Shooting Giffards

I think your firearms team may have advised incorrectly…when it’s not on FAC it can’t be fired, regardless of it being an antique. The HO guidance does refer to occasional firing, but only when on ticket.

I also think that this is right. A pal of mine who has a few air canes was told emphatically by his FLO that he must not fire them unless he adds them to his certificate.
I suspect that it's a case of different areas interpreting actual law differently. Not at all helpful to owners !
