Section 21 Declaration for Shooting

Section 21 prohibits the possession of a firearm and ammunition (under any circumstances), by any

person who has been convicted of a crime and sentenced to a term of imprisonment (or its equivalent for young persons) of 3 months or more.

The prohibition applies in all circumstances, including handling and firing at an approved shooting club or at a clay pigeon shoot where a certificate is not ordinarily required.  It also applies to the possession or use of other categories of firearms and ammunition such as AIRGUNS or shot cartridges for which a certificate is not needed.

A sentence of 3 months to 3 years attracts a 5 year prohibition, shorter ones no prohibition but a longer one means a life ban.

I confirm that I am not prohibited by virtue of section 21 above and give consent for the above named person to take part in the marked activities.
