Don't let them get away with that!

Refer them to the new Home Office guidelines for firearms licensing published in November 2013 and found here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...6_Nov_2013.pdf

Direct them to page 112, Paragraph 13.58 which states:

"Ammunition may be collected of itself, including expanding, incendiary or armour piercing ammunition or explosive that otherwise would be prohibited under Section 5 (1A) of the 1968 Act".

Incidentally, this seems to support the contention that a separate Section 5 authority is not needed!
