AVB Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I have often been way for a number of years and never informed police or FEO. There is no legislation that requires you to do so. I do, however, inform the British Consulate of the country that I am in. They like to know what British Citizens are there in case of emergency.

Donegalcharlie Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I will ring the firearms department and find out more tomorrow. I'll make sure an let the Irish consulate know when I arrive at my destination that's not a bad idea . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munzy Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I left for three years and my FEO advised passing my guns to a friend. I gave two on loan to him and we updated our certificates and then I took one with me on a European Pass (my area of Spain wasn't bothered about me having it there for an extended period on the pass). Once I got back I took possession of them again. Easy and less to worry about whilst I was away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordnance Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Under those circumstances I'd be leaving my guns with a friend or RFD. How can you leave your guns with a friend if they are not on their firearms certificate. Edited September 17, 2017 by ordnance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Depends if someone is there whilst your away. When I went to Lanzarote to work for a year my parents etc were in our family home, they were included in the Police checks of who lived their when the Police granted my licence so no issues. My only concern was what would happen if your licence expired whilst out of the country. I was asked to do a second year in Portugal and very nearly did, but in the end didn't bother, so didn't have to worry about that issue personally.

I only have a shotgun certificate but mine expired when I was working overseas. The FEO renewed it over the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymondley Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 How can you leave your guns with a friend if they are not on their firearms certificate. You write them on their certificate as lent. When you get back, they write on yours as returned. Let your FEO know on both occasions.

four-wheel-drive Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 You say that you are leaving the country for some time you do not say will the guns be sitting in an empty house are there other family members living there will the house be let if your family will still be living there no problem as if you have a brake in it would soon be spotted more information required.
