Coterminous Licence

I was just wondering what peoples views are on applying for FAC and SGC at the same time for a first licence?

People i know have always had SGC first but i have genuine reason and need for both

but i dont want the FEO to see it as taking the piss and decline both

Plenty apply for an FAC first because that is all they need. Co terminus does nothing other than save you money by only calling out the feo for one trip rather than two.

Financially it makes sense.

as long as you can give good reason, which is what you have to do for FAC anyway, then you should be fine

thanks for your replies. the only thing that worries me is i know fac is alot stricter so i dont want them to for any reason decline my fac but then decline my sgc aswell

If you are fit to possess a shot gun you are fit to have fac.......the only difference is you need a reason to have fac......

Unless you are a danger to yourself or others or are otherwise disqualified from owning firearms, then they are required by law to grant you a shotgun certificate. They cannot pick and choose who they grant certificates to unless they can satisfy themselves and a court if needs be, that you are a danger.

 

A firearms certificate isn't really "strict" it just requires a reason to acquire each firearm along with suitable land or membership of a target shooting organisation. In other words, just more forms to fill in.

 

Again, it is not for the police to choose who they grant a FAC too, if you have good reason and not incapable of safely owning firearms, they must grant it.

 

If you are really worried about your chances, join one of the shooting organisations who will fight your corner for you if it is likely to result in a grant.

Sporting shooter said it all to be honest, but to repeat, applying for both can in no way affect your entitlement to a shotgun cert.
