Only if you have firearms in the vehicle. It’s based on safe transport of firearms.
Your statement is rumor based on Olympic shooter Diamond.
Correct,
a single PCA or other driving conviction
by itself would not be enough to cause any issue with your shooters license, if however a person has multiple driving convictions, this can be used by the police to question your fitness as a proper person to hold a shooters license, THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST, with people having their shooters license cancelled, or new applications questioned, but only where there have been multiple driving offences.
I know of one very recent matter, where a new applicant was required to submit a reason as to why his multiple speeding fines should not preclude him as a fit and proper person, he had to get references to show that other than the driving matters, he was of good character and was otherwise a responsible person.
