"Rules for Inspecting Arms Items with a Business Licence"

Illustration for Arms Bill

If you have a business licence to possess an arms item, you must show it to an officer of the Arms Regulator when they ask. You must also let the officer inspect the arms item and where it is kept. The officer can enter your premises at a reasonable time to do this. When an officer exercises these powers, they must tell you who they are and why they are doing it. They must also show you proof that they are an officer if they are not wearing a uniform. If you ask, they must show you this proof again. There are some extra rules that apply if your licence has a special endorsement, which are outlined in section 186.
