SCHEDULE 1Firearms dealers: Application for registration or for new Certificate of Registration

Rule 2(3)

SCHEDULE 2Notification by a Registered Firearms Dealer of a place of business not already entered in the register

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Rules)

These Rules make amendments to the Firearms Rules 1998 (S.I. 1998/1941).

Rule 2(2) replaces the existing application form for registration as a firearms dealer or for a new certificate of registration as a firearms dealer. The amendments to the form impose a requirement on applicants to provide details of all servants who, by virtue of section 8(1) of the Firearms Act 1968 (c. 27) (the “1968 Act”), are or will be authorised to possess, purchase or acquire firearms and ammunition in the ordinary course of the applicant’s business. Applicants are also now required in certain circumstances to provide a personal health and medical declaration disclosing relevant medical conditions that may affect their suitability to carry on business as a firearms dealer without danger to the public safety or to the peace.

Rule 2(3) replaces the existing form which a registered firearms dealer uses to notify the chief officer of police for that area of a place of business not already entered in the register. The amendments to the form impose a requirement on registered firearms dealers to also provide details of all servants who, by virtue of section 8(1) of the 1968 Act, are or will be authorised to possess, purchase or acquire firearms and ammunition in the ordinary course of the registered firearms dealer’s business.

A full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business, the voluntary sector and the public sector is available at http://legislation.gov.uk. Hard copies can be obtained from the Serious Violence Unit, Home Office, 2 Marsham Street, SW1P 4DF.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
