Purchasing Ammo On My Behalf?

According to our club authorization only while on the range, a member that does not have a license cannot leave the range with a firearm or ammunition.
Club membership does not entitle you to take home a firearm or ammunition if you are not licensed or have an authorization.
That's according to your authorisation mick. The relevant law states that:
It also says:(5) (a) The Superintendent of any district may authorise in writing the possession, use or carriage of firearms or ammunition in that district in any of the circumstances specified in paragraphs (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (j) or (k) of subsection (4) of this section or of any component parts of a firearm, during such period, not exceeding one year, as may be specified in the authorisation.(d) A Superintendent may impose in relation to the grant of an authorisation under this section such conditions (if any) as he considers necessary to prevent danger to the public and, where a condition is imposed, it shall be specified in the authorisation.
So it's use and carriage but also any other conditions may be imposed. In your case the Super has imnposed the condition that it's only on the range. In others, that's not the case.
The bit Conor and Zara are referring to in relation to removal orders is the "in that district" qualifier, which means that if it leaves the district it needs to be approved.
It also means that a removal order is required to bring it back to the district and is why there are now 10,000 target rifles in Rathdrum

I have been reading this thread for a while so here's my 2 cent worth.
Over the weekend my son at last got his license and then his new rifle CZ LUX 223, 100 round ammo limit. So today Monday I went to 2 dealers and checked on 223 ammo prices and range of calibres. At the same time I asked if they would sell me ammo on my sons behalf. Both said yes as long as I had the license, a photocopy would do. And I could get/buy any amount, within reason. Discount on the more boxes you buy.
OK I know that if I am court with the ammo it is more than likely illegal to have in my posession
but so what.

I didn't start this thread.
But i have added an opinion as have others here. It may well be that it is illegal to buy or have in your pocession ammo that you don't have a license for, you pay's your money and you takes your chance.
wink back at you steve...................:rolleyes:
Whats the point of going target shooting with limited amounts of ammo. I'm hoping to get my license for a CZ 22lr, still waiting. Say I only get a limlit of 100 rounds. Thats only going to make me break the law as it stands. I have been to the Midlands range, hired a 22lr and shot 150 rounds there over 2 or more hours. I don't think I'll be traveling to the range to have a good days plinking without bringing at least 200-300 rounds with me. There's no point in traveling 1 1/2 hours, 60 miles, to only shoot 100 rounds and then hang around like a spare dic* is there?0 -

It wasn't me! wrote: »Well, you could just apply for a higher ammo limit. Nobody's responsible for you breaking the law but yourself. No point trying to pin it on the Gardai.
That's not what I wanted to give the impression of doing. I don't think I could pin anything on the old bill. To old to try now.
Do you know how the Super in Kilkenny is. He's not the type of man to be asked for anything. NOT even a calibre above 22 hornet. He has not signed for anything above that calibre without going to court AFAIK.0 -

hi clivej my limit is 100rounds total and 1 buy500 all the time.22rinfire LF
you are right about 100 rounds but garda dont care.
i ask my fao about a rise in ammo amount. ans dont be brother about it.
the 100 rounds means f all to me once you used them for target shooting
or shooting crow and dont sell or give them to people that have no
firearms cert.then we will not have a problin happy shooting:cool:
my firearms officer is cool:cool:steve0 -
Easiest way would be to just go to your local station with your firearms licence and two passport photos and apply for the European Firearms Pass. It should just be a formality as you are automatically entitled to it once you have an Irish licence.
Your European Firearms Pass carries all the rifles/pistols you have separate licences for and the automatic ammo limit on the European Firearms Pass is 500 rounds for each rifle listed on it.
EDIT: By the way, the application for the EFP shouldn't cost you a cent. As far as I can remember it is free of charge.0 -
