COMPO 54 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 The lads in Ireland, not the UK! So the firearms act quoted is wrong. In the uk sentenced to 3 years or more and you are forever probihited from a firearm, 3months to 3 years and its a 5 year ban....Ireland.....i dont know, go ask the Garda!

Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 each and every Irish citizen is entitled to hold a firearm cert, regardless their history, FACT. Now it is up to the local super to put his head on the line for you, which I know for a fact that has happened before, if you can persuade him that you have been clean since you last conviction then you stand a chance of getting your cert. Arrange a meeting with the local super prior to your application, explain to him what you would like to do, explain your past in detail to him and how far you have moved on with your life, be very honest with him from the start. Believe me this approach works. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
