Re: FAC Questions
Where in the legislation (or Guidance) does it mention that using a firearm a specific number of times per year is a requirement? If it IS a requirement, surely this would be listed as a Condition on the FAC?

Re: FAC Questions
Many thanks. In practice, lack of use appears to simply be grounds for further enquiry. I have ‘mitigating’ circumstances so I think I’m good.

Re: FAC Questions
Mitigating circumstances are always good.
My father had bypass surgery, then a new knee and finally laser eye treatment, all meant he hadn't shot for nearly the term of his FAC. There was no issue at the following renewal and now he seems to be making up for lost time.

Re: FAC Questions
Am I right in saying that you can only purchase ammo for a firearm that is on your FAC?
e.g if you have 1000 .22RF on your FAC but your .22RF slot is currently empty you cant purchase the ammo?

Re: FAC Questions
No, you're wrong, I'm happy to say. Your FAC authorises to purchase the ammo, you may purchase the ammo. There are at least 3 ways you could legally borrow a .22RF without putting it on your FAC and use your own ammunition in it.Lancs_Oakley wrote:Am I right in saying that you can only purchase ammo for a firearm that is on your FAC?

Re: FAC Questions
Do I need to have a firearms safe and ammunition safe in situ before the local firearms officer visit ?
