banned

[harrisspike1 0]

hi all looking to see if any of you have any experience of over turning a

firearms ban. it was given for a prison sentence given over six months

nothing violent about the sentence. it was a driving offence. and the ban is 5 years

 

any other questions needed will be answered

 

cheers

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

What was the driving offence?

[harrisspike1 0]

it was dangerous driving

[tom.k 8]

I THINK THE BAN IS BECAUSE YOU PUT THE PUBLIC/OR OCCUPANTS OFF THE VECHILE IN DANGER AND THEIR FOR THEY DEEM YOU IRRESPONSABLE AND NOT FIT PS ITS JUST A GEUSS

[Guest gypo joe]

You would have signed the firearms act when you done yer sentence

you are then atomaticaly banned from holding any firearms

[harrisspike1 0]

yes joe your right. you have no option either that or

stay in jail and still get the same at the end of your sentence.

 

any one have any ideas on over turning it

 

i should think it would be me against the plod to get rid. it might cost

but i think it would be worth it

Something like the BASC could probably give you the best advice on that mate. Probably give you an idea on how many they've worked on and the success rate.

its not the police you are fighting, its the home office.

and its one you wont win.

[Paul in North Lincs 15]

what they are saying is if you are not reponsible enough to drive a car in accordance with the law, then you may not be deemed responsible enough to hold a Firearms.

 

I do know of a couple of guys who have 'spent' convictions who now hold firearms, but these were mister meaners that were committed over 2 decades ago, and since the said persons had settled down married had families and could prove a renewed sense of reform and responsibilty.

 

Inner politics I'm afraid...............sometimes it can happen, but in most cases you've got more chance of sh1tting in the queens handbag .

Its not that you're deemed irrisponsible... its that you have been 'associating with criminals'. Same thing happened to my old man who was in a fatal car accident

does not apply when asking for fac/sgc .

[Foxgun Tom 75]

Depending on circumstances current legislation allows individuals who have served a prison term, provision to hold a shotgun certificate?? We at the Scottish Association for Countrysports have a member sentenced to an 18 month custodial sentence over 20 years ago, who will be shortly in receipt of his shotgun certificate. If an applicee is not banned by the courts or the current legislation he/she is entititled to a SC, An application fp a firearms cerificate is different and more stringent. There is no such thing as a spent conviction on firearms or shotgun applications, All convictions must be listed, I suggest you contact the Scottish Association for Countrysports (membership is open to the whole of the UK) for details and membership!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A car in the wrong hands is a dangerous weapon, a gun in the wrong hands is a lethal weapon, and you can’t have your cake and eat it.
