New Garda FAQ

rrpc

The Gardai have updated their Popular Questions about the new process (probably due to having received many questions on the subject) and have posted it on their website.

It's attached here and hopefully will answer most of your questions and give them a chance to grab a breather

So it seems, shotguns dont need a safe, if their is only 1, but need to be dismantaled and stored sepratley.
No mention of rifles, just restricted, does this mean all rifles are now restricted?
At least a good safe is all thats needed if we have less then 3 firearms, but not all are marked with the standard stamp, but are just as good..?

It seems like it's an error, but effectively there's a special 'requirement' for the single shotgun owner and after that you need a safe.

Read the restricted thread for what exactly is or is not restricted. Most rifles aren't.

"Popular Questions in Relation to..."

I suppose "FAQ's on..." lacked the pomposity required by such a (self)estimable organisation as An Garda Siochana.
