FAC Question

[fcat]

my fac states:

.36 muzzle loading pistol
.45 muzzle loading pistol
.22 rifle

During the home inspection, the officer was very clear that as far as the FAC was concerned "muzzle loading pistol" covered single shot and revolvers. The calibre was the important point. Similarly, ".22 rifle" covered single shot and semi-auto and there was no explicit restriction to rimfire - although I'm not aware of any .22 centrefire.

However, different licensing depts may have their own rules so best to talk to them.


Police & RFD's are pedantic about calibre, not the type of action. For example, a Ruger Old Army is marketed as .45 although it might be more properly be described as .44. An RFD won't supply you with an ROA against a .44 slot - it has to be .45. All rather silly in relation to BP pistols but there we are...
