Licence revoced, how do i get it back?

[CharlieT 32]

The Firearms Act lays down the reasons for a revocation.

Revocations are always done in writing.

 

Your FEO will not be able to provide an answer on the phone as the decision will be that of the CC through the licensing manager. For a definitive answer you will need to re apply and insist that everything they tell subsequent to your application is confirmed in writing.

If you were discharged and not convicted of any offence I would firstly join one of the shooting organisations,SACS is very good and alot cheaper than BASC.Then if you get problems when you apply they will help you.
