Bringing gun to the north

wonderworm

Anyone know how to go about getting the licence to bring a gun up north to shoot at a club grounds?

Think you need a invation from someone up north

Tackleberry.

I think the northern BASC will help you out with the invation you need so as to be able to shoot up north.

You get a permit just like going to the UK. I have one, it cost €20.

You need to apply for a gun permit as your euro pass wont cover you. You will need to fill out the application form send it in along with your southern permits, euro pass and included on the application is the info of your sponser. this application is downloadable. You can put as many guns as you want on you application and it normally takes a couple of weeks and issued for a full year.

The PSNI have a page explaining what you need and they have a helpful table which explains the documentation you need for all permutations of travel between Britain, NI, the Republic and other countries.

Their Firearms and Explosives Branch page has loads of info about the licensing of firearms in the north. It's probably worth having a quick skim since the rules are different to both GB and RoI.

As mentioned above, the visitors permit has to be applied for by a sponsor who's resident in NI, so contact the organisers of the shoot and they should help you out.

The club you are going to visit should be able to help you out.

There's no application form that I know of. Just ring up your FO and they'll get you one.
