paul2012 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Some of you may remember a thread recently about this, I got my fav ticket and it says as a condition that i need to notify if i buy/sell/aquire firearms, moderators and ammunition. I had no problems with this and sent the local force an email in line with the letter they sent me, Got a phone call yesterday from firearms licencing saying that I don't need to inform them when i buy ammo as they can barely cope with just firearms purchase transfers etc. They also said that they cant change the condition as it comes printed on the new certificates as its now part of the home office guidelines or something to that effect. So now im lost as to what to do, because if i do what they say and don't inform them im in breach of my conditions. And if i do then i could be seen to be ignoring what they are telling me to do. I don't think im the only one in this situation as the condition is standard on all new certifcates in the area but what should i do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 It's law that you have to notify the police of any purchase/sale of firearms, but I have never heard of 'letting them know when you buy ammunition. This condition on your ticket is against Home Office rules as far as I'm concerned. When ammunition is purchased, it's written on to your certificate, and that should be sufficient.
