Do you need land when applying for a FAC

maybe its down to how you come across in the interview with the FAO then, as yes I mentioned pest control job, would be a fool not too,

 

 

It's not going to hurt if you tell the FEO that your a professional pest controller but it means diddle squat to the process, unless your employer can provide written evidence that you need an FAC to carry out your day to day job. If your self employed and can provide evidence that you need an FAC to carry out your work, I am reliably told that you do not need to have land to register your FAC on as you can prove "good reason" bit like a terrier man with a HD pistol (in the old hunting world before the ban). If you work for a big company, then other than providing supporting evidence that you have _some_ knowledge of pests, it's not going to sway any FEO because you simply don't need an FAC to do the work.

Dadio, I agree it sounds pedantic, but who can really say that they actually "need" a firearm? Many of us use them for pest control and the like, but as a hobby. So we "need" them in the same way that someone who knits "needs" their needles. Now if the requirement was a "need" then most of us would lose our FAC's.

 

We have good reason to hold, for sure, but we don't actually have "need".

What happens is the fac is for your job, as im needing to apply for mine for controling fox's on the estate where i work. Will my boss the estate factor still have to write me a permission letter. Thanks.

p.s. He will be one of my referees.
