Frequently asked questions.
Why has my firearms licence been revoked?
If your licence has been revoked, it will most likely be for one of the following reasons:
- Authorities have deemed that you are unable to handle your firearm(s) safely because of ill health
- You’re not of sound mind or considered too unstable to be trusted with a firearm
- You no longer have a valid reason for possessing a firearm
- You are considered a danger to public safety when in possession of a firearm
- You have been given a prison sentence of three years or more – this will prohibit you from possessing a firearm for life
- Receiving a custodial sentence of three months or more, but less than three years – this would prevent you from owning firearms for five years on the day of your release from custody
How long do I have to appeal if my firearms licence is revoked?
You will have just 21 days to appeal. Due to the short timeframe, it’s worth taking advantage of Cartwright King’s free, initial telephone conversation to discuss your options.
The Crown Court will review your appeal, which is why it’s crucial that the evidence you provide is correct and properly presented to give your appeal the best possible chance of success.
An appeal gives you the opportunity to gather statements and references attesting to your character, trustworthiness and attitude toward firearm safety to add strength to your case.
How long do I have to wait for a decision on my appeal?
A decision on your appeal may take no more than one day, once a Crown Court judge has reviewed the evidence alongside two lay magistrates.
