Court Date

[Barky 24]

Well guys my court date is here (Tuesday) but since the last time me and the misses have sorted things out which is all good, back in January I had my 3 shotguns taken from me by the police as my misses said I threatend her since then she has dropped everything and said she made it all up so she's had a phone call today to say its been thrown out of court and that's the end of it, so I ran the firearms to see what was happening and they told me they will deal with it as and when they want! My question is do you think il get them back as I was arrested for false alligations! Atb guys

I don't see they can hold it against you , if its thrown out of court its no case to answer even better than a not guilty I would think .Your wife is lucky they never charged her with wasting police time ( not that they don't waste loads of it them selves ).good luck

you ll get them back but you will have to be on your best behavior for a couple of years as if they get the slightest excuse theyll revoke it again

I was in magistrates 3 times and crown court 4 times last year over the same incident, I was accused of assault. Which was down to a mate I was with. I was found not guilty.

 

My FAO was on the phone once a month after the initial visit, and having told him my old certificate went through the wash my new one was in my hand a week after I was cleared of all charges.But he never took my certificate or guns away.

 

Every case is different, and so is every police force.........So no one on here will be able to tell you for sure. But I think you will get them back.

 

Might be different if you have given them cause for concern before though......

Being in bristol you will have a tough time of it your department is run by the same guy that doesbfixed penalties and he knows nothing about shooting, and cares even less about shooters, I know because I have been through it

[Barky 24]

Funny thing is when it happens you think your the only one, i did and i kept it quiet not wanting people to think i was a twat and no smoke without fire, but since this posting it seems that it is not un-common, i was 9 months without mine, I swore at the guy that was having an affair with my wife he went to the police and told them i threatened to kill him, i got a warning for a section 5 public order offence for swearing at him, and no action on the theat to kill even though they said they had a witness, it was a load of old bollocks fabricated by a dole scrounger and a slapper.
