FAC application with history.

[scubadog 6]

Hello

 

I have held a SGC for 12 years.

I have recently joined a syndicate and now need to shoot rabbits and foxes for vermin controll and the posability of deer stalking.

 

My question is how would you suggest going about my application for a FAC.

 

The only problem I can see is that 2 years ago I had a slight road rage incident.

I was not arrested or cautioned for this.

I have had a SGC renewel since this incident and the licenising officer had a little chat with me about the incident.

 

I have since then had no further incidents or contact with the police.

 

I am looking to do a DSC1

and a BASC sporting rifle course.

 

I have acces to a good mentor whop is willing to mentor me and have acces to some acres of

land in Dorset that has been passed for most calibres.

 

So how should I approach this?

Should I just apply and hope for the best?

Or should I contact the licencisng officer and chat with hime prior to my application?

 

Thanks for your help.

if they were happy to renew tour sgc,you should'nt have a problem with your fac.!!!!!!!!!!

Shouldn't be a problem as the application clearly asks have you ever been CONVICTED of blah blah, which you haven't.

As you weren't charged you should be fine but if in doubt phone up and ask your F.A.O. and you will get a straight answer

i was told 1year later when i got my license back,after i defended myself against a attacker,the police suggested for me to take a caution and have it over and done with. if i had of done so i would have lost my license, but as it was in self defense i fought it to the end it took a year and 2 days [bANNED TEXT] i got my rifles back the problem was the other person was worse off than me .
