The trouble is it is never black and white - its always grey and I like black and white. When I enquired recently about putting all our guns on both our licences I was told I would need to send off my licence for them to do whatever it is they do to it. So I asked would I be able to shoot in the meantime without my licence. The answer I got was very mixed message. On the one hand she was telling me I shouldn't really and on the other she was saying take a copy of it just in case - no definitive yes or no response. Don't like that at all.
You spoke to a moron, don't trust what they say, read the the act and the most recent guidance, if still unclear contact your shooting organisation
They gave wrong advice. You write the guns on each others certs (in the part for sale of purchase...mark shared) and each of you sends a letter in to your firearms dept... stating shared with xyz.
That is what I thought and what I said to her but she said I was wrong. I am going to ring again in the New Year and see what answer I get this time.
I have given you the answer of how to do it.....and it is the way I have done it for donkeys years.
Not really, the least a specific department should be able to do is answer a simple question on their area of the law and if it means someone else benefits in the long run from someone actually giving them the correct information then that is worth it. Not to say that that will be what will happen but its worth 3 minutes of my time I think.
