molhunter Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Mol In reality there is no such thing as either an open or closed FAC. The slang term refers to the level of restriction placed on the FAC as a condition. It is usual for a condition to be placed on a first FAC restricting the shooter to named land and police approved ranges; this is what would be considered closed. An open FAC is less restrictive, but places the onus on the shooter to conduct their own risk assessment of the land over which they must hold the land owners permission to shoot. Brilliant, then I have one - straight off the bat - thank you grampian police. Nice one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Brilliant, then I have one - straight off the bat - thank you grampian police. Nice one. If it says you can shoot on any ground with the permission of the landownr rather than "land deemed suitable by the chief of police" then you certainly do. If you have then well done, that's really helpful and will save you a load of bother for the future when you get more permissions. How long have you had your certificate? Did you get these terms on initial grant? What police force are you under? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Just keep asking your department every week to clear different ground, they'll soon get fed up with doing so and give you the deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr smith Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Brilliant, then I have one - straight off the bat - thank you grampian police. Nice one. :unsure: In general the forces up here in Scotland give 'open' tickets far easier the those in England.Mine's was open from the start for .22+.17HMR,though i had been shooting on and off for a number of years,i know of others up here who have also been given open tickets on initial grant.
