Thread: FAL F**k up.

So in the mailbox today was somebody else's new firearms license, but it has all of my details on it, name, birthday and license number just with some other blokes photo. At least it came to me instead of going to the other bloke, with registration a real possibility it wouldve been easy as pie to regester any firearms under my name. Will go see my AO this week and see what he has to say about it

faaark this firearms situation just gets better by the day doesn't it wonder will we get the blame for it as well

Is it Jamie Lockett's photo?

Have a JP witness and sign a copy of it.
the police will demand it back, then you can still stick it to that smarmy cahill.

Good idea.

That is some pretty dodgy shit. I would make a copy of the license before the cops want it back. Might be handy in the next law change cycle when the cops go for a national register of rifles. Like you say, you would be up shit creek if the guy in the photo bought some guns.
Even a single digit entry error might have you owning a rifle that doesn't actually exist. And good luck convincing the cops it was their transcription error and you don't have that rifle. It will be nothing but trouble

Words fail....

Seen that before, first hand....

You just wouldn't know yourself if this sort of thing happened to you, would you?
