The Firearms (Scotland) Amendment Rules 1992
These Rules prescribe additional conditions to which a firearm or shot gun certificate under the Firearms Act 1968 (“the 1968 Act”) is to be subject in certain cases. There are conditions which ensure that possession, purchase or acquisition of certain weapons or ammunition by a certificate holder for the purpose only of a collection are restricted to that purpose. There is also a condition which ensures that possession, purchase or acquisition of expanding ammunition by a firearm certificate holder is restricted to certain purposes, namely use with a slaughtering instrument, sporting purposes, estate husbandry, competition purposes (including target shooting) and target shooting outside competition.
