quagmire 6 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hi I have gained a new permission on which I would like to use my rimfire on, I know it has not been shot for many years and therefore wont be on the police database. Am I correct in thinking I need to write a letter to the firearms dept asking them to inspect the land for suitability?. If so are there any template letter formats anyone knows of. Thanks in advance Joe Quote Link to post

TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) A permission slip will be enough ,just for piece of mind really in case of a nosey plod,but still not a must, if u have the open cert, assuming you have? ,I wouldn't go to all the trouble of getting the land inspected I'm sure you are more than capable of risk assessing it yourself Atb Edited November 5, 2013 by TWOTWOTHREE Quote Link to post
bumpy22 414 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I don't send the 646 form in as I have open ticket. I just use as a permission slip looks more responsible when you can show a landowner dozens of them filled in or as said earlier if you are stopped. Quote Link to post
quagmire 6 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hi Thanks for the replies. I dont have an open ticket yet so I will need the firearms dept to check the land. The farmer has asked me to thin out the foxes for him, however I only have .22 rimfire on my ticket, so Iam thinking this would be a good time to ask for a .223. would I just write to the firearms dept asking for the additional calibre and the land to be checked in one letter. Thanks in advance Joe Quote Link to post
