Aye but that's because of the novelty value of no longer having to get the bus.....

I have heard all the tosh about it being computerised and don't worry, they can verify from the roadside etc etc etc but my reply was simple - until I see that reflected in legislation, I will continue to carry a FAC when carrying a firearm.

I would rarely carry my FAC and have being stopped by the police they were able to confirm that I had a FAC with one radio call. One reason I don't carry it is if I lost it I don't want my name address number and type of firearms getting into the wrong hands.

What does the law actually say? I always carry my FAC but I deliberately NEVER carry my driving licence and docs day to day.

Keep it with one of your guns then. You're unlikely (I hope...) to misplace that. tongueout
