Thread: Police s45A Mail form - was refused one

Well just went back to get another S43A form and again I was asked to fill in the Sellers details so yip I read my little speech out again. This time I only had to say it once

'The Police form requesting details of the Seller and information regarding the serial number of the weapon being purchased is incorrect and cannot be insisted upon as the “only form they will sign”. Police have a Statuary duty to sign any form that meets the requirement of Section 43A of the Arms Act 1983.


But what I don't understand is I fill in the form they sign it and hand it back to me, they basically don't record anything, they have no record as they don't keep no copy. So its not like they are going or can use any of the information. Anyway I'm happy plus there was no way I was going to leave without getting it signed.
