128 Recognition of disqualification to hold firearms licence (1) If a non-local FVO that is a recognised FVO disqualifies a person from holding a non-local firearms licence, or type of non-local firearms licence, the person is also disqualified from holding a local firearms licence or local firearms licence of the same type (as the case requires). (2) If the person is disqualified from holding a non-local firearms licence by a recognised FVO, the registrar of firearms must— (a) for an interim recognised FVO—suspend any local firearms licence held by the person; and (b) for a final recognised FVO—revoke any local firearms licence held by the person; and (c) refuse to issue a local firearms licence to the person. (3) A recognised FVO disqualifies a person from holding a non-local firearms licence or type of non-local firearms licence if the FVO expressly— (a) disqualifies the person from holding a non-local firearms licence or type of non-local firearms licence; or (b) revokes or requires the person to surrender a non-local firearms licence or type of non-local firearms licence held by the person. local firearms licence means a licence, permit or other authorisation under the Firearms Act 1996. non-local firearms licence means a licence, permit or other authorisation to possess a firearm (within the meaning of the Firearms Act 1996) issued under the law of another jurisdiction or country.
