110csw Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I got my first FAC back in November and on it, it doesn't state I'm only allowed to shoot on the farm where my permission is. Does that mean it's an open certificate or have they just changed the way they write them? My pals first FAC stated the exact ground he was allowed to shoot on so I'm confused about mine. Thanks, Paddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Only where you have lawful permission and the land is passed by the Chief of Police, put simply the police decide if you can shoot on land you have permission on, so the buck stops with them it must be passed for said calibre. Once you have an unrestricted license then the responsibility lies with you on which land is suitable for "A" particular rifle/calibre. You make the educated decisions not the police, educated is the word there, that's normally why you don't get an unrestricted licence straight away. Sorry without seeing the exact wording the above may not coincide with your question. Edited February 21, 2014 by Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyshot Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 They have changed mate, if yours says land deemed suitable by the chief officer of police or similar it is closed, if no mention of chief officer of police it is indeed open.

Imperfection Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) On a closed licence it says something like 'on land deemed suitable by the chief inspector while on an open licence it says 'on land over which the holder has lawful authorty to shoot'.
