63 Adult firearms licences—restriction on issue of category
B licences
Unless a regulation prescribes otherwise, the registrar must not issue
a category B licence to an adult unless the adult, in addition to
establishing a genuine reason to possess or use a firearm, produces
evidence that satisfies the registrar that the adult has a special need to
possess or use a firearm to which a category B licence applies.
