If your gun licence is suspended under section 145 or 146, the chief executive can revoke it. The chief executive must think about what you say before the suspension deadline. They can revoke your licence if they believe it is the right thing to do. The chief executive must tell you quickly what they decide about your suspended licence. You will know if your licence is revoked or not. The chief executive makes this decision after considering your thoughts.
