Hi Ian,

 

Welcome to the forum, it might be worth giving the BASC a call and see what they have to say about it.

Cheers

He might be able to offer advice? but the organisation (SACS) can't do anything ie: represent you retrospectively if your not a member!! He got involved in a case down south for a member on here and the lad lost his ticket despite all Ian Clark's assurance's

If the candidate (your son) has any sort of mental illness the chances are that the certificate will not be granted. Especially if the candidate has had Depression. I'm not implying that your son is unsafe, but in the eyes of the law he may well be unsafe with his own shotgun. It's a very unfortunate thing to happen but I don't think there's much that can be done, especially if your local FAO has already turned down the application.

Many thanks to all of you that give a bit of info to this subject and replied to me, I made alot of phone calls yesterday but they are all saying the samething roughly. (try if you want) BUT????.

During the shooting season I have a lot of shooting clients and how some of them get a lincence a just dont know may be polotics I presume.

So would it not be pratical for your local officer to go into the field with you and see if you can handle a weapon safely not just being able to read it from a bloody book.

It must be easy target to show that not all get though the system. uummmmmm

 

Many thanks to all for your help.??

I expect your son could really do with a hobby like shooting, it might help him focus on something important to him that gives him that buzz. But to the one responsible for handing out the slips they might think he will throw a wobbly while holding a loaded gun. Can you speak face to face with the Firearms officer with your son so he can get a good picture of the situation.
