This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
Free renewal of firearm certificates
3(1)The delivery of the pistol into police custody does not affect the validity of any firearm certificate authorising the holder to have it in his possession.
(2)If a firearm certificate which authorises any person to have the pistol in his possession expires at a time when the pistol is in police custody, no fee shall be charged for the renewal of the certificate unless the renewed certificate also relates to another firearm, or ammunition for another firearm, which is not at that time in police custody.
(3)Where a firearm certificate is renewed by the police free of charge, and the pistol is released to the holder of that certificate under paragraph 6 or 7 below, he shall at that time pay any fee which, apart from this paragraph, he would have been charged on the renewal of his certificate.
