POLICE are to hold a webchat for people to ask about gun licensing.

North Yorkshire Police’s Firearms and Explosives Licensing Department will be holding the chat on Monday, from 6pm to 7pm.

Dave Coutts, Head of Firearms and Explosives Licensing at North Yorkshire Police, said: “This is the second firearms licensing webchat we have hosted, and is part of our ongoing drive to make us more accessible to our customers whether they are certificate holders or not.

“Our first webchat last year was very successful, attracting more than 70 live attendees and almost 40 questions and comments.”

Log on to www.northyorkshire.police.uk/webchat or submit questions in advance on Twitter to @NYPFirearmsLic or at the North Yorkshire Police Facebook page. A transcript will be published afterwards.
