Article 11 Variation of firearm certificate

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

The Chief Constable may vary a firearm certificate on the application of the holder and payment of the appropriate fee (if any).

(2)

If an application is made under paragraph (1) for a firearm or ammunition to be added to a firearm certificate, paragraphs (1) and (2) of Article 5 shall apply to the variation of the certificate as they apply to the grant of a certificate.

(3)

If a person—

(a)

sells a shotgun (“the first shotgun”) to the holder of a firearms dealer’s certificate (“the dealer”); and

(b)

as part of the same transaction purchases a shotgun (“the second shotgun”) from him,

the dealer may vary that person’s firearm certificate by substituting the second shotgun for the first shotgun.
