FAC Conditions
Closed Condition: Firearm certificate may have a condition restricting quarry shooting to “land deemed suitable by the chief officer of police, for the area which the land is situated”. This means that any land which you have permission to shoot over must also be approved by the police force for the area in which the land is located prior to shooting taking place.
Open Condition: This condition allows the holder to shoot on any land he has permission to shoot over without needing to seek police land approval. This is known as the ‘less restrictive’ or - more commonly - the ‘open’ condition.

Closed (if it is closed, you may not be permitted to use your own rifle at some venues – you will be advised beforehand if this is the case)
