Firearms Licences: Working Group on the Review of Firearms Licensing
10:40 am
Mr. Fergus Healy:
Yes, there are provisions in the legislation to do all those things. The legislation as such can exclude one from being a suitable person for applying for a gun. However, once one applies for a gun, the superintendent or chief superintendent then will go through a rigorous process of assessment - the various different categories the Deputy outlined - with regard to deciding whether it is appropriate that the licensed firearm should be issued to that particular applicant.
