Thread: Useing the firearms register

With the person to person sales there is the requirement that the two parties then go off and get stuck into the register ha ha.
Interestingly, and I don't think it has changed, but the seller must view the buyers licence, but I don't think it goes the other way ie seller doesn't have to present his licence to the buyer. Correct me if I'm wrong. I always have done though.

This is a grey area: it is an offence to sell a firearm if you don't have a FAL. Whether it's an offence to purchase a firearm from someone who doesn't have a FAL is a moot point. I always ask to see the seller's licence.
