47E. Exemption from definition of prohibited person in Firearms Act 1996

Despite anything to the contrary in the Firearms Act 1996, a person, in
relation to whom not more than 12 months have expired since that person was
found guilty by a court of an offence against section 41, 42, 43 or 44(1), is
deemed not to be a prohibited person (within the meaning of that Act) unless
the Court, upon that finding of guilt, imposed a term of imprisonment (within
the meaning of that Act).
