NOTES FOR APPLICANT
1.
With certain statutory exemptions, it is an offence for a person to have in their possession, or purchase, or acquire, any firearm or ammunition without holding a firearm certificate. The Firearms (Jersey) Law 2000 applies to all firearms, including shotguns and ammunition, except
(a) air weapons designed for use under water and air weapons with a muzzle energy of less than one foot-pound;
(b) flare guns;
(c) de-activated firearms;
(d) antique firearms kept as a curiosity or ornament;
(e) ammunition for an air weapon;
(f) shotgun cartridges containing 5 or more shot, none of which exceeds .23 inch diameter; and
(g) blank cartridges not exceeding one inch in diameter, measured immediately in front of the rim or cannelure of the base of the cartridge.
2.
A person sentenced to imprisonment for a term of 3 years or more is prohibited by law from possessing a firearm or ammunition; a person sentenced to imprisonment for a term of 3 months or more but less than 3 years is prohibited for a period of 5 years from the end of the sentence from possessing a firearm/ammunition; this includes detention in a young offenders’ centre (see Article 37 of the Law for full details and circumstances in which such prohibitions may be lifted).
3.
An ‘unauthorized person’ is any person who is not entitled under the provisions of the Firearms (Jersey) Law 2000 to have in their possession the specific firearm/ammunition.
4.
A firearm certificate is granted subject to specified conditions and it is an offence to fail to comply with any condition of a firearm certificate.
5.
A firearm certificate is valid for 5 years from the date of issue or renewal.
6.
The Connétable cannot consider this application until a reference form is received from each Referee named in Part B.
7.
Where information is provided or continued on a separate sheet of paper, the question number to which the information relates must be stated and the information must be signed with the applicant’s usual signature and the date.
8.
The amount of ammunition that a person will ordinarily be permitted to possess at any time is 5,000 rounds. An applicant who wishes possess a greater amount will need to show good reason why he or she should be permitted to do so.
9.
Applicants must ensure they have applied for renewal of their firearm certificates in good time at least 3 months prior to the expiry date so as to allow the necessary checks to be made and the application to be determined. If a firearm certificate is not renewed prior to the expiry date then all firearms/ammunition in the applicant’s possession should be lawfully transferred to a registered firearms dealer or surrendered to the police to avoid being in breach of the law.

Part C Reference
Note – The referee is required to declare that he/she knows of no reason why the applicant should not be permitted to possess a firearm. The referee should therefore be aware that the law requires a Connétable to be satisfied that the applicant can be permitted to possess a firearm and ammunition without danger to public safety, or to the peace, and that the law prohibits the grant of a firearm certificate to any person whom the Connétable has reason to believe is prohibited from possessing a firearm, to be of intemperate habits, unsound mind or to be for any reason unfit to be entrusted with a firearm. Referees should bear in mind the character, conduct and mental condition of the applicant in so far as they are relevant to these matters. Please give your opinion as to the applicant’s suitability to possess firearm(s)/ammunition or on any other aspect of the application that might be relevant to enable the Connétable to decide whether to grant an application.
