104: Conditions of curator licence: production of arms item on demand

You could also call this:

"What to do if an officer asks to see your arms items"

Illustration for Arms Bill

If you have a curator licence, you must produce any arms item you have when an officer of the Arms Regulator asks to see it. You must also let the officer inspect the arms item and where it is stored or displayed. The officer must identify themselves and tell you why they are exercising their power. They must also show you proof that they are an officer if they are not wearing a uniform. If you do not follow these conditions, you might get an improvement notice, a suspension notice, an infringement notice, or your licence could be revoked. The officer's power to inspect is subject to certain rules if your licence has a special endorsement.
