Adding permissions

[Salizar]

When you obtain additional permissions, why does your fire arms dept. ask for a letter or form of confirmation so they may add it to your "file"?. I thought you only did this for an application or renewal of a section one. Example: I have recently acquired another permission on 1700 acres and had a calibre clearance check, which showed ok up to .308 calibre.

I get on well with my FEO and firearms dept. so don`t wish to upset them, but do I need to do this?

 

Have I missed something in the rules and regulations?

depends on if the land has been passed before if it has and the land owner knows to what cal .as long as you don't exceed that cal .then no .

 

you get it checked if you don't know

[stokie]

As you had the land checked they want specific details to help them clear it

There is no need or reason to submit any form if the land has been previously cleared .

Thanks, the land was already cleared up to .308 I phoned my FEO and he checked their records as I was talking to him, then he asked for a copy of the signed confirmation by the land owner, to be forwarded to the firearms dept. to put on my file.

Ignore it there is no requirement other than on initial application or renewal and even then it's only for one piece of ground to back up your reason to have fac guns

Like what the other guys have said if the land is all ready cleared the you can crack on.But im still on a closed cert on my centrefires when i asked my firearms dept if a golf coarse had been cleared for .243 because i had been asked to control the deer ther they woudnt tell me over the phone.

Told me to email a permission form over and they would let me kwow.

In Suffolk we dont have permission forms as anyone could make it up! (at least I never used or seen one) all we do is send off a OS map of the land if it hasnt been cleared and or details of the farmer/person who gave you the permission and they do the work, my last piece was cleared in 3 working days near enough. They phoned the farmer first to confirm and then me straight after. Alan
