that formed the case. Assault is an odd one, you could have nudged someone accidentally but still assaulted them, through to using words, to more. I can't help but think that this will preclude you from owning a licence, and whilst not an automatic ban, they will have a weight of probability around suitability. Good luck with your application and hopefully you get closure one way or another without too much delay. 11.15 states you should get a reason if refused: https://library.college.police.uk/docs/homeoffice/Guide-on-Firearms-Licensing-Law-2012-13-Shotgun-Certificate.pdf

The closest I could get was PND for D&D, but I don't believe there's a FPN or PND for assault. Also fines do not come with any conditions. Any conditions on release from custody would be for bail, not for disposal. But, it could be conditions from a community resolution, but these are not usually tied in with a PND. I suspect the fountain has been tainted.

Are you taking to shoot or permanent export?

I may be interested in a pair of bear's knives, feel free to PM me with your best price for 2 posted?

If the wellies aren't sold I'd be interested, and could collect sometime soon (happy to pay in advance) if we go to Purbeck?

Indeed, hence my surprise when we massively went a different direction.

I'm pleased to say it still happens now. It is a great change that really helps protect people. I am not sure I see this thread in the same positive light. But time will tell, it will depend how it's labelled.

No, I believe they won't. They'll do quite the opposite. If it is for public safety, they have an obligation to do it as part of their budget. If it's for administration, it could be argued it needs funding. This is the beauty of trials and demos. They don't need approvals or discussions. The tricky part is stopping it becoming the status quo.

Voluntarily Ok, open question. When I started shooting relatively recently compared to others, a plaswad ban was high on the agenda and talks in circles. It's now pretty much gone quiet. Is this to allow a voluntary transition to steel first, then plaswad will hit the radar once a suitable replacement to fibre works, that's affordable?

If you have a few partners over 10 years say, does this mean you have to notify the police every time you want sleepovers with a new "friend"?! Crazy though.

I'd happily have this on reserve if it doesn't get taken for any reason

Ashley is still there, yes! I saw him late last year, and to my knowledge he's still there. Really amazing fella, and I think I have a great photo of a bald headed eagle on my arm on a day he and his team hosted. I will reach out and see if they take pigeons for free (seems better than disposing!), and then I shall focus if I can find someone to take me on the field to get them some! It's not the age of the bird, it's the quality
