Thread: E-CAT Endorsement Requirements

TLDR

Looking at getting the E cat endorsement and reading up on the application. Is ONLY item 1 below a valid reason for getting E-cat endorsement. I was under the impression that all E-cat holders need to be involved with competition or a requirement for work. I have no intention of doing either.

FYI my collection consists of a .22. Looking at a AR-15 to add to my "collection".

A few years ago I sold my SL8 to a friend. Apparently him having this rifle in itself was a good enough reason to get a E-cat.

The individual applying for the endorsement:
1. seeks to possess the MSSA as part of a collection, and demonstrates
that it fits with and enhances an existing or planned collection, or
2. participates in an identifiable shooting discipline or sport at an
incorporated sports club with rules encouraging safe and legal use of
firearms and a range certified for the shooting activity and intends to
use the MSSA in an event at that sports club, or
3. wishes to use the MSSA in a capacity equivalent to that described in
section 29(2)(e) of the Arms Act 1983 (‘theatrical purposes’), or
4. requires the MSSA for occupational purposes.
