JontyP 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hello, Have just joined as I am in the process of submitting a FAC application. I've shot a friend's .22 rimfire (Ruger) and shotgun in the past. Verbal permission obtained to shoot rabbits on various parcels of land from 60 acres down to just 4 acres. Will complete the forms once I receive written confirmation and details of authority to shoot. Plan is to use a CZ452 plus trigger mod + scope (suggestions welcome) Assume first licence will limit shooting to land specified on FAC - is this correct? How does one go about obtaining an open FAC to legally control vermin on other land as and when requested? Cheers, JP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, JP Welcome Mate.......Yes you are correct in assuming your first certificate will be Land Specified. To obtain an "Open" certificate your firearms officer will need to be satisfied you are suitably experienced enough first. Thats how it seems to work in my area........although police authorities do vary in their policies. Rolfey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

martin 332 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 What you need to do if you get more permission to shoot on,is........call your FAO and,have him/her inspect the land,and,if it is suitable he should allow you to have it put on your licence.
