I would that though that a fountain of wisdom like yourself would have read and understood some of the basics from the firearms act before you spout about them .the running man wrote:]t... So all the people in this country that have 2 shot pistols for humane dispatch are they breaking the law too?
I am happy however to assist your education .
Section 3 of the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997 provides an exemption for handguns
specifically for humane dispatch. The language of this section does not restrict the grant of a firearm certificate for a handgun for this purpose to any particular class of person, e.g. professionals such as vets etc .
So in plain english a FAC holder can possess a Section 5 handgun on his FAC for humane dispatch . If the police wish to place restrictions on the ammunition capacity of the handgun this work must be carried out by a Section 5 dealer .
