help with change of conditions on fac

[tony2]

i have just got back my fac with my change of conditions allowing me to use my .22lr to shoot vermin and ground game.

on the second paragraph it says . the .22rf ,sound mod and ammo which this certificate relates shall be used for shooting ground game and for zeroing on ranges , or on land deemed suitable by the chief officer of police for the area where the land is situated and over which the holder has lawfull athourity to shoot.

i shoot on three farms one of which i have permission to use my .22 i would like to know if permission is given to me on the other 2 do i have to notifiy my fire arms officer or am i able too shoot as long as i have the permision from the farmer.

cheers tony

Even if you get permission, you need to make sure the land has been cleared by the FAO for use with a rifle - thats whats the "or on land deemed suitable by the chief officer of police for the area where the land is situated and over which the holder has lawfull athourity to shoot." means!!!

ie you have a "closed" certificate and each new piece of lands need to be approved. If you had an "open" certificate you could make the judgement yourself.

just remember that new to you doesn't mean new to shooting. Up this way most of the farms have been passed at one point or another. Ask the farmer first if anyone has shot there in the past. Then call up the police force and ask if the farm is on their books. Having the farm name helps as that is what most know it by.
