shaun4860 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I normally just put a line through it although I know people that just leave it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Leave as is really (of course inform plod of sale) you can pencil line through if you like or note "sold" in margin, golden rule you never write on your own cert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wokkywokky Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 i think the rule is apart from signing your certificate you never write on your own certificate. its always the seller will write on the buyers certificate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayman Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 An entry on a certificate is an authority to be in possession of, not a statement of ownership. As such, it does not need to be qualified on your license as the guns possessive whereabouts is recorded on the National Register as soon as reporting of the sale completes, so no action beyond completing a sale entry on the buyers certificate and reporting is needed by the seller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norfolk dumpling Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I sold a gun to a mate and crossed it off licence myself and nothing said when I renewed. Mate who bought it wrote details on his licence before notifying FLO of addition. Surely any gun changes done between individuals should be written on yourself and then notify FLO??

clayman Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I am slightly baffled here. Every-one's SG Sec 2 license has the procedure for a sale / purchase clearly written in the notes. Do EXACTLY what it says and no criticism can be made. Where does it say " cross through a sale". Its amazingly simple - do what it says on the license and you have complied. Do anything else and risk, at worst, gun seizure, revocation, prosecution, fine or custodial sentence. Your certificate is Crown Property, and to tamper with it a criminal offence. It says the seller must complete the buyers table and date and sign it - then both parties must report the sale / purchase. Nothing else. Why are people tying to invent procedure that is neither specified nor needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
