Rewulf Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 You have 7 days to notify the police that it has been sold/transferred to the shop ,quoting their RFD number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 You have 7 days to notify the police that it has been sold/transferred to the shop ,quoting their RFD number. I was under the impression that's not the case with a RFD, They can hold without notifying? For repair for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 If it is to remain on your ticket until sold, then no, you shouldn't inform licensing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenlivet Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I sold a couple of guns on commission through an RFD a couple of years ago. I got a receipt for the guns when I left them with him and didn't inform the police when they sold as I assumed the RFD would have done. Time will tell if I was correct but I would imagine I would have heard by now if there was a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may still be on your ticket if you've never informed the police about the sale. Remember. YOU are responsible for notifying the police of changes to your certificate.

Glenlivet Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) You might just want to check. They may still be on your ticket if you've never informed the police about the sale. Remember. YOU are responsible for notifying the police of changes to your certificate. I'll ring them on Tuesday but would hope RFD/ notification on another licence would do the job. Edited to say that when the guns were sold the RFD didn't give me any details of the purchasers, therefore impossible for me to inform my FEO.

Rewulf Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I was under the impression that's not the case with a RFD, They can hold without notifying? For repair for example. I could be wrong,but I was lead to believe if (in the case of sec1) they wanted to know 'where ' the guns were. If they were at an RFD waiting to be sold,they are not with you,so need transferring. Sec 2 slightly different with the 72 hr rule,but same again ,they are not in your cabinet,so they need to know where they are residing. If you got spot checked (I know its rare ) how would you explain a missing gun ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kody Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I think now that the shop gives a ticket out to prove its with them and when sold then you notify plod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 If it is to remain on your ticket until sold, then no, you shouldn't inform licensing. Correct . I have a rifle with a RFD for sale and he said no need to inform police untill it gets sold Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmick Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I sold a gun through my rfd,he in effect gave me a receipt as if he had taken ownership,i informed the police of the change this meant that when he sold the gun he was legally allowed to enter it onto the new keepers certificate as I would not have been able to if it had stayed on my license.
