1. The number of firearm dealers registered at the end of the year may not equal the number of new registrations added to the previous end of year total, minus refused registration renewals and cancellations, as it is possible for dealers to be removed from the register if a danger to public safety is identified, etc. In 2009, one firearms dealer in Strathclyde had their licence revoked.
2. Based on mid-2010 population estimates for Scotland (General Register Office for Scotland).
