192: Revocation of endorsement in respect of restricted firearm or restricted magazine

You could also call this:

"When You Lose Permission to Have a Restricted Firearm"

Illustration for Arms Bill

The chief executive can revoke an endorsement on your licence if they think you would not be allowed to have it if you applied again under section 183 or 184. They can also revoke it if you have not followed the conditions of the endorsement. If the endorsement is revoked, you must give your licence to the chief executive when they ask for it, so they can cancel the endorsement. You will no longer be allowed to have a restricted firearm or restricted magazine, even if you do not give your licence back.
