turbo33 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 So you put in for your fac, .22 + .17hmr, put the details of the farm on the application form and if lucky its granted. A week after it arrives, you get another permission suitable for those calibres. Whats the procedure to to be able to use the rifles on the new permission assuming its already been cleared for those calibres? Thanks t33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Depends on the wording. Your FAC will either say 1. "over land over which the holder has lawful authority to shoot" in which case you can shoot wherever you want. 2. "over land deemed suitable for the calibre by the chief of police" in which case crack on, you are semi-open 3. "over MADEUP FARM" in which case you will have to speak to the police to get them to add the farm to your certificate before you can shoot. They may require you send written permission. Make sense?

linny Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 hi bud, not long had my fac, iv got chief officer of police for the area where the land is situated and over which the holder of this cert has permission to shoot with this class of firearm from the person by whom the shooting rights are owned, leased or otherwise obtained, so i am semi open yes, cheers the land still has to be cleared deemed suitable for that calibre by the chief of police for that area so its best to ask 2. CHECK to see if the new permission has been checked by the cheif officer of police. yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh1 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Easy way to cover all bases, Find your land on google maps and mark the boundary,and save the image,take a PDF of your permission slip,and then send the map,permission slip and a request to have the land cleared to your firearms department by email. Most land has usually been cleared and you will usually get a reply within 24hrs emails are one of those things people don't ignore. You may get a delay if the land has not been checked for a long time as someone will have to go out and check it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apache Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 no such thing as semi, its either open or closed If we want to be pedantic there is no such thing as 'open' or 'closed'. Read the legislation. The simple fact is that you may or may not be restricted as to where you can use your firearms. That will either be restricted to a named piece of land, land that has been deemed suitable for the calibre by the chief of police, or left to the shooter to have lawful authority. 'Closed', 'semi-closed' and 'open' are handy terms used by shooters that cover the above situations. The terms have no legal status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using the terms as it seemed the person understood those rather than the wording on his certificate Im sure he will understand my reply, more than yours, otherwise he wouldent have posted his reply/question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
