New members normally serve a six month probationary period shooting on the Club Firearms Certificate after which time and at the discretion of the Club Committee they would normally be elected full members. At this time they can apply for their own Firearms Certificate that would allow them to purchase and own their own firearm, subject to Police discretion.
The regulations regarding ownership and use of firearms are necessarily very strict and can appear complicated, but the rules are there for a reason and the club can advise and assist when you decide to apply for your own certificate.
