Incomplete firearms application form.

Tikka391

We received a letter today from the guard dealing with my sons gun licence application.

He wants proof of addresses, ie utility bill etc. That's no bother.

Proof he meets the security requirements, he wants a receipt for the gun safe. The gun safe went in here in 2007 so that's well gone, a photo will have to do him.

It's the next bit I'm concerned about!! He wants "written permission to shoot on land including landowner details and location of land"

He is a member of our gun club and the NARGC. A copy his membership card was included in his application.

So what's the craic with that, what are the actual requirements in this regard?

My membership card has always done me and everyone else I know of too. Is he on a solo mission on this one. I have already tried to call him but can't get hold of him at the station. So I want to email him, and I'm looking for advice on how to word it.

I always thought gun club membership was sufficient enough for the requirements for license application.

Thanks all.

Membership to the gun club, along with a copy of his membership card, should suffice.

The lands are encompassed within the club so his membership to the club allows him access and permission on the lands. It's self explanatory and when providing the other information you should have him write a short note outlining this.

If the club has a pulse number, which some do, include this.

If you are unsuccessful in contacting the Garda and sorting it out contact the NARGC Fund Administrator……it used to be Chris Gavican but I think he retired…not sure who succeeded him.

Thanks for the info. I'll be getting on to him.

You could ask the club secretary for a map of the club grounds and just submit that with a photocopy of the membership card.
