You will need this permit if you intend to conduct a historical re-enactment event involving the possession and use of firearms by participants. The permit does not authorise the use of ammunition. However, blank cartridges may be used if the event is being carried out in front of an invited viewing audience, or at a place away from public view and hearing.
If you intend to use a muzzle loading black powder cannon in a historical re-enactment, you must also apply for a cannon permit.
