RIFLE LAWS

hopefu

Hi all
I'am looking for info on getting a rifle cert for .22 for target shooting
1. does anyone know what the super in louth is like for issuing firearm certs is he pro or con.
2. I live in dundalk my nearest club and range is just across the border so how would this affect my application (ie) could i get a licence to cross the border every weekend
3. if i became a member of this club would this be any good when applying for the licence in the republic. :cool:

you would have to join a club in the republic to get the licence. and if you wanted to shoot over the border you would need a european firearms pass and a permission from the psni. you won't get a licence without being a member of a garda authorized range or with permission to shoot vermin on someones land.

Nope, its no good. I was refused in Dundalk for a Northern Ireland target club.

THe nearest club after that is the midlands and he wasnt very pushed on that idea either I dont think. I moved house soon after- problem solved

I wouldnt like to say that the Dundalk Super is anti-firearms. But I will say that he doesnt give them out lightly.

Hi Mike,

Just browsing and noticed you are on line, so here is a question if you do'nt mind.--- I applied for a .22 rifle licence last week (in Cork )have you any idea how long the process takes? and what chance have I of being successful? All my details are positive. ( I also ticked the sound moderator box).

Cheers.

Can take anything up to 3 months...depends on your district really. If you have everything in order(land permisson/range membership, security etc) then you should be fine.

If you don't hear anything in eight weeks I would give the district office a ring and speak to the supers secretary she will be able to tell you how the application is going,sometimes they can forget.:rolleyes: Good luck with your application.

Keep pushing them if you hear nothing in 5-6 weeks, I got a grant notice today I put the application in last March. That's almost 6 months
