A few reports have reached us indicating that some people out there believe that once they joined a Gun Club for the purpose of obtaining their Firearms Licence, that they may now cease such membership until next renewal. Not so ! The Garda Commissioner's Guidelines on this are clear and state quote "Individuals who have cited membership of, for example, a clay pigeon club or game shooting club as their ‘Good Reason' for having a firearm certificate must be mindful that if they should allow their membership of the club to lapse for any period during the lifetime of the certificate, that this may constitute grounds for revoking their firearm certificate." Accordingly, if individuals cease to renew their Club membership EVERY YEAR during the currency of their licence, then they leave themselves open to the revocation of their licence.
Please Note:
Gun Club membership fee due end of July.
