### sec.7 How a firearm is made permanently inoperable
A firearm is made permanently inoperable if the firearm is modified in the way prescribed under a regulation to make it incapable of being discharged.
However, a firearm is not taken to be permanently inoperable unless a licensed armourer or a person approved by the commissioner for this subsection certifies, in the approved form, the firearm as being incapable of being discharged.
The commissioner may approve a person for subsection (2) only if the commissioner is satisfied the person has the necessary expertise or experience to certify that a firearm is incapable of being discharged.
