bullet1747 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 When I ever go out I take the licence ,am I allowed to go shooting while they get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tod Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Cant see why not, can you remember your licence number ? , i always have a photocopy just in case i lose mine, as long as you have your permission paperwork with you all it takes from the police is a pnc check and you will come back as a holder, maybe ring them to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHE Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 When I ever go out I take the licence ,am I allowed to go shooting while they get it sorted Yes. There is a legal requirement for you to be in lawful possession of a certificate. That means that you need to have one legally, it doesn't mean that it needs to be in your physical possession.

bedwards1966 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yes you can still shoot. Technically a police officer can seize your guns if your stopped and can't produce your certificate, but that's not likely to happen. I do find it funny how if any of use lose a certificate the police won't be happy (due to the possibility of a criminal changing the photo and using it to buy guns), yet they consider it acceptable for them to send it by standard post...
