MM Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) i read somewhere on here about the wording on an FAC meaning it is classed as open. mine says the following (ive only just had a GOOD read) And this is word for word................ the (insert rifle lists) and ammunition shall be used for shooting vermin and for zeroing on ranges, or land deemed suitable by the Chief Officer of Police for the area where the land is situated and over which the holder has lawfull authority to shoot. I cannot find any section that should list of name certain land. Does this mean it has been granted as open? Cheers for the help.

garyb Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 It's closed if it contains this or land deemed suitable by the Chief Officer of Police for the area where the land is situated and over Some may refer to it as "semi-open" as it dosent specifically list the names of the farms like some.

Phone your firearms dept with the name of the farm / land - they should be able to look it up and tell you over the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George1990 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Mine says exactly the same and I got the same mixed response I think I'd give the Firearms person a call though before I went willy nilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW The above is 100% correct. I had a closed ticket and it said what's written above under the 'closed' statement. Now it's open and it says something very similar to what's written above for the 'open' statement. Let me get my ticket....

Billy. Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Mine is quite a mouthful, but basically I managed to get an open ticket to include accompanied deer stalking, as I have not completed my DSC1, which is a strict requirement in my county. "The Firearms and the ammunition to which this certificate relates shall be used for pest control and when accompanied for deer stalking and for zeroing on ranges or land over which the holder has permission to shoot with that class of firearm from the person by whom the shooting rights are owned or from they may be leased or otherwise obtained" That's quite a mouthful without a full stop! Edit: Plus I think an oxford comma would come in handy here "...and when accompanied for deer stalking, and for zeroing on..."
