Thread: Using the firearms register

Kerr -

Hopefully, one day, the "Wha Wha Wha" on here will stop. Until then, here is a thought for you, "Wha Wha Wha...."

Im going to chance that you are taking the piss , but likely not .

You have no idea how much time I have spent on hold to that organisation , but believe me - its bound to be a hell of a lot more than Joe Blow who owns 4 firearms.

If the FSA answering service is indicative of the rest of the govt funded beauracracy in this country we are truly buggered.

I have no issue with the helpful people who eventually do answer the phone .

Another troll on my blocklist

Well from the way you've responded to several pretty normal people on here I reckon you are a right bell end or at the least a pro copper troll

Fair point

I note that Fyfeshire Rock is also known as Urenui which of course translates to big dick

Brings to mind a certain Python sketch about Biggus Dickus

Fifeshire rock sits just off Rocks Road in Nelson.

I agree that "8mins is a service working" is the standard I would expect from a sales based, or service industry, (Kathmandu, Swari Apparel, Repco, plumbers, electricians) who I am trying to give my money too in exchange for goods and services. But you can't apply that standard to an under resourced, overworked, Government department. You are setting your expectations way too high and therefore are setting yourself up to fill, too be disappointed. But then on the bright side, you can then go onto social media and go, 'Wha, Wha, Wha, I told you so....."
As I say to born agains, "You have your beliefs, I have mine, I don't expect you to change, please don't expect me to change, time to move on...."

Something wrong here...can't quite put my finger on it. Guess I'll have to ask my mate, Trumpy Trump Trump.

Random query - if I have a firearm that isn't currently registered, and I am looking to sell it; is it more logical to register it first, prior to selling or not? What are the pros/cons?

Selling a firearm will be a triggering event, that means you will have to register all of yours within 30 days. Even if that is your only one you and you you sell it you will still need to register that you have none.

If you are going to need to register in the near future you may want to start the ball rolling by getting your RealMe ID sorted.

Gotcha - although private sale I assume isn't necessarily a triggering event?

If you haven't interacted with the registry at all yet then personally no I would not. Leave it up to the new owner to register it for the first time. You can save yourself 2 phone calls to the FSA this way and I don't believe you've done anything wrong.

The sale will be an "activating" event for you, and you will then legally have to register any other firearms you own.

Private sales are still a activating circumstance, it astounds me the number of people getting misguided advice off anywhere and everywhere except the FSA. Granted none of us are happy about the current situation but you also should be very careful about what and where you get your information from, ignorance is no excuse.

Yes.because you are fit and proper and that is what the law now requires.

Thanks - duly noted. I'm primarily interested in the pro/con of when to register if contemplating a sale.

Sort out who’s buying it first, could go either way
