.223 Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Here’s a little advice for any young shots on this form that are looking at applying for a firearm certificate in the next few years DO IT NOW! The local firearms officer came round to check are guns and safety today and was on about how it was a good job I have already got mine as he thinks after all the business of war has calmed down the government is going to be making gun licensing even stricter than now to make it harder for new comers and youngsters to start.

.223 Posted May 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 They don't need to know about guns/firearms to write a reference just they need Know that you are sensible and won't misuse them but it does help if they have been out shooting with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.223 Posted May 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 This is not for definite but the firearms officer said he thinks they are definitely going to tighten up on air rifles as we all no and he thinks they may be bringing in test that need to be taken before you get your licence’s just like in Europe. Also changing the age limits around for shotguns and firearms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave15 Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Well Im only just applying for my shotgun cert but I better get my firearms cert sharpish. If I have a FAC as far as im concerned I should be able to keep it if the new law comes in then I gess I will have to give it up but its getting stupid just because they cant stop people in the town shooting each outher they decide to tighten Leagle gun laws just to make it look like their doing someting. its really getting stupid!

brooktrout Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 We are told that it is the basic right of any responsible citizen to hold a firearm or/and shotgun certificate, but they were saying that before handguns were banned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
