    I dont see how you are making out that Im advertising that Im about to break the law.....

    It was not solely directed at you. The first part of my above post seems to have gone unnoticed :D

    It was a general point on a few bits and bobs I've seen posted over the past while.

    If you wish to take offence to it, I can't stop you, none was intended.

    You asked a specific question and got an answer. Anything you or anyone reading this decides to do is solely upon you or them.

    I see no benefit from letting this continue. If you wish to discuss it with me feel free to PM me.

    On that note thread closed.

    Sparks just a quick question on what you said about carrying a gun for someone, if im going out and bring a friend along he can legally carry a gun for me? Like if i want to bring the rifle and shotgun he can carry one for me?
    Just to answer that query; yes.

    Firearms act, section 2(3) and 2(4) list off the different circumstances where someone does not need a firearms certificate to possess/use/carry a firearm (and "carry" here is as in "carriage", meaning to take an object to a specified destination, as oppsed to carrying it with you as you go about your daily business). The relevant section is 2(3)(f):
    ( f ) the carriage for sporting purposes only of a firearm or ammunition under instructions from and for the use of the holder of a firearm certificate for such firearm or ammunition;
    Legally, you don't even have to be in the presence of the firearms holder (though I'd want the holder on speeddial, or to have their instructions in writing if I was doing that just in case I encountered a Garda who wanted to verify I was acting under 2(3)(f) and not just stealing someone's firearm)
