Thread: Obtaining a firearms licence after it was cancelled

What is the vetting process if someone had their firearms licence taken from them by the courts and after 25 years have gone by and they want to reapply for there licence. And say the person has had a clean record in all those years. Would it depend on why they lost their FAL in the first instance. An other scenario guy in a gun club has a FAL and a long time ago had done time for drugs. How did said person get a FAL? Do the police allow someone to obtain a licence if they were once a naughty boy but have been good for a long time now. This isn't about me but about someone else and some information has just come to light?
