[Nimrod1960]

Well I've just tried to buy a Moderator from a dealer in the Thanes Valley and they have been informed that Mods still have to be recorded therefore have to be sold from RFD to RFD and recorded on the receiving FC!!

They are completely wrong and can’t do their job

They need educated .

I would still recommend anyone doing their renewal right now to simply list them and be safe.
Afterall if they do the opposite and end up in a wrangle then no one on here is going to help!!

I submitted my renewal on the 10th of June (15 weeks and 6 days prior) to D&C with all of the moderators listed, so it will be interesting to see what comes back on the new cert.

But this is the knub of the issue. Just because legislation says one thing, the police may insist on a different process until they have internally identified the correct process.

You can say that they are wrong all you like, and legally you are probably right, but you, me and every other firearms license holder doesn’t make the rules, they do. So until they have caught up, you may find that buying, selling and shipping of mods remains the same kind of process as today

They don’t make the rules
And ignorance of the law is no excuse applies to them as well

They can insist that you stick your thumb up your backside and whistle if they feel like it. Makes no odds.
You're at liberty to refuse and to go to a vendor who understands the law to buy your new moderator whatever the police think. Why are you so scared of them?
Being a doormat is a weird way to live your life.

 

[BenBhoy]

Allcocks & cluny country will both post mods to your home address with photo evidence of your ticket. Been to my rfd today & he said as far as he concerned I can buy as many mods from his shop as i can afford. I bought none!

I know everyone's experiece with renewals varys dependant on region, but personally cant fault it here
Bit of a postcode lottery which is a shame

Living with a solicitor who is ex police, you hear a few stories about how they operate.
My general rule of thumb is not to go round poking bears with sharpened sticks just for the sake of it.
I like an easy life and I don’t intend to change that approach any time soon. It’s worked out ok for me so far!!

So how come we have had mentor conditions on licenses when there is nothing in firearms law saying that they are needed??
I believe that was something that the police unilaterally decided to do and if you wanted to shoot on land then you had to jump through their hoop.
The same now happens if you want to shoot on land as some fld’s will insist on you having an actual permission to shoot on - no permission no stalking or vermin. None of this is enshrined in firearms law, but the police add their interpretation.

Herts police insist on having bolts stored separately from rifles - nothing in firearms law that requires that to be the case, but if you don’t have a separate storage safe for bolts then they won’t sign you off.
And there are variable rules about when you need extra security. Not in firearms law, but they make the rules as they see fit. Don’t like it then you don’t get a ticket.
So, you think they don’t make the rules??

They do not make the rules, they uphold the rules.
