waidmann 105 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 the firearm is not unlicenced,you have the licence. call the feo and ask him what the hell is going on bud. your name and address will have been enough to see you have the right to possess firearms(indeed the veh reg was enough to send an "aru"). the boys will be looking to get the overtime in by the looks of things. a waste of money the lot of them.

paulus 26 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 there supose to issue you with a section something or other wich is a tempory certificate until yours comes back but they never bother. Quote Link to post
bignoel 14 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 i did ask him how he knew i had firearms on board and he said the pnc check told him ? so i said well then you know i have a license his reply was you should have it on you at all times that this offence was a license revoke if they want to take it further ?? and yet they were fairly decent about it thats the odd bit Quote Link to post

RicW 67 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) Bunch of lying b'staards. You could legally FFS have been walking home with your gun in a slipcase. Since when does the status of your driving licence have any relevance to the status of your FAC? Still, keep schtum for a day or two. So long as you get your gun back and your driving licence sorted it ain't worth the hassle of going eyeball to eyeball with the man. Might be worth a quick word with a solicitor just in case tho, just to get your position on record. Ric Edited March 14, 2010 by RicW Quote Link to post
Leicester hunter 0 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) do they just cross reference the log book holder of the reg of the vehicle to find out you have an FAC? Edited March 14, 2010 by Leicester hunter Quote Link to post
JohnGalway 1,043 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 What a crock of shit, surely if they can check you have a gun in the first place then they can check you have a license. I wouldn't be one bit happy about that turn of events. Quote Link to post
bignoel 14 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 just checked the ticket they gave me it reads . male seen in vehicle in possesion of a s1 firearm no license held .? Quote Link to post
Guest busterdog Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Had a similar thing happen not to long ago and BASC told me that unless they give you a parshall revocation they have no right to take you're rifle. The revocation gives you the right of apeal, you now have none . The ball is in their court is the way BASC put it to me and they may well drag this on for upto a year, do i want to bother ???? . Hope you have better luck than me mate, don't lie down and take it. ATB Busterdog.... Quote Link to post
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 they had a firearm and ammo, god knows what happens when you hand it over...always insist on keeping the bolt if you are in a stickle....... best of luck.Snap. Quote Link to post
RicW 67 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 OK so further comments make it clear that you may have a problem. You should be able to get a half-hour session with a solicitor without a prior appointment. Make a few phone calls first thing tomorrow and check out your legal position. It'll cost nowt and could save you a lot of shite down range. ATB Ric Quote Link to post
