Gardaí remind owners of legally held firearms to renew their gun licences

Gardaí have issued a reminder to the owners of legally held guns to renew their gun licences.

A Tipperary Town Garda Station spokesman said gun licences are now up for renewal and they are urging gun owners to renew them as soon as possible.

He pointed out it's a criminal offence to possess a gun without a current licence. If you have an out-of-date licence you risk prosecution and forfeiture of your firearm.
