Illustration for Arms Bill

If you have a licence to possess a restricted firearm because you are a collector, curator, or work for a broadcaster or theatrical company, this section applies to you. You must follow certain rules when you have a restricted firearm. You cannot use live ammunition in the firearm. You must make sure the firearm is not working by removing an important part. You must keep the firearm in a condition where it cannot be used. You must store the removed part at a different address from the firearm. When we say a 'separate address', we mean the address of another person who has a licence and is approved by the chief executive. This other person may or may not have a licence to possess a restricted firearm. The chief executive must approve this person for you to store the part at their address.
