I don't see why I should be a problem if you have a good reason to own it.

No need to meet with the chief super(super has no say in restricted licences).
So long as your security is up to par, you have a good reason for the gun, and because it is restricted a reason why a non restricted gun would not do, then you are golden.

Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.
S.I. No. 187/1972 - Firearms (Temporary Custody) Order - Firearms seized
S.I. No. 21/2008 - Firearms (Restricted Firearms and Ammunition) Order 2008 - Firearm types restricted
Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 - Firearms banned & grandfathered
S.I. No. 420/2019 - Magazine ban, ammo storage & transport restricted
Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2023 - 2023 Firearm Ban (retroactive to 8 years prior)
