Folks,

 

There seems to be an increase in the amount of threads asking for help when it comes to applying for Shotgun/Firearm Certificates and any variations or renewal problems that crop up along with other general advice.

 

By means of putting them all in one place, I will list the most recent questions and scenarios below and provide a link to the original topic,

 

When new questions pop up, I'll add them to the list.

Thanks for this massive help...

 

I have 1 question which I couldn't see in links above about permission. Once I've been passed for FAC with several permissions I currently have, what happens if I get another permission in future do I need to go through the process again ??

The mental health link has been removed? Do you have another?

      FAC renewal - Medical Report
      By niffkin
      Hello all,
       
      I wonder if any of you have had any experience with this.....
      I am in the process of renewing my FAC/SGC and as part of the process I have to write to my GP to ask him to send a medical report to Kent Firearms dept.
      I have written to my GP twice now using the generic letter that is enclosed with my FAC application form.
      I have no problem paying for the report but when a invoice landed through my letterbox for £128 ! I was shocked to say the least. I presume as soon as I make payment then the medical practice will send my report of to the FAC dept. 
      What are your thoughts ?

      Buying A Uk Gun From Abroad
      By Peadair
      Hello. I will soon be moving to France and hope somebody will know whether I can buy guns from UK dealers and have them sent. I don't have a FAC and doesn't look like I will have time to get one before I go. I will have a shooting license and a hunting license when I'm in France. Any info be greatly appreciated.
