Not really, but a land manager local to me told me that he'd been granted his fac variation for .270 cal despite a conviction for wife beating (he hadn't!).

Apparently a chap of the same name and date of birth (but different birth place, address etc etc) had been convicted and the force had confused the two.

So chaps...its ok to beat your wife if you are asking for variations is the moral to this story

This is obviously a wind up.....

 

If not, then list your convictions and go from there. Some convictions will stop you in your tracks, others no so.

Another great avatar for THL !! Thank goodness we have a licensing system!

I am not sure if you are winding us up here or if you genuinely think that you are ready to hold a fire arms certificate. Your avatar and the comment on your profile: "hunting an guns bows blades its all gravy =)" does not suggest to me that you are of the right mind-set to be holding any kind of fire arm. However everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt and if you do post the sort of convictions that you have if any then I am sure some of the guys on here will give you some advice.

I had one conviction on my record , which ended up bein admonished in court but it still shows up on your record. I applied for my licence not long after this and had no problems. But living in a small community meant the police man here knew me well and he understood what the conviction was all about. So it wasnt a problem.

altohugh i shouldnt have

[Ratsmasher 36]

it normally depends on the nature of the conviction if its to do with violence then youll have problems also how long ago

also you are banned for life on SGC (not sure about FAC but id guess its the same) if you get a sentence of 3 yrs +

If you have a criminal record as long as your arm with violence and disorder running through it then it's unlikely you will be trusted with a fire arm and rightly so in my opinion. If however you have a couple of cautions for something daft you did as a lad 10 years ago you will be fine.

At the end of the day it's down to your FAO to make that decision, with the best will in the world we can only guess what the outcome would be, get in touch with your local firearms officer and take it from there..
