Rachael the Sniper. Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hello. I got a new firearm, shotgun to be exact. Over and under. I got friendly with FRD. I traded old one in and bought new one. He said that he will do the paper work for me and off i went. I got a call from my FEO on Monday saying, Did you get a new firearm? I said yes. FEO said the FRD filled the serial number incorrectly and will you drop form over to station. I have done this. Now i wait. So question Is. Can i go clay shooting without my FAC but with my own firearm? X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Not sure of the laws in your country. To me I don't see a problem you have a FAC and it's just a clerical error not of your doing. Ring your FLO and ask would be my advice.

JimLondon Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 It's your responsibility to inform your firearms office of any firearms/shotguns to be added/removed from your ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil_bri Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Carry on as normal, you still have an fac/authority for a shotgun, its just an admin error over a serial number for a firearm that you had already been granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sureshott Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Your FAC covers you for the gun with the serial number which is stated on it. If the serial number on the FAC is different to the one on the gun you might find yourself without the gun should you be stopped by the PSNI. A phone call will sort you out chum.
