Thread: E cat conditions

Hey all

has anyone heard or had a condition added to there e cat licence, as in for range use only? just have heard a rumor floating around about about this, just made me a bit concerned since i have been through the interview process.

This why you need to ensure you include hunting as one of your reasons when applying, unless you want to risk having a condition imposed.

+1

Also include "And any other Legal Purpose".

That way your not limiting yourself in the future.

Cheers

Yeah have herd what ever you state on your application is what conditions will be in place for your endorsement so hunting is a valid reason especially if you hunt goats and come across a big mob of them 10 rounds can go very quick

30 almost as quick

It is on Hansard records that hunting is considered a genuine reason to ask for an E endorsement

I think I listed the following:

'Service rifle shooting, hunting, collecting, target shooting, hand load development, bench rest shooting, personal interest'

"Any lawful activity that takes my fancy from time to time, including, but not limited to...

Service Rifle
3-gun
Pest control
Hunting
[etc]"

do any of your referees have to have their B/E endorsements when you apply for B/E ?

No.

I thought it may be helpful so had a mix of some that did and some that didnt.

Careful guys, plod might say we are trying to game the system again.

It's about understanding the law, not about playing legal games. This is an open discussion on a firearms forum, not an episode of Suits.

In the process of applying for E and C at the moment. The E in particular needs a referee who has given permission to hunt on land using e endorsed firearm... Pretty sure that wasn't required previously...

Anyway... who needs an E-cat autoloader as long as there are fast A-cat Lee Enfields?

Almost only stirring. (-:

How about DOC? are they not land owners who give permission to hunt on the land that's under their control, as long as your not using a small calibre like a 22 or shotgun
or tracer incendiary rounds then a MSSA is totally acceptable
