Maybe its just here and depnding on the type of firearm.

"The firearm and magazine or chamber thereof".

This refers to non detachable magazines, if in doubt check with the certification authority that issued the condition.

I doint think so, could the same not apply to LB/ handguns in the rest of the UK. As you say if in doubt check with the certification authority.

Or just read section 19 firearms act 1968 ! It's very easy to find ! You be suprised what you find on the Internet

Ok just to be difficult, what about a holstered unloaded modern muzzle loading revolvers ie Westlake ! On the way to club and you just holster it under your jacket ?!

There were a number of people who used Stone Lodge ranges pre '97, that used to carry pistols in shoulder holsters when riding motorbikes to the range.

Again it could depends on the conditions on your FAC.

That might be contained within the British Standard but nothing like that appears in the Fire Arms Licensing Law guidance (and British Standards are not law).

I would assume if it is a condition printed you FAC you have to follow it.

If those extracts come from a NI FAC then it seems to me that there are different conditions applied to NI FACs than to those I see in the UK.

Obviously the legislation affecting shooters in NI is different from that in the rest of the UK, you can have pistols is the obvious difference.
