tikka.223 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 A friend has been granted a .222 but with the following condition "to be supervised for 6 months by a person who is 21 years old and has held a FAC for a firearm of that type for 3 years" Does this mean 1.Someone who has held a .222 2.Someone who has held a firearm off that type(rifle) 3.Someone who has held a firearm of that calibre.

apache Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I would have thought it would be that cal or greater. Best confirm with your FEO to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 The only people who can clarify that is the region. But a guess would be a centerfire of similar or more power. It sounds rather woolly and open, commonly a "mentor" is named and will be required to report on the candidate in due course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this is going to be the norm now for those starting out. Wish the police force would get their heads together and make some proper rules then maybe we would know whats required of us.

tikka.223 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 The 2 things that I wasnt 100% on were "type" as they have the .222 type as rifle the same as his.17HMR,and "supervised for 6 months" what if he doesnt use it for 6 months and then proceeds to use it is this his supervision period over. Appears as theres quite a few ways this could be interpreted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 It basically means somone who has had a .22 centrefire or above for 3 years or more and is over that age. It doesn't need more clarification as its pretty straight forward. The way its written he could indeed not use it for 6 months and then go ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastiebap Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 A friend has been granted a .222 but with the following condition "to be supervised for 6 months by a person who is 21 years old and has held a FAC for a firearm of that type for 3 years" Does this mean 1.Someone who has held a .222 2.Someone who has held a firearm off that type(rifle) 3.Someone who has held a firearm of that calibre. TIA As the previous explanation was dead on no point elaborating. However this has been a condition (I believe) on the books since the 2004 order. This is just an **** covering excercise to put the onus on the shooter and also to "prevent" people requiring the completion of safety courses prior to issue of FAC. I believe that this comes under the remit of "Any other condition" that the Chief Con deems fit to require. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
