A amnesty is on at the moment for unregistered firearms and ammo. You have a number of options if you are unlicensed. Hand them in to the police but no compensation will be paid. Hand them in to a licensed dealer and then apply for a license and then get them registered. Sell them through a licensed dealer. If you have unwanted ammo our club has required licenses and will accept them out at the range each weekend. If you are licensed and have unregistered firearms register them through a dealer or hand them in to the police without any questions asked. This amnesty end at the end of September 2017.
